GENERAL KNOWLEDGE EXAM

POINT BLANK:
Point blank is a term in gunnery.  When a cannon is so placed that the line of sight is parallel to the axis and horizontal, the discharge is said to be point blank and is supposed to go direct to the object without a curve.  In French point blank is the white mark of the bull's eye in target, to hit which the ball or arrow must not deviate in the least from the exact path.
