Quasit

For now, that was my bit of contribution to the community. Tomorrow is TAISC day, enjoy! I'll likely offer more quiz next weekend again. Thanks to @heywoodu and @Olympian1010 for playing and @dcro for helping out.

You said, for the better or the worse. This time it was ... for the worse. Eragon is a tetralogy. There are Eragon, Eldest, Brisingr and Inheritance. Inkheart is something completely different. But one way or another the good thing about it is, there is a book you have not read yet. For this game, sadly, it brings you back to 1,000 Points. Pts. 8,000 "Eragon" is the first book of which literary compound work? ♦ A: Twilight Saga ♦ B: The Inheritance Cycle ♦ C: Inkheart Trilogy ♦ D: Enchanted Forest Chronicles TOTAL WINNINGS ♦ P t s . 1 , 0 0 0 ♦

C: Inkheart Trilogy Pts. 8,000 "Eragon" is the first book of which literary compound work? ♦ A: Twilight Saga ♦ B: The Inheritance Cycle ♦ C: Inkheart Trilogy ♦ D: Enchanted Forest Chronicles

If there's a chance you can be wrong here, you should play it safe by 50:50 maybe.

@Olympian1010 Pts. 8,000 "Eragon" is the first book of which literary compound work? ♦ A: Twilight Saga ♦ B: The Inheritance Cycle ♦ C: Inkheart Trilogy ♦ D: Enchanted Forest Chronicles

@Olympian1010 That was an important lifeline saved, maybe. Up to 4,000... Pts. 4,000 What name is shared by a retired tennis player, a track cycling world champion and both, an Olympic champion in diving and fencing? ♦ A: Cate Campbell ♦ B: Li Na ♦ C: Anna Pavlova ♦ D: Choi In-jeong

Ah, hablamos español. Correcto! Pts. 2,000 Where are you if you stand in front of a sign that reads "Latitud: 0°- 0'- 0" Long. Occ. 78°- 27'- 8"? ♦ A: Ayers Rock ♦ B: Turkmenistan Cultural Centre ♦ C: Hollywood neighbourhood ♦ D: Equator in Ecuador ♦ P t s . 2 , 0 0 0 ♦

Of course.

Even if you mixed those up, does nothing strike you when you look at what the sign says?

@Olympian1010 Next up, 2,000... Pts. 2,000 Where are you if you stand in front of a sign that reads "Latitud: 0°- 0'- 0" Long. Occ. 78°- 27'- 8"? ♦ A: Ayers Rock ♦ B: Turkmenistan Cultural Centre ♦ C: Hollywood neighbourhood ♦ D: Equator in Ecuador

Bit of a shaky start but it can be turned around. You do not get any help by an expert anymore though. 50:50 Expert Switch Team 15 Pts. 1 Million 14 Pts. 500,000 13 Pts. 250,000 12 Pts. 125,000 11 Pts. 64,000 10 Pts. 32,000 9 Pts. 16,000 8 Pts. 8,000 7 Pts. 4,000 6 Pts. 2,000 5 ♦ Pts. 1,000 4 ♦ Pts. 500 3 ♦ Pts. 300 2 ♦ Pts. 200 1 ♦ Pts. 100

And that brought you 1,000 points. Pts. 1,000 For Dutchmen, "you" is simply "..."? ♦ A: e ♦ B: i ♦ C: o ♦ D: u ♦ P t s . 1 , 0 0 0 ♦

Very first run, mrv's Pts. 4,000 question.

Alright, then @heywoodu may help you out here.

I think you can solve this too but if you insist, both can answer even though you really just need one of them.

Like Olympian said, the risk is the possiblity to always crash down to the lower milestone. Some countries like Germany, Austria or Russia have that playstyle. In Germany, a man was recently asked a question for €750,000 (gambler special with more prize money, usually €500,000, 14th question) incorrectly and lost €249,000 of the €250,000 he had at that point.

@Olympian1010 Just one more and you will have another 1,000 points in the bag. Pts. 1,000 For Dutchmen, "you" is simply "..."? ♦ A: e ♦ B: i ♦ C: o ♦ D: u

Thank you dcro, absolutely correct. Pts. 500 Who did Zinedine Zidane famously headbutt in the extra time in the 2006 FIFA World Cup final? ♦ A: Gianluigi Buffon ♦ B: Francesco Totti ♦ C: Marco Materazzi ♦ D: Marcello Lippi ♦ P t s . 5 0 0 ♦

Okay, go ahead.

No shame in that but I admit it could have been low four-figures. dcro or heywoodu?
