There’s some Risk to this question, and my mind can feel a bit Scrabbled at times. However, I do have a Cluedo as to what the correct answers is, and for that reason, I’ll choose: D. Monopoly

 

”Go To Jail” might sound like a harsh square to land on, but it’s worth remembering the original version of the board game Life had a “suicide” square.

Haha, hopefully not the first. ;)

I suppose the pedologist would have been your downfall but the best thing is, here comes a completely new, random stack.

 

Do you wish to continue the tradition with 3 lifelines or opt for the 4th?

This will probably be a dumb decision in the grand scheme of things, but let’s make this game interesting. I’ll take 4.

And a podiatrist has to do with feet.

Yeah, I just searched it. Latin and Greek both have “Ped” as a root, but Latin adds an “o” (so Pedo) to mean feet.

I was certain he missed that. Why is the device that measures steps called a “pedometer” then. I thought “pedo” is the Greek root for foot/feet?

You picked right, as I'm absolutely sure about this one:

 

The answer would be A: Helium, which comes from the name Helios, given to the Greek Titan of Sun, ans serves as a prefyx in some languages for sun related words.

Plus, Hydro is associated with water (hydration, hydroelectric, etc.), Argon is a old Spanish Kingdom and the name of Jason’s vessel, and Lithium just seems wrong :p

 

Also, people sometimes confuse Helios and Apollo (saying that Helios is the Sun God and Apollo is something else), but the easiest way to remember that is by thinking about the flame lighting ceremony for the Olympics. The High Preistess “prays” to Apollo, not to Helios :d

I am not sure how it is elsewhere, especially in Lalaland...but here under the Tatras it should be definitely "C" :old:

The expert agrees with that answer.
