Now it looks like you're make it suspenseful.

@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 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.

Give me 2-3 minutes, it should work again.

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...

Sorry, have to interrupt for the moment. Internet stopped working on my PC.

That makes D your final decision?

You may discuss with @mrv86 then.

It is a difficult one for an expert, on an open question they'd need to be versatile.

Alright, first lifeline you've needed. Who will it be? dcro, Olympian or mrv86?
