Well, it happens. As I said, @Olympian1010had the same impression as me, so he just confirmed it. No offence, mate. (But as this is your second wrong suggestion, I suggest you not be an "expert" anymore :p ).

 

It seems male parts of flower are more connected to "stamina", which is also logical in some way.

I attended Catholic school, so even the flowers were sexually repressed :p

I was hoping for your knowledge of Latin... I mean for the fact you don't know Latin, so you might have rejected the sexual repression of flowers as well. :lol:

Well, what I've seen is we had three honest players today. It was pretty fun and interesting.

I do hope that @Olympian1010 continues to contribute, it was difficult past Q7 and it can happen.

The way I remembered it at school was that stamen had "men" in the word :d

That's a good way remembering it. Like I said, I had no idea between stamen and pistil myself if it were my question.

I know, I did awful today. In fairness, asking the American for advice on a football question was an interesting choice :p

 

Biology isn’t one of my strong fields of study either. Apologies.

 

My knowledge would be most helpful in the Humanities, Liberal Arts, and Politics/Current Events. I really do like to think that I am rather good at trivia, but @Quasit has come up with some difficult questions on a diverse array of topics.

That leaves us with 32,000 and 1,000 points for today.

Tomorrow night, it will be @OlympicIRL's run.

This was a lot of fun. Looking forward to having a go and also a little nervous in case I crash and burn on question 1 :d

My bad actually, we should have assessed your strong fields beforehand to give an idea on when to seek your help but then again, for the moment, you're the only expert lifeline anyway. ;)
