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!

@heywoodu

Well said.

In Dutch that would be the 'Seventh Heaven'  

 

In this case, however, I'm on cloud nine because I know the answer is C, cloud nine!

Yes!

I feel like this question is for at least 100k points  

 

C and D must just be funny options, but the other two don't really sound anywhere familiar. B seems the most like the 'joke' option though, specifically because of the trolleybus thing which seems way too specific  So I'm going for A, 'A Streetcar Named Desire'.

Good deduction which was all it needed.

@heywoodu

Of course.

Right, I'm going for 2 then  

Then we're all set for now. Good luck.

1, 2 or 3? Let me check again what that is  

Depending on what you say, you get stack 1, 2 or 3.

So you shuffle your own luck.

Let's go  

Alright. Well, you could have asked her if she wanted to be one of your experts tonight.

I do need you to give me number 1, 2 or 3 though.

I'm here!

Nice!

Busy with anything else while doing this?

@heywoodu

Sure, that shouldn't be a problem.

In fact, we can start right away once you are ready.

We need experts too, hopefully someone will show up.

Let me know, if anyone wants a run tonight (around 8 pm CET).

There are more old school names among the boys, who the hell uses the name Leon in 2021?

 

Germans apparently.  

Looks like there's no real general interest but maybe spontaneously announcing at the weekend also doesn't work out.  

I'll offer runs again this Saturday however.

You decorate the tree already the 4th ?

I have had mine (though artificial) up by the first Advent Sunday, so by the end of November this time.  

Anyone up for a round tonight?

Going back to regular randomised categories.

Wash at 22°C? That's an unusual temperature which I haven't seen before.  

It's also worth noting that 58-year old Ni Xialian won a bronze medal at the worlds, 38 years after she had won two world championship golds when she represented China back then. 

And thank you for playing again tonight. @Wumo  

It would be great to finish the November sports weeks with one more contestant tomorrow night.

Don't be shy, even if you think quizzes are not for you.

@Quasit

I'm really curious to know what the answer is? 

Turned out, the 50:50 was the best help you could have had because Los Mercenarios debuted in 2018.

So Los Perros del Mal was the right answer. They defeated the Clowns after over 600 victories in a row.
