Dear _____:

I am eager to work at a more thoughtful pace, with fewer artistic compromises. I have not yet decided on future projects, but my relationship with ___________ will continue.

That so many newspapers would carry _____X______ is an honor I'll long be proud of, and I've greatly appreciated your support and indulgence over the last decade. Drawing this _______ has been a privilege and a pleasure, and I thank you for giving me the opportunity.

Sincerely,
__Y_____

QUESTION 401 : Fight Fire with Fire.

Critics and fans alike agree that the show X was an animated imitation of  Y. Z admitted that "At that time Y was the most popular show on the air, and for my bill, it was the funniest show on the air. The characters, I thought, were terrific. Now, that influenced greatly what we did with X.... Y was there, and we used that as a kind of basis for the concept."

Question : Don't be harsh

A Harshad number, or Niven number in a given number base, is an integer that is divisible by the sum of its digits when written in that base. Harshad numbers were defined by D. R. Kaprekar, a mathematician from India. The word "Harshad" comes from the Sanskrit harį¹£a, meaning "great joy". The Niven numbers take their name from Ivan M. Niven from a paper delivered at a conference on number theory in 1997. All integers between zero and n are Harshad numbers in base n.

Using this as your baseline, what is significant about this question.

Question 399: Padon me

Using Varun Rajiv's quote, "left is to the right", 1:2 as 3: X

Id X (the pic is the blank that needs to be filled)
and give the connection between !,2 and 3,X.

And id anythign else you believe you should.

Elaboration:

This is an example of a question Varun Rajiv gave during Ipso Facto, the question was "left is to the right. Give the commercial application'
My question is simple
Pic 1 is related to pic 2
IN the same fashion, pic 3 is related to X ( the unknown), in the world of technology
And current affairs


Clue:
Person in 1: blank in 2
Person's legacy in 3: X

Id Each



(1)


(2)


(3)
