2009 Advent Calendar Quiz - Day 15

Hey All,

I thought I would send out today's challenge a might bit early, as we have an ad maniac in the group. Hannah got every single ad correct, not only the product, but also the company in nearly all cases.

The answers are as follows:

1. The towel is to promote the use of sunscreen and was created for skin cancer awareness
2. A tire ad for Goodyear tires. Your car will be towed away but your tires will stick...
3. FedEx Kinkos saying that "Office Products now at fedexkinkos.com" promoting their website where you can make on-line purchases.
4. Security Glass Advertisement by 3M.
5. Dettol Instant Hand Sanitizer Advertisement
6. Clorets ad for gum.
7. Burger King promoting really big burgers.
8. Monster.com ad, to help people find th
e right job. Ie, "We help you find the best place for your job."
9. Martial Arts School Advertisement.
10. Bose noise reduction headphones.

In other news, has anyone heard from last year's champion Chris H ... I'm sensing that 2008 was but a flash in the pan....a rare moment of elevated performance?

---------------------- Question #9 ---------------------------------------------------------------

We also got a winner for Question #9 last night. X=6 and X=243. Chris F. came through to secure his position in second place.

The x position is always achieved by taking the Factorial (!) of the top number in the square. ! of a number is the number sequentially multipilied by every positive integer smaller than itself. So for 3, 3! = 3*2*1 = 6. The y is achieved by taking the top number and raising it to the power of the lower number.
----------------------------------------------------Question #15 -------------------------------

I have been asking a lot of you all lately, so today will be simple as can be. Who is pictured in the attached image?
