Prompts and answers

  1. Prompt 1

    Name a branded fast-food menu item (like the Big Mac).

    Hint: 2,446 accepted answers. The gem starts with “H” and is 2 words.

    Most players say Whopper, McRib, Baconator, Filet-O-Fish, and Zinger, the heavily advertised signature burgers and sandwiches everyone knows. Any branded item on a menu qualifies, including breakfast, drinks, desserts, sides, and regional or limited-time offerings, so search beyond flagship burgers to local and international menus.

    2,446 accepted answers, showing 13 examples by rarity.

    Ray Kroc's Hula Burger put grilled pineapple and cheese on a bun as a meatless McDonald's option. It is rarely named because the Filet-O-Fish outsold it in a 1962 duel and the item quickly disappeared from menus.

    Who You Callin' Shortcake?, Caramel Pecanbon, Prince Burger
    211
    7-Layer Burrito, Concrete Mixer, Royal Crispy Chicken
    28
    McRib (4.7% of players), Filet-O-Fish (3.4%), Baconator (3.1%)
    5
    Whopper (9.2% of players), Big Mac (2.0%), McChicken (1.8%)

    • Grimace Birthday Meal · Launched for a limited time in 2023, McDonald's purple Grimace Birthday Meal included a shake and choice of Big Mac or 10-piece McNuggets; it was a short-lived promo easily forgotten.
    • Unwich · Wrapping sandwich fillings in lettuce instead of bread, Jimmy John's Unwich is a branded menu item that plays on the 'un' prefix to signal no bread.

    The crowd went for the Whopper, with about one in ten picking it. McDonald's own Big Mac was surprisingly far down despite being the example, while McRib and Filet-O-Fish followed. No Too clever trap here.

  2. Prompt 2

    Name an animal that sprays, spits or squirts something to defend itself.

    Hint: 112 accepted answers. The gem starts with “P” and is 3 words.

    Most players say squid, skunk, llama, octopus, and alpaca, the familiar spit-and-ink defenders from nature docs and zoos. The wording covers any animal that sprays, spits, or squirts anything defensively, so look to obscure insects, sea slugs, birds, and even mammals that use chemical or messy deterrents.

    112 accepted answers, showing 11 examples by rarity.

    The pygmy sperm whale defends itself by ejecting a reddish cloud of intestinal fluid, much like a squid's ink. It is rarely named because this deep-diving whale is obscure compared to skunks or spitting cobras.

    Marsh mongoose, Polecat, Parktown prawn
    24
    Hagfish, Chinchilla, Spitting cobra
    4
    Squid (18.6% of players), Llama (14.8%), Octopus (7.5%)
    1
    Skunk (18.1% of players)

    • Hagfish · Slime from a hagfish's glands expands rapidly into a cloud of goo when released, clogging the gills of any fish that tries to eat it.
    • Vinegaroon · This whip scorpion can aim a spray of acetic acid, which smells like vinegar, from the base of its tail at an attacker.

    Squid and skunk ran almost neck and neck, each attracting nearly one in five. That squid edged out the obvious skunk is a mild surprise, and llama wasn't far behind. No Too clever trap here.

  3. Prompt 3

    Name a part of a 2D or 3D shape (like a radius).

    Hint: 251 accepted answers. The gem starts with “S” and is 1 word.

    Most players say circumference, vertex, diameter, hypotenuse, and angle, the terms drilled in school geometry. Any named point, line, surface, or region of a shape qualifies, so advanced triangle centers, conic sections, spherical geometry, and polyhedra hide the deep cuts.

    251 accepted answers, showing 13 examples by rarity.

    Sagitta, Latin for arrow, is the segment from the midpoint of an arc to its chord, effectively the height of that arc. It is rarely given because it is a specialized geometry term not covered in typical school classes.

    1

    Nagel point, Face diagonal, Latus rectum
    27
    Plane of symmetry, Lateral face, Endpoint
    16
    Circumference (17.3% of players), Vertex (13.4%), Hypotenuse (7.9%)
    5
    Diameter (9.6% of players), Angle (7.7%), Radius (3.6%)

    • Space diagonal · Connecting two vertices of a polyhedron that do not share a face, this line segment is the 3D analogue of a diagonal and often forgotten because it exists only in solids.
    • Spherical cap · The dome-like portion of a sphere cut off by a plane, it counts as a physical part of a 3D shape but is rarely named because it is a region rather than a line or point.

    Circumference led, picked by about one in six, with vertex close behind. Radius, the prompt's example, ended up much lower, while diameter and hypotenuse also drew solid shares. No Too clever trap here.

  4. Prompt 4

    Name an upper-body gym exercise (strength exercises only; no full-body moves).

    Hint: 615 accepted answers. The gem starts with “B” and is 2 words.

    Most players say pull-up, lat pulldown, bicep curl, skull crusher, and lateral raise, the standard back, arm, and shoulder moves from any training plan. Any strength move that primarily loads arms, shoulders, back, or chest counts, including machine variations, stability-ball work, and odd-object or gymnastics-style lifts.

    615 accepted answers, showing 13 examples by rarity.

    The Bradford press alternates pressing a barbell from the front of the neck to behind the neck, working shoulders and triceps. It is rarely named because it is an old-school lift tied to weightlifter Jim Bradford, a 1952 and 1960 Olympic silver medalist.

