Do you want to play a game I'll call "The 10 questions"?

Asked by luigirovatti (3025points) October 9th, 2024

It’s general knowledge this time, not my interests. I’ll ask 10 questions, with two-to-four answers, wwtbam style, but in random order. With this, I mean, it’s not a climb to the million; it’s just questions I chose from the show, in a random order. Sometimes, it’s under 1,000$, sometimes, it’s higher than 32,000$, sometimes it’s in the middle. Anyway, I won’t put the dollars in front of the number, because it could apply as points anyway.

One more thing, you must obviously not answer these questions correctly. If you answer correctly you accumulate points, and then the one with the most points wins. I’ll post the solutions to the questions after 24 hours. I have only one rule: you can chat among yourselves, but don’t look for the answers on the web. Just use your knowledge.

Anyway, here’re the questions:
