Both Indian games were demonstrated at the Berlin Olympic Games of 1936, the display being arranged by the Hanuman Vyayam Prasarak Mandal of Amravati in Maharashtra, and this remains the only Olympic appearance either sport has made.

The rectangular field of play in standard kho-kho is 27 metres long and 16 metres wide, with a wooden pole standing at each end of the central lane and free zones beyond the poles in which the defenders may run.

The Kho Kho Federation of India was set up in 1955 as the national governing body for the sport, and it organised the first national championship at Vijayawada at the end of that decade; it also instituted the Eklavya Award for the best male player and the Rani Laxmibai Award…

Kho-kho grew up in Maharashtra, and its first written rules were drawn up at Pune by the Deccan Gymkhana in 1914, which is why the state is treated as the home of the game in every standard account.

A kho-kho team consists of twelve players of whom nine take the field.

The Pro Kabaddi League, a city-franchise competition played on a mat before a television audience, began in 2014 and is widely credited with turning kabaddi from a rural sport into a professional one with full-time players and sponsorships.

Kabaddi carries a different local name in almost every region of the subcontinent, and in Maharashtra the game has long been called hu-tu-tu, after the sound of the raider's chant.

Kabaddi was included as a regular medal event at the eleventh Asian Games held at Beijing in 1990, and India won the first gold medal awarded in the sport.

A raider gets thirty seconds from the moment of entering the opposing half, and the raid must end with a return across the mid line within that time, or the raider is declared out.

When a team succeeds in putting all seven players of the opposing side out, the whole opposing team is revived and the scoring team is awarded two extra points; this achievement is called a lona, sometimes spelt lona or lobh in older rule books.

Kabaddi, known there as ha-du-du, was declared the national game of Bangladesh after the country's independence, and it is the single most asked fact about the sport in competitive papers.

A kabaddi side fields seven players at a time and keeps five substitutes, so the squad named for a match is twelve.

Random Access Memory is the working memory in which the operating system, the running programs and the data in use are held, and everything in it is lost the moment the power supply stops, which is exactly what volatile means.

CMOS stands for complementary metal oxide semiconductor, and a small chip of that type on the motherboard stores the BIOS setup values such as the boot order, the date and the time.

Released by Intel in 1971, the 4004 put a complete central processing unit on a single chip for the first time in a commercial product and was a 4-bit processor, originally designed for a calculator.

Each address line can be either 0 or 1, so n address lines give two raised to the power n distinct combinations, and each combination is one memory address.

The address bus carries only the address of the memory location or the input-output port that the processor wants to use, and that address always travels outwards from the processor to memory, never back; a bus that carries signals in one direction only is unidirectional.

In 1945 John von Neumann described a design in which a computer's instructions and its data are both held in the same memory in the same binary form, so that the machine can be given a new task simply by loading a new program instead of being rewired.

The program counter, sometimes called the instruction pointer, always holds the memory address of the next instruction the processor will fetch, and it is incremented automatically as each instruction is taken up so that execution moves forward in order; a jump or branch instruction works simply by loading a new…

The ALU is the part of the processor that actually does the work on data: addition, subtraction, multiplication and division on the arithmetic side, and comparison along with the logical operations AND, OR and NOT on the logic side.
