4)What is Y?
Perhaps the most guilt-inducing holiday, Y,takes place on the day in which we have used up our resources for the year. Meaning, humanity has used more than the earth can regenerate for the year. It started in 1987, though humanity first went into overshoot the year before. In 1987, we acknowledged the extent of our resource gluttony on December 19. Last year, the holiday took place on August 22. The New Economics Foundation calculates the calendar day of Y by using the following formula: (world biocapacity/world ecological footprint) x 365.

4)X made their first appearance in 1964 during the Ranger 7 mission. JPL had six failures prior to this effort. The Ranger 7 launch day arrived and with it came the X. The mission performed flawlessly, as did its X-powered successors, Ranger's 8 and 9. Up until the Voyager mission, X showed up only at launch. Nowadays, they are often seen in mission control facilities during critical mission stages such as orbit insertions, flybys and landings, or any other event of high anxiety or risk.#Peanuts and NASA.

5)Identify X?

• At Princeton X received complaints for regularly playing extremely loud German marching music on his gramophone, which distracted those in neighboring offices, including Einstein, from their work.
   
• X's  favorite hobby was cracking Jewish and Yiddish jokes. In his deathbed X would call his best friends and would ask them to narrate to him new Jewish jokes they have heard.
   
• X was known for his quick computation
  Two bicyclists start twenty miles apart and head toward each other, each going at a steady rate of 10 mph. At the same time a fly that travels at a steady 15 mph starts from the front wheel of the southbound bicycle and flies to the front wheel of the northbound one, then turns around and flies to the front wheel of the southbound one again, and continues in this manner till he is crushed between the two front wheels. Question: what total distance did the fly cover? The slow way to find the answer is to calculate what distance the fly covers on the first, northbound, leg of the trip, then on the second, southbound, leg, then on the third, etc., etc., and, finally, to sum the infinite series so obtained. The quick way is to observe that the bicycles meet exactly one hour after their start, so that the fly had just an hour for his travels; the answer must therefore be 15 miles. When the question was put to X, he solved it in an instant, and thereby disappointed the questioner: "Oh, you must have heard the trick before!" "What trick?" asked X "All I did was sum the infinite series."