    478
    Depth push-up, Tuck front lever raise, Pseudo planche lean
    108
    Bent-over row, Toes to bar, One-arm push-up
    24
    Lat pulldown (7.4% of players), Lateral raise (4.9%), Skull crusher (4.7%)
    4
    Pull-up (7.5% of players), Bicep curl (5.4%), Bench press (2.4%)

    • Hand-release push-up · By lifting the palms fully off the floor at the bottom of each rep, this push-up variant removes momentum and is used in army combat fitness tests.
    • Rice bucket · Digging, gripping and rotating the hands through a bucket of rice builds forearm and grip strength, a training trick borrowed from climbing and martial arts.

    Pull-up and lat pulldown were nearly tied, each around one in thirteen guesses. Bicep curl came next, while bench press was surprisingly scarce for such a well-known lift. No Too clever trap here.

  5. Prompt 5

    Name a Nintendo Wii game.

    Hint: 2,077 accepted answers. The gem starts with “C” and is 2 words.

    Most players say Wii Sports, Mario Kart Wii, Wii Sports Resort, Super Smash Bros. Brawl, and Mario Party 8, the bundled and best-selling titles everyone owned. Any game released on the Wii counts, including licensed kids' titles, regional exclusives, budget shovelware, and fitness or puzzle compilations that had small print runs.

    2,077 accepted answers, showing 13 examples by rarity.

    Captain Rainbow is a 2008 Japan-only Wii action-adventure about a wannabe superhero helping forgotten Nintendo characters such as Birdo. It stays rare because it never came westward and centers on deep-cut mascots rather than the usual Mario or Zelda.

    1
    Captain Rainbow
    1,847
    Home Sweet Home, Rapala Fishing Frenzy, Littlest Pet Shop
    214
    Epic Mickey 2: The Power of Two, Rayman Raving Rabbids 2, Resident Evil 4: Wii Edition
    11
    Mario Party 8 (3.5% of players), Just Dance (2.9%), Animal Crossing: City Folk (2.2%)
    4
    Wii Sports (14.3% of players), Mario Kart Wii (9.9%), Wii Sports Resort (5.0%)

    • Just Dance 2 · As a massive seller on the Wii, this dance game helped cement motion controls but is often skipped because players list Nintendo's own mascot titles.
    • Tony Hawk's Downhill Jam · This Tony Hawk spin-off on Wii swapped trick-based skateboarding for downhill racing, making it an easy title for series fans to overlook.

    Wii Sports was the clear leader, chosen by about one in seven. Mario Kart Wii followed at around one in ten, with the rest spread across other well-known titles. No Too clever trap here.

  6. Prompt 6

    Name a rap song with over 100 million Spotify streams.

    Hint: 5,545 accepted answers. The gem starts with “A” and is 3 words.

    Most players say Rap God, Not Like Us, God's Plan, WAP, and Lose Yourself, the viral hits and superstar singles everyone streams. Any rap song crossing the threshold qualifies, so album deep cuts, overseas rap, older catalog tracks, and one-off viral collaborations are rich seams.

    5,545 accepted answers, showing 13 examples by rarity.

    Gang Starr's 1998 'Above The Clouds' features Inspectah Deck of Wu-Tang Clan and has surpassed 100 million Spotify streams, so it qualifies. Few players name it because it is a late-90s underground classic rather than a modern chart hit.

    1
    Above The Clouds
    4,728
    Punto G, Standard, Yo Sé Que Tú Quieres
    722
    Valentino, Wolves, pick up the phone
    89
    Lose Yourself (1.2% of players), The Real Slim Shady (1.2%), Gangsta's Paradise (1.2%)
    5
    Rap God (2.8% of players), Not Like Us (2.2%), God's Plan (1.4%)

    • Work · Rihanna's 2016 hit featuring Drake is often classified as R&B or dancehall, but Drake's verses and its hip-hop DNA let it count as a rap song with over 100 million streams.
    • Suicidal Thoughts · The Notorious B.I.G.'s 1994 album closer is a bleak, piano-driven confession that has since passed 100 million streams, but fans often cite his bigger singles instead.

    Rap God edged out Not Like Us, but only about one in thirty-five chose it, showing a very scattered field. Eminem dominated the upper ranks with several songs. No Too clever trap here.

  7. Prompt 7

    Name a machine traditionally operated by inserting coins.

    Hint: 197 accepted answers. The gem starts with “M” and is 1 word.

    Most players say gumball machine, penny press, coin-operated washing machine, vending machine, and pinball machine, the everyday coin slots seen in public. Any device that starts or works after inserting coins qualifies, including specialized vending, service machines, arcade testers, and old pay-per-use public appliances.

    197 accepted answers, showing 13 examples by rarity.

    Mold-A-Rama is a coin-operated machine that injects warm polyethylene into a mold to make a plastic toy, like a dinosaur, right in front of you. Players rarely give it because the machines peaked decades ago and survive mostly at zoos and museums.

    1

    134
    Coin-operated printer, Horse racing game, Coin-operated air conditioner
    44
    Basketball arcade game, Coin-operated binoculars, Skee-Ball
    15
    Gumball machine (10.9% of players), Coin-operated washing machine (5.4%), Kiddie ride (5.2%)
    3
    Vending machine (4.5% of players), Slot machine (4.4%), Arcade machine (3.6%)

    • Fortune teller machine · A mechanical Zoltar-style figure will move and print a fortune card after a coin drops, a staple of piers and arcades.
    • Cigarette machine · Before smoking bans, bars and diners had coin-operated machines that dispensed packs, making cigarettes an over-the-counter vending purchase.

    Gumball machine led, with penny press close behind—a surprisingly strong Rare answer. Vending and slot machines, often the first thought, were mid-tier. No Too clever trap here.
