Pts. 64,000

Who was a KWPN?
❆ A: Lech Wałęsa	❆ B: Pocahontas
❆ C: Totilas	❆ D: Nemesis Prime

Unfortunately I have no idea what a KWPN is. So I am going to use my last help, the switch, hoping for a question where I have more chances to guess it right.

Okay, we'll do that.

But would you believe dcro might go (positively) insane on this question?

Damn, I like this question.

 

p.s. Sorry I was away earlier on.

To put it short, a KWPN is a Koninklijk Warmbloed Paard Nederland, so a horse like Totilas was.

Here is your switched question but now you're all on your own.

 

 

 

 

Pts. 64,000

Cullinan I, Cullinan II, Cullinan III, Cullinan IV, Cullinan V, Cullinan VI, Cullinan VII, Cullinan VIII and Cullinan IX were or are ...?
❆ A: recently discovered galaxies	❆ B: early medieval kings
❆ C: high-carat diamonds	❆ D: mountains in the Himalayas

 

 

 

[Sindo 1,253]

Unfortunately I have never heard of Cullinan at all. I can just exclude mountains in the Himalayas , because I think I would have heard of them.

Given the lathin numbers with the same name it might sound better as a medieval dynasty, rather than giving the same name with different numbers to galaxies or diamonds. But this is just a random guess and I am not sure at all.

 

So I will try with B: early medieval kings
