1. The company X’s symbol is ‘Y’ also called the ‘X Man’ introduced in 1898, by French artist O'Galop (Marius Rossillon), and is one of the world's oldest trademarks. André X apparently commissioned the creation of this jolly, rotund figure after his brother, Édouard. The nickname Y comes from an early ad caption stating "Nunc est Y," a Latin phrase meaning "Now is the time to drink." (The ad showed the ‘X Man’ drinking down a beverage filled with spikes, nails, glass, etc. to show that its product was tough and could withstand the rigors of the open road). The original Y wore glasses and smoked a cigar. Y made a brief guest appearance in the Asterix series, as the chariot-wheel dealer in certain translations, including the English one, of Asterix in Switzerland. Give X and Y.
2. Simple trivia; just identify the Goddess.
