Question 904

'X' (primarily found in north-eastern India) holds the Guinness world Record of being the hottest! It is called different names in different regions.
An article in the Asian Age newspaper stated that experts in Assam are worried about a distortion of it's colloquial nomenclature of "Bhot" to "bhut"(or "Bhoot"), saying that this word was misinterpreted by the (Western) media, giving 'X' it's moodern name. The article stated that people living north of the Brahmaputra River call it "Bhot _____", "Bhot" meaning "of Bhotiya origin", or something that has come from the hills of adjoining Bhutan. A 2009 paper, published in the Asian Agri-History journal, gives the alternate common name as "bih _____" (bih means "poison" in Assamese, denoting the it's heat). The Assamese word "______" simply means pepper. (all blanks same) To talk of facts, on the Scoville scale 'X' is about 500 times ahead than it's nearest competitor.
It's very rare uses include the plans of using it as a weapon against terrorists!
