Quasit

Nah, champagne bottle. It's the wire cage on a cork.

Okay. Then we shall do that. Guess?

@mrv86 Well, you're going to see the upper level after all. And you've got your 50:50 and Switch left. You can not lose anything on Q11 so you might as well go for it... Pts. 64,000 Which of these items contains a muselet? ♦ A: Candlestick ♦ B: Roulette wheel ♦ C: Champagne bottle ♦ D: Light bulb Question by OlympicIRL

Ethiopia are the Walia Ibex and Egypt Al-Firaeina. That took one lifeline (and half an hour) but you are on 32,000. 50:50 X 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

is wrong. And you're right! Pts. 32,000 If you cheered for Team Melli, which national football team do you support? ♦ A: Iran ♦ B: India ♦ C: Ethiopia ♦ D: Egypt

India are blue. The Blue Tigers. Olympian1010's suspicion that it was Ethiopia.....

Then that is brave... Pts. 32,000 If you cheered for Team Melli, which national football team do you support? ♦ A: Iran ♦ B: India ♦ C: Ethiopia ♦ D: Egypt

@mrv86 You're going against advice and without further lifelines?

@Olympian1010You can speak openly here, it's meant as a discussion. Your advice is not compulsory if you don't know yourself.

Of course. We're waiting for that.

I think it's time to get some water.

If you get this wrong, you'll lose 15,000 points. You are also not obliged to go with a friend's advice. You can use up multiple lifelines, if needed. Just to bring you up to date.

@mrv86 Actually that means an open conversation here.

@mrv86 Interesting... then you are now allowed to consult with @Olympian1010 on this one. No time limit, by the way.

@mrv86 32,000 waiting and not even the fragment of a doubt. This question separates you from a guaranteed 32,000. Either way, with all lifelines you should definitely get there.

@mrv86 Then I'll have to consider myself defeated on this one. Pts. 16,000 Which two US states share a border? ♦ A: Ohio & Oklahoma ♦ B: Maine & Maryland ♦ C: Nevada & Nebraska ♦ D: Illinois & Indiana

@mrv86Well, after all you have left more than half of them behind. Two away from the next milestone and it will get more dramatic. Here is your ninth question for 16,000 points: Pts. 16,000 Which two US states share a border? ♦ A: Ohio & Oklahoma ♦ B: Maine & Maryland ♦ C: Nevada & Nebraska ♦ D: Illinois & Indiana

@mrv86Are you at least somewhat shaken that we'll go for 16,000 now?

@mrv86You are a very quiet man. But you are right once again. Pts. 8,000 On 22nd March 2020, what caused a spire of Zagreb Cathedral to break off? ♦ A: Plane crash ♦ B: Earthquake ♦ C: Storm Ciara ♦ D: 2020 TAISC riots

Pts. 8,000 On 22nd March 2020, what caused a spire of Zagreb Cathedral to break off? ♦ A: Plane crash ♦ B: Earthquake ♦ C: Storm Ciara ♦ D: 2020 TAISC riots
