I think even if I spend hundreds or thosound of minutes on this question I would never be able to come with a solid guess. I have no idea. Not even the slightest. 

 

Quasit, I came here with zero points. I'm really happy to get to this point in the quiz, but I will stop and keep the points I have for now. 

Another 250,000 Points it is then right after toulousain last time. Congratulations and I hope you enjoyed. :thumbup:

 

 

TOTAL WINNINGS

And I'll let @toulousain do the honours and reveal the answer as I think he would know. ;)

I am also currently working on a Millionaire-based quiz for those who are interested. Not sure when exactly but I may possibly arrange my first quiz night next week, before 2021.

And that would have been the right answer. It can also be the window right above the door.

 

 

Pts. 500,000

 

   A loanword for what developed in 18th century France

from when German visitors asked them "Was ist das?" - "What is that?"

 

 ♦ A: Transom windows  ♦ B: Spiral staircases    
 ♦ C: Dumbwaiters  ♦ D: Gas heating

 

 

The French name for a transom window is 'vasistas' which derives from the German phrase 'Was ist das?', literally meaning 'what is that?'. Coined by German soldiers during WWII, asking the French

Thank you for the explanation @toulousain :). As you wrote, this question would have suited you very well as a 500,000 points-question.

 

It has been a real pleasure participating in this, @Quasit. Thank you so much for taking your time to organise this. It's a really fun activity and good questions by you and @OlympicIRL:).

 

I will definitely give it a second run at some point and see if I can improve my result.

Does anyone like a game tomorrow?

If no one new asks to go, I’d like to take a second try at it, if allowed.

To be honest, for now I'd prefer as many first runs as possible before having a return, so we'll have to wait for that a bit. ;)

If no new contestant enters, can I have another try?

I was hoping for more than 7 runs before having the first return but I'll consider you an Olympian again in March.

      Most people know taekwondo from watching the Olympics. However, only sparring is recognized in the Games - poomsae (forms) is completely left out. It's time for the Olympic program to acknowledge poomsae and give taekwondo's artistic discipline the recognition it deserves.   Sign this petiton: Make Poomsae an Olympic Sport

      Meanwhile Trump is - again - at the edge of legality by threatening a journalist/media company with jail time if not giving up a source for information around the US airman rescue in Iran. Nice and public on live TV.
