Question

Connect the two pictures and the text below to give X:
X's metaphor of a readable book of life, a decipherable genetic code, might seem obvious now, but at the time this was a sensationally new concept. X viewed the genes in each cell as resembling offices that produce orderly events. "Since we know the power this tiny central office has in the isolated cell, do they not resemble stations of local government dispersed through the body, communicating with each other with great ease, thanks to the code that is common to all of them?" asked X.

"The notion that life might be perpetuated by means of an instruction book inscribed in a secret code appealed to me," Watson would later say. Watson went on to decipher the structure of DNA along with Crick. This notion was first voiced by X.

Question by me during genesis last year.

Question

This game, originally known as rochambeau violates the basic mathematical concept of transitivity, which states that for a transitive relation R, a R b and b R c implies a R c. Notions of "greater" or "lesser" follow from the ordering implied by the transitive relation.

What is this game?

This was made by Shayak Sen last year, and was in my opinion the best question of Genesis. I've changed some words here and there.

2)Facundo _____, a wine merchant, was born in Sitges (Catalonia, Spain) in 1814 and emigrated to Cuba in 1830. During this period, rum was cheaply made and not considered a refined drink, one rarely sold in upscale taverns. Don Facundo began attempting to "tame" rum. After experimenting with several techniques he hit upon filtering the rum through charcoal, which removed impurities. In addition to this, Facundo aged the rum in oak barrels, which had the effect of "mellowing" the drink. The final product was the first clear, or "white" rum in the world.
Emilio _______, eldest son of Don Facundo, was exiled from Cuba for having fought in the rebel army against Spain in the Cuban Independence War.After the Cuban War of Independence, and the American occupation of Cuba, "The Original Cuba Libre" and the Daiquiri were both born with ____ rum. In 1899, US- General Leonard Wood appointed Emilio _______ Mayor of Santiago de Cuba.
Bosch and other _______ family members initially supported the Cuban revolutionaries, including Fidel Castro and the broader M-26-7 movement: Bosch personally donated tens of thousands of dollars to the movement, and acted as an intermediary between the revolutionaries and the CIA to assuage the latter's concerns.Family members, employees and facilities were put to use by the movement, and the company supported the revolution publicly with advertisements and parties. But their support turned to opposition as the pro-Soviet Che Guevara wing of the movement began to dominate, and as Castro turned dictatorial
Fill the blank with one word.Sorry for the big essay.

3)X, the creator of the Y, has attributed the origins of Z to the 1963 Arthur Lipsett abstract film 21-87 which used samples from many sources.

"One of the audio sources Lipsett sampled for 21-87 [a film that had a great influence on X] was a conversation between artificial intelligence pioneer Warren S. McCulloch and Roman Kroitor , a cinematographer who went on to develop IMAX. In the face of McCulloch's arguments that living beings are nothing but highly complex machines, Kroitor insists that there is something more: 'Many people feel that in the contemplation of nature and in communication with other living things, they become aware of some kind of force, or something, behind this apparent mask which we see in front of us, and they call it God.'"
Tell X,Y and Z.
