Blue Whale

Hey guys ! Today we are gonna talk about the popular and deadly game : BLUE WHALE. This game has now been removed from Google and Apple's server but still is the talk of the town. Many of us know what this game is about but do we all know what happens in the game.



CREATION

First of all let us begin with its creation. The game was originally created in Russia in 2013 with "F57", one of the names of the so-called "death group" of the VKontakte social network. A psychology student Philipp Budeiken who was suspended from his University claims to be the Mastermind behind this game. After being asked the reason behind creating this game he said he wanted to clean the 'biological waste'. By the term he means to destroy all the humans who are of no use to the society. 

THE CHALLENGE

The Blue Whale game is also popularly known as the blue whale challenge and is one of the most deadliest challenge. The game is based on different tasks. Each player is termed as a challenger and is provided with one administrator. The game goes on for a duration of 50 days during which the challenger has to complete 50 different tasks. The photographic proof of all the tasks is sent to the administrator and then only the game moves forward. 


First few tasks are relatively easier than the last ones. After few days if the challenger wants to quit the game he cannot. The administrator threatens the challenger that if he quits now then the administrator will harm him/her or their family. The final task of the challenge is committing a suicide and that is the reason why it is the deadliest challenge till date. 

TASKS

The tasks of this challenge makes it a unique challenge. All the fifty tasks are to be completed at a particular time given by the administrator. The first task is to wake up at 4:20 AM which is believed to be biblical reference to the Leviticus 4 20 Laws for the Sin Offerings. Most of the tasks include waking up at 4:20 AM. The second task is to tell your best friend that you hate them. The third task is marked by watching a scary film at  midnight and mainly 'The Ring' . 

Task 4 is actually the main entrance in the whale world. The challenger is asked to announce his status of being a whale to the world by uploading a status as ' #IAMAWHALE ' on all the social platforms. The sudden moving out of all the social circles is because of the tasks like watching scary movies all day and listening to audio files that are sent to the challenger by the administrator. According to the reports these audio files contain breathing sounds and that also upto 3 minutes. 

Till now it was only a game of destroying your mind but after this task it becomes a game of self harming. The challenger is asked to carve words like 'YES' or 'F40' on his arm to prove that he is still in the game. Then in some tasks they are asked to poke needles in their arms or safety pins in their cheeks. As I described some try to back out at this stage but cannot. Now the game slowly moves towards the idea of committing a suicide. Few tasks involve sitting at the terrace with your legs dancing in the air or going near the railway tracks at 4:20 AM. Not all tasks are known to us because some are kept confidential in a different language.


From Day 30 to 49 the tasks are based to completely separate the challenger from the outer world. The tasks involve watching scary movies all day or listening to audio files repeatedly. The second last task is to meet a fellow Whale who will give them a time and date for suicide. The 50th task starts buy uploading a social status saying 'END' with a photo of the challenger preparing to suicide. Most of the teens who had committed suicide were having a large blue whale carved in their hands. 



STATISTICS

According to the reports the first suicide was in 2015 in Russia. Approximately there have been 150 deaths in Russia because of this challenge. This game has caused deaths in other countries also like : US , Brazil , Argentina , Italy , China , Portugal , India and many more. In India the first case was reported on July 30 and from then many cases have been reported. The age group mainly includes the students from 7th grade to 12th grade. 


Thanks to the cyber police that we are all safe from this game and thanks to all my awesome readers who read this article and spared their valuable time for me. If you want to hear more from High School Pedia subscribe to our newsletter and also like our Facebook page.

Animal and Plant Cells

 Cells Cells are the basic functional, biological and structural unit of life. The word cell is a Latin word meaning ‘small room’. Cells are also known as building blocks of life.  The branch of science that deals with the form, structure, and composition of a cell is known as Cytology. All organisms around us are made up of cells. Bacteria, ameba, paramecium, algae, fungi, plants and animals are made up of cells.  Cells together form tissues. And tissue together makes an organ. History Of Cell The cell was discovered by Robert Hooke in 1665. He assembled a simple microscope and observed a very thin slice of cork under his primitive microscope. The cork was obtained from the outer covering of a tree called bark. Robert Hooke observed many little-partitioned boxes or compartments in the cork slice. These boxes appeared like a honey-comb. He termed these boxes as the cell. He also noticed that one box was separated from another by a wa...

