What is a lapis lazuli?
♦ A: Mishap	♦ B: Metamorphic rock
♦ C: Ice floe	♦ D: Slacker

I actually know that one! Although the answers make me doubt a little  

 

I know lapis lazuli is a mostly blue mineral/rock (hence it's answer B), because as a kid I somehow enjoyed the name, and I am 99,99% certain it's especially connected with Afghanistan. Since I know what it looks like, and it's a kind of rock, I'll go for B!

I  think they were also valuable in ancient Egypt, those beautiful stones.

You've guaranteed yourself a thousand points with that!

A classic 1990's Disney Afternoon television series was "Disney's Adventures of the ..."?
♦ A: KitKats	♦ B: Gummi Bears
♦ C: Skittles	♦ D: Pretzel Sticks

Hardest question so far! I'm assuming KitKat and Skittles are too much of a brand name to be used in the name of a TV series....adventures of the pretzel sticks and the gummi bears both seem silly  But at least I think bears can be more....'human-like'? So I'm going for B, Gummi Bears!
