Not sure about it but I think it is Islamic months. 

 

Awwal means Best/first in Urdu. Also, Hijjah could be the month of Hijra, the journey of Mohammed from Mecca to Medina.

I am also currently working on a Millionaire-based quiz for those who are interested. Not sure when exactly but I may possibly arrange my first quiz night next week, before 2021.

Thanks for the help, @Dolby :) I can really use your thoughts.

 

I think it's some good points and observations dolby made, so I will take a chance and go with A.

Rabi al-Awwal can be translates as "the first" or "beginning of spring".

Dolby's advice was RIGHT!

And that means you've equalled toulousain's 250,000 points in just the very next run.

 

Your lifelines are now gone, however.

@Wumo

It's all on you and 500,000 points. If you decided to go for it and got it wrong, we will subtract 218,000 points of what you have at the moment.

Take your time, here is your 500,000 points question.

I think even if I spend hundreds or thosound of minutes on this question I would never be able to come with a solid guess. I have no idea. Not even the slightest. 

 

Quasit, I came here with zero points. I'm really happy to get to this point in the quiz, but I will stop and keep the points I have for now.

      Here's a comparison relative to 2024 (I removed the new team sports to make it more comparable). This ignores Belarus and Russia.   Largest Increases Relative to 2024 1.  +58 2.  +44 3. +31 4.  +29 4.  +29 6.  +28 7.  +27 8.  +24 9.  +22 10.  +21 10.  +21   Unsurprisingly, the United States is expected to see the largest increase thanks to host quotas. It's not as massive as previous host nations, but that's because they don't need host quotas for most sports. South Africa is looking at a big increase, but only if they accept the water polo quotas this time around.     Largest Decreases Relative to 2024 1.  -135 2.  -43 3.  -38 4.  -33 5.  -31 6.  -29 7.  -28 8.  -26 8.  -26 10.  -23 10.  -23   Again, no surprise to see France topping the list as they no longer benefit from host quotas. Ireland takes heavy losses not only by losing two large team events, but is generally down in most sports. Interestingly, Italy has the same number of large team events, but it's the drop in athletics and rowing which caused it to be so high up in the list.

      Thanks to everyone who voted for , and especially to @OlympicIRL for another win and for putting in the effort to organize this edition! Unfortunately, I’ve been really busy these days attending online events about archaeology and museums. Hopefully, I’ll find time to participate next time.