Important Mathematical Constants!

Important Mathematical Constants Mathematical constants are those numbers that are special and interesting because they come up in the various fields of mathematics like geometry, calculus etc. These mathematical constants are usually named after the person who discovered it and they are represented by a symbol that is usually picked up from the Greek alphabet. Mathematical constants are by definition very important. In this article we will take a look at certain mathematical constants that are more commonplace than others. 1.       Ï€ (pi) or Archimedes constant (~3.14159):   Ï€ is defined as the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter. This is probably the most popular mathematical constant. So Ï€ is the circumference of the circle whose diameter is 1 unit. You might have seen it popping up when calculating the area of a circle (Ï€r 2 ) or the circumference of a circle (2Ï€r). It has many uses throughout mathematics from calcula...

Autonomous Cars

The Problem with Self-Driving Cars Every year, so many people die in car accidents, most of them caused because of the driver's negligence. Exorbitant amounts of money are spent just to fund awareness campaigns and stop people from “drinking and driving”. All of this after the fact that the technology for self-driving cars is in the last stages of development. Why are self-driving cars not the next big thing yet? Companies like Tesla, Uber and heck, even Google are racing to be the next innovator of autonomous cars. “This is stupid… Obviously, the cars are expensive.” See that’s the point, these cars are not ridiculously expensive (at least not for people who own an iPhone X). “Well then we obviously don’t have the requisite technology” That is partially true but trust me, the cars are way closer technology-wise than you may think. The biggest problem with autonomous cars is (insert drumroll) “A Moral Dilemma”. Disappointed? Just hear me out. Imagine ...

SETS, RELATIONS & FUNCTIONS

SETS, RELATIONS & FUNCTIONS Sets are a fundamental part of mathematics and it’s knowledge is very important in present. It defines the concepts of relation and functions. These functions are also very essential for present day maths. SETS Sets are denoted by capital letters. They are similar to matrices whose elements are denoted by small letters. But in sets an element comes only at once. Sets are matrices which give a sense of belonging. This sense of belongingness is represented by  ∈   .We can write anything in a set like rivers of India, Wonders of the World .etc.  For an example let there be a set of positive single digit. Let the set be denoted as A Therefore, 8 ∈ A  Also we can write, 17 ∈ A Set can be represented by two types  ROSTER In roster form we write elements in curly brackets and separate them with comma.  If there be set of positive integers less than 10. Therefore the set will be {1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9}  SE...

Android Versions Named After Sweet

Have you ever thought why are Android versions always named after sweet names ?? Everytime a new Android version is launched its name is kept after a sweet name. Many people have researched about this topic and many have asked Google also. Have you ever tried to find out the core reason behind this? If not then you would find the answer here . First of all let us first see what Google says about this : In 2008 i.e. the year when Android was launched a reporter asked the reason for the same. At that time Google said “It’s kind of like an internal team thing, and we prefer to be a little bit — how should I say — a bit inscrutable in the matter, I’ll say,” said Randall Sarafa, a Google spokesman. “The obvious thing is that, yeah, the Android platform releases, they go by dessert names and by alphabetical order for the most part."

Levitation 2

LEVITATION II To be completely honest I was going to start this with a pun. I did think of one but it doesn’t float… I am sorry I just had to. Anyway, this is the second part to the article on super cool ways of making things levitate. Go check the first part out if you haven’t already. Actually, the first part may have become repulsive with all the magnets and stuff, but I promise this will be more attractive. Get it? No? I’ll stop now. I am just going to jump straight into it. 1.    Electrostatic Levitation I know you are probably sick and tired of magnets but they are the best way you know… This method is somewhat similar. You remember that cool science experiment you did with two straws attracting or repulsing each other based on their charge? So basically using the same principle we can make a charged object levitate. But before you try it, let me tell you it won’t be easy. Even impossible according to our Mr. Earnshaw. He even made a law (th...
