And also, if I survive this question, I'm requesting a roughly 15-20 minute personal break to quickly take care of something  

You may have your break now and I'll see you in a bit for the second part.

I was doubting between that and the lunar phase, so the 50:50 worked out nicely  

 

As requested, I'm now in need of a short break, but I'll let you know the second I'm back. Shouldn't be much more than 15 minutes or so!

To recap the situation, you're at Pts. 8,000 but it has been a bit expensive getting there as you only have your expert lifeline left.

You have to survive the next two questions to reach 32,000.

The break was fine and I'm ready!

@heywoodu

Get ready for Pts. 16,000!

 

 

 

 

Pts. 16,000

Which planet did William Hershel observe and discover in 1781?
♦ A: Mercury	♦ B: Mars
♦ C: Uranus	♦ D: Pluto

 

 

[heywoodu 14,910]

I think A, B and C were observed way before that, so I'm going for D, even though by now it's not a planet anymore, making the wording tricky! D, it is!

Mercury and Mars were discovered way before by Sumerians and Babylonians. That much is correct.

Pluto, however, was only discovered as late as 1930 by a man named Clyde Tombaugh.

Hershel discovered Uranus.

That concluded quickly but I hope you'll be back for more runs in the future. It was a difficult path.

Unfortunately, the big-winning streak is coming to an end but as always, thanks for playing.
