Interesting, they do look vaguely familiar, but the name does not...at all

It's pretty long for a title anyhow. People just said Gummi Bears.

 

So far so good, we're going for 4,000 next with this question:

I really can't find anything else than 'timple', but I think that's a musical instrument....I have genuinely no idea whatsoever

 

What are my options for help again?

Well, if you want to use a lifeline you can eliminate two wrong choices (50:50), which might not help you out a lot if you have no clue.

You can also switch out the question and get a new one for this level or you can ask Wumo for help.

Pillow anagrams weren't in Wumo's list of specialties and the 50:50 would do exactly that: give me a 50 percent chance  

 

I'll switch the question, because this one is just impossible for me

Seems sensible.

Well, it's not a total shuffle of letters in this case but a lobster turns into a bolster here.

I have never heard of a 'bolster', so good thing I just gave up

@heywoodu

May this be a better question for you then.

 

 

 

 

Pts. 4,000

Which event for men existed between the 1936 and 1956 Summer Olympics?
♦ A: Individual cutlass fencing	♦ B: Greco-roman wrestling -250kg
♦ C: Double skeet shooting	♦ D: Canoeing C-2 10,000m

 

[heywoodu 16,461]

No way the 250kg category existed...right?  

 

And cutlass fencing seems unrealistic! I think canoeing used to have these longer distances, so I'm going for D.
