Sorry, have to interrupt for the moment.

Internet stopped working on my PC. 

 

No worries. I thought you were just adding suspense

Not for that long, I was about to log in. We'll solve that mystery at least.

 

You're right, Kala Namak is a type of black salt harvested in the Himalayas.

You are on Pts. 32,000 and I hope to be back soon, otherwise we'll have to resume tomorrow. 

 

Sorry about that...

About the delay, don't worry. I'll be here if you get it working again and if not we can resume tomorrow.

Okay, let's make this official. With mrv's help you made it to 32,000, so that's guaranteed.

 

 

Pts. 32,000

Kala namak ...?
♦ A: is an Indonesian honorific	♦ B: blows in the Kalahari
♦ C: requires 32 cards	♦ D: seasons dishes

 

 

 

♦             P t s .  3 2 , 0 0 0           ♦

 

 

And it looks like we can resume immediately if you're ready.

Thank you @mrv86 for your help

@OlympicIRL

Awesome. Then let's have a look at question 11 right away. You do have 2 lifelines remaining.

A wrong answer won't drop you down. Here it is:

 

 

 

 

Pts. 64,000

In an average human lifetime of 70 years, approximately how often does the heart beat?
♦ A: 250 million times	♦ B: 2.5 billion times
♦ C: 40 billion times	♦ D: 1.5 trillion times

 

 

[OlympicIRL 6,299]

@QuasitI take it I am not allowed to use a calculator right?

 

Because I would multiply 78 (a somewhat average adult heart rate) x 60 (minutes in an hour) x 24 (hrs in a day) x 365 (days in most years) x 70 (number of years). There's no way I can do this in my mind.

 

So the answer is I don't know off the top of my head so I will have to switch.
