Now, whatever happens, you are currently the unshared record player with at least 251,000 points.

 

With that in mind, here's your next question.

As it goes with so many things, Greece and Cyprus are very close connected and in this case also. As the highest point in Cyprus is also named Mount Olympus just like its Greek counterpart. Two different mountains/points, but same name. D is my answer.

I know nothing about Persian textile patterns or textile patterns in general for that matter. :lol: I would like to use one of my lifelines and switch out this question with another. A 50-50 wouldn't help me in this case and I would like to save my expert for later.

Oh alright.

Well, we're talking about the beautiful Paisley pattern here.

Shweshwe is African, Argyle is the Scottish diamond pattern and Herringbone is presumably old European.
