Sorry for late posting of questions but can't help it exams on .. will be regular again once it gets over ..
well here's the question

In 1992, a student at the California Institute of Arts, created a short film “The Whoopass ___”
which was picked up by Hanna-Barbera as an innovative cartoon. They modified the name
“Whoopass” as it was considered inappropriate and then created what was considered to be a
combined spoof on American/Japanese superheroes, making heavy references to pop culture and rock bands of the 70s and 80s, especially the Beatles, along the way.

Thanks for a huge response to DD#32 & DD#38
The correct Answers would be declared tomorrow.

Daily Doze : DD#42

Q. The _______________ is a phrase that encapsulates the more technical notion of sensitive dependence on initial conditions in chaos theory. Small variations of the initial condition of a dynamical system may produce large variations in the long term behavior of the system. So this is sometimes presented as esoteric behavior, but can be exhibited by very simple systems: for example, a ball placed at the crest of a hill might roll into any of several valleys depending on slight differences in initial position.
