Dear Friend,

The answer to Q. 3. is wrong, if you meant the iconic shoe brand - Adidas.
"The "adidas" brand name comes from the portmanteau (blend of names) of the creator, Adolf "Adi" Dassler's, name."

Your answer is what constitute a "false acronym" or backronym.
Here's a relevant link from Wikipedia :

Adidas has been explained as "All Day I Dream About Sports". The word Adidas actually comes from the nickname of the company's founder, Adi Dassler.[16] It was also alternatively backronymed as "All Day I Dream About Sex",[17] a backronym popularized by the band Korn and rapper Killer Mike, who recorded a song A.D.I.D.A.S.. In Spanish, a popular and sarcastic backronym for Adidas is "Asociación De Idiotas Dispuestos A Superarse" ("Association Of Idiots Willing To Improve").[18] In Dutch, a similar joke exists, "Alle Domme Idioten Doen Aan Sport" ("All dumb idiots engage in sports")

Backronym - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Study the link, and you will understand why your answers to other question, Q.2 - Yahoo, is also wrong, if you meant the web-based e-mail service provider.

The answer to Q. 12 is also wrong.

Please read the following from the link given below :

"The 007 number assigned to James Bond may have been influenced by any number of sources. In the films and novels, the 00 prefix indicates Bond's discretionary 'licence to kill', in executing his duties.

Rudyard Kipling wrote a short story entitled ".007: The Story of an American Locomotive", in which anthropomorphized train locomotives talk about their work and problems; the story has nothing to do with espionage, but Kipling's work would have been very popular during Fleming's youth and he could well have been familiar with the title. Kipling was also the author of "Kim", a popular and influential spy novel also about an orphan spy.

Another version of the origins of the number 007 is that it is the number of the coach service from Deal in Kent to London, passing by Higham Park, where Ian Fleming spent much time, and where he was inspired to write his children's novel, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.

It is also said that Bond borrowed his 007 title from Dr John Dee. The 16th century English secret agent used the code for his messages to Queen Elizabeth I. The two zeros meant "for your eyes only".

It has been alleged that there was a Soviet assassination unit known as "double zero" or "double oh"."

It should be the responsibility of the poster to "research" well, before posting his article. I hope, next time instead of posting something casually, you will take extra care.
