Everton Two is the name of the flagship store of Everton Football Club, through which it sells its official merchandise. However, the name Everton Two sounds a little nonsensical.
On the contrary, there is a very interesting philosophy behind the naming of the store.
What could be the possible reason of keeping such a name?

On 30 March 1867, President Andrew Johnson signed the treaty for purchase of X by the USA from the Russian Empire.
X was sold by the Russian Empire due to the fear of seizure if a war broke out with the United Kingdom.
The formal transfer took place on 18 October 1867, because of which October 18 is celebrated as the X day every year.
What is X?

PS: Given below is the 7.2 million $ cheque used for the purchase of X.

The Puratchi Thalaivi passed away yesterday.
May she rest in peace..

Jayalalithaa made her debut in films with a Kannada movie. But she made her debut in the Tamil Film industry with the movie Vennira Aadai in 1965.
But as fate would have it she couldn't watch her debut movie when it was released in the movie theatres.
Why would that be?

The United States of America has imposed two important embargoes on trade with Cuba and North Korea.
The embargo against North Korea was imposed in 1950 whereas the embargo against Cuba was imposed in 1962.
The above two embargoes mean that North Korea and Cuba are now the only two countries in the world where officially the buying and selling of X is restricted.
Identify X.

X is a very popular game, which has many variations.
However, one very basic rule of the game is attributed to the French Revolution, which represented the triumph of the common man over the Royalty, or the lower rung of the society over the upper one.
After the Revolution, this rule was changed, and it has remained the same, ever since.
Id the rule and the game.

Hint: It's something related to Diwali!
Happy Diwali everyone! :)

Since, our page recently reached 400 likes, we decided to dedicate a question, to a man unanimously linked to the number 400, Brian Lara.
It is a known fact that Brian Lara is one of the greatest test batsman in the history of cricket.
Apart from holding several records like, most runs in a single innings of a test (400 runs against England in 2003) and most runs in a single over of a test match (28 runs of Robin Peterson), he holds one more record, a record which could be broken in the near future, looking at the rate at which the game is tilting towards the batsmen.
Id this very brilliant record, set by Lara in 1994.
