Today, X is the best-selling board game in the world, sold in 103 countries and produced in 37 languages. It was developed in 1934, the height of the Great Depression, when Charles B. Darrow of Pennsylvania, showed what he called the X game to the executives at Parker Brothers. Can you believe it, they rejected the game due to "52 design errors"! But Mr. Darrow wasn't daunted. Like many other Americans, he was unemployed at the time and the game's exciting promise of fame and fortune inspired him to produce the game on his own. With help from a friend who was a printer, Mr. Darrow sold 5,000 handmade sets of the X game to a Philadelphia department store. People loved the game! But as demand for the game grew, he couldn't keep up with all the orders and came back to talk to Parker Brothers again. The rest, as they say, is history! In its first year, 1935, the game was the best-selling game in America. And over its 65-year history, an estimated 500 million people have played the game of X!

   Over 200 million X games have been sold worldwide.

World records are maintained for the longest game in a treehouse (286) hours, Underground (100hours), in a bathtub (99 hours) and upside-down (36 hours).The longest  game ever played was 1,680 hours long. That is 70 straight days!

In Cuba, the game had a strong following until Fidel Castro took power and ordered all known sets destroyed.

For the love of football don't Google!!!

X was born on 7 April 1983 in Boulogne-sur-Mer and raised in a low-income neighbourhood on the fringes of the city. 

When he was two years old, he and his family were involved in a car accident in his hometown, colliding with a truck.

X suffered serious facial injuries that resulted in over one hundred stitches and left two long scars down the right side of his face. 

Prior to joining Stade Brestois in 2003, he worked as a construction worker with his father, which X referred to as a "learning experience". 

X is a convert to Islam and, following his conversion, adopted the name Bilal Yusuf Mohammed.

NOT SO FAMOUS LINES WHICH DESCRIBE SOMETHING VERY FAMOUS

Just tell me "who" has described "what" in these lines:

""The lines spring out from the base, rising in spirals, stretching out to receive the world. From the remarkable dynamic tensions of the compact body of the sculpture rise the figures of two athletes at the stirring moment of victory""




Ans: FIFA WC trophy, designed by Silvio Gazzaniga
