1.       X holds the record for the highest number of individual Oscars awarded. In his lifetime he received 20 Oscars, but he was posthumously awarded a further 6, making a total of 26. Of all the statuettes awarded him, the most famous "set" were an Oscar and seven miniature statuettes in 1938 for the film Y. X is one of the biggest legends in his field, and quite frankly, I knew about him long before I even heard of Marlon Brando, Hitchcock or even Spielberg. His legacy stands the largest media conglomerate today. Y is a classic and one of the most parodied children stories along with Hansel and Gratel. X and Y please?

X was born in 1910. Before his birth, the family had 3 sons. All 3 of them died in their infancy.
Hence, he was raised as a girl.  He was also made to wear a nose ring.It later earned him a nickname
Y , which is the name by which we know him. After the birth of his younger brother, he was treated
as a boy. He was a school dropout and was an member of the Hindu Mahasabha, and RSS. X was
sentenced to death in 1949 for assassinating a very famous political leader. Id X/Y .. 

Annoying, isn't it?

This show is centered around X. X lives in a kitchen with a few of his friends, like Pear,Midget Apple among others. X is voiced by the creator of the show. In most of the epsiodes, X is heckling other characters till they meet their end,  usually by a blender or a knife. X has several mannerisms. He often begins an episode by repeatedly yelling ,"Hey", followed by the name of the character till the other character responds.  If he does not like an object, he will often say, "You're an apple!", even if the object is not (e.g. a tomato).He uses various tactics, such as telling rude and offensive jokes, burping, and making childish noises with his tongue, to get attention. He also has a loud, braying laugh.
The show and X..

The Annoying Orange, and X is Orange

- In Dutch, X is a word which means "fun"
- In Welsh, X means "nonsense" – e.g., if a person wanted to say "utter nonsense" in Welsh, they would say "rwtsh X".
- Perhaps the most used and therefore the most mispronounced word in the Internet vernacular, X is pronounced as “Unnnhhh-ninininini” with the “Unnnhhh” real low and guttural and the “ninininini” like a high trill — as begrudgingly and maliciously ratified in a 1989 Usenet thread by users who had long since rejected spoken language.

Besides its most successful years in the 1950s and 1960s (German Championship in 1954, 1955 and German Cup in 1968), the club enjoyed remarkable popularity in 1956 when it even drew 40,000 fans to an open-air test game against Lancia Bozen, once a top basketball club from Italy. Later, in 1966, the club was a founding member of the top division.
In the following years the club slowly but surely faded into obscurity and in 1974 was even relegated to the 2nd Division. Since then, the club never completely recovered and only had a few successful years (X moved up to the First Division in 1987 and stayed there until 1989). Since 2008 the declared goal of the team is to return to the club’s former glory and return to the top division

Measurements?

The X Scale is a measurement scale for Y of Z. The maximum rating of a substance on the X scale may be 16,000,000 units (given to pure W). In the traditional method for determining Y, an alcohol extract of the W oil from a measured amount of Z is added incrementally to a solution of sugar in water until the Y is just detectable by a panel of (usually five) tasters; the degree of dilution gives its measure on the X scale. Modern methods however use sophisticated high-performance liquid chromatography to determine the W content by quantitative analysis. X, Y, Z, W?

X is an autobiographical novel by Y, written in 1929, when Y was 34. "It was my bitter leave-taking of England, where I had recently broken a good-many conventions", he wrote in the prologue to the revised second edition. The title points to the passing of the old order following the cataclysm of the First World War. The rise of atheism, socialism, feminism and pacifism, besides the emergence of new forms of literary expression, as they had to bear on Y's life, are explored in the work. A large part of the book is taken up by his experience of the First World War, and provides a detailed description of trench warfare.

Y later went on to contribute significantly in the study and interpretation of Greek Mythology, and his historical novel, written in the form of the autobiography of a Roman king, later went on to become a bestseller.
