Walo doesn't ring a bell at all. It does'nt sound very Swiss, maybe an acronym ?

 

I would lean the answers A or D, don't ask why.

I’m not familiar with French, so I’ll take your word for it.

That will leave you with the option to gamble and either lose 32,000 points or win 125,000, or you quit with 64,000 points, same as hckosice.

If it was a literature prize, I would expect the name of a writer (maybe Rousseau ?).

Sorry I couldn’t be of more help @toulousain 

[toulousain 35]

That's ok. Technically I live closer to Switzerland.

 

Gamble or not gamble ?

[toulousain 35]

For B, C or D, I would expect the name of a famous person in those fields.
