Okay, 32,000 points if you know the answer to this question.

In which 'Tomb Raider' title does cult leader Marco Bartoli stab himself with the Dagger of Xian and turns into a dragon?
♦ A: Tomb Raider I	♦ B: Tomb Raider II
♦ C: Tomb Raider III	♦ D: Tomb Raider: The Last Revelation

I believe we have two experts in the house, one of which I don't really think is much of a hardcore gamer and the other one (who probably isn't neither) is too young for the early Tomb Raider stuff I would say, so going for the expert lifeline seems awfully tricky.

 

The only Tomb Raider experience I have from ages ago is that there's a tiger which is hard to kill and a big house with a cool gym and a maze in the garden, but that's not very helpful here  

 

Switch, please!

And in case I would have had to choose, I probably would have gone for D, maybe him turning into a dragon was the last revelation  I have really no idea.

It's wise you are switching, it was Tomb Raider II. It takes place in China (Great Wall), Italy and then specifically the region of Tibet again.

Where were the equestrian events of the 1956 Summer Olympics held?
♦ A: Melbourne	♦ B: Sydney
♦ C: Stockholm	♦ D: Philadelphia

This one I know, I believe! If I'm not mistaken, quarantaine rules (how 2021 of those 1950's people) made it as good as impossible to have the equestrian events in Australia, where the rest of the Olympics were held. Therefore, they were held in....C, Stockholm!

There’s going to be quite the handful of disappointed users if @heywoodu doesn’t know this...

With one in particular....one being both an available expert here and the Totallympics equestrian encyclopedia.

This one you seem for sure ...

Where were the equestrian events of the 1956 Summer Olympics held?
♦ A: Melbourne	♦ B: Sydney
♦ C: Stockholm	♦ D: Philadelphia

 

... and everything you said happened that way. The equestrian events were also held 5 months earlier than the "main" event, hence Sweden took the lead in the medal table and kept it until November.

 

You have won 32,000 points.
