First questions

Ques 1.
A list of regulations were released by The German government , effective April 1, 1905, intoducing three new terms/conventions:

1. Ruhezeichen ("Cease-sending signal")
2. Suchzeichen ("Quest signal")
3. Notzeichen

How is Notzeichen more famously known?

Ques 2.
X is a foam-covered iced drink . It is very popular in Greece especially during summer, but has now spread on to other countries.

In French, when describing a drink, the word X means shaken and/or chilled; however, in popular Greek culture, the word X is predominantly taken to refer to the shaking associated with the preparation of X.

Hi,

My name is Sandeep (Surname deliberately not provided)

These are my answers:

1. Notzeichen probably means "No Signal". Splitting the word, we find the string 'zeichen' common to all three terms. Looking at the English translation, we find the word signal also common. Hence, the answer must be _________ signal. My guess is that the blank is 'No'. Hence, the answer is "No Signal".

2. Perhaps a martini. James Bond phrase, 'a martini, shaken but not stirred'.
