• Caerphilly · Welsh coal miners favoured this crumbly cheese because it was easy to eat underground.
• Poule au pot · Henri IV reportedly wanted every French labourer to have one of these poached-chicken pots on Sundays.

Most players went for escargot, about one in ten, as the first French dish that came to mind. British classics like beans on toast, black pudding, and fish and chips followed close behind, while jellied eels landed as a rarer pick. No real too-clever trap emerged.

• Ape index · Compares arm span to height; climbers covet a positive ape index because longer reach helps on routes.
• Craniovertebral angle · Measures forward head posture; a smaller angle is associated with 'tech neck' from hunching over screens.

The crowd leaned into penis size most often, about one in ten, probably because it's a quick, jokey body measurement. BMI and blood pressure were also popular, but no single traditional measurement dominated, and rarer answers like nail length snuck in. No too clever trap stood out.

• Captain Sonar · Played in real time without turns, with crews shouting orders as they hunt an enemy sub.
• Minishogi · A 5x5 version of Japanese chess, using the same pieces but on a much smaller board for faster, tighter strategy.

Catan led the field at about one in eight, with Risk and Monopoly close behind—quick, familiar board game names. Clue and Stratego also drew plenty of guesses, even though some players might argue they aren't pure strategy games. No too clever trap emerged.

• Chickaree · Also called the Douglas squirrel, it lives in conifer forests of western North America and gives trilling calls.
• Cuckooshrike · Despite the name, it is neither a cuckoo nor a shrike but a passerine bird found across Africa, Asia and Australia.

Duck was the most guessed, about one in six, with cock and chicken close behind—barnyard birds were the go-to. Many also went for chick, buck, or tick, but the spread stayed broad across obvious and common tiers. No too clever trap appeared.

• Taiwan · Buddhism alone has more followers than Christianity here, and Taoist and folk practices are also widespread.
• Albania · Islam has more followers than Christianity in this officially secular European country, a legacy of Ottoman rule.

India led the crowd, but only modestly, with Bhutan and Indonesia close behind—clear examples of Hindu, Buddhist, and Muslim-majority countries. The guesses were spread widely, and no single answer dominated, which fits the huge pool of possible countries. No too clever trap emerged.

• Warren Zaïre-Emery · This French midfielder was a teenage teammate of Messi at PSG and made his senior debut at 16.
• Robert Traylor · LeBron's early Cavaliers teammate was known as 'Tractor' and was traded for Dirk Nowitzki on draft night in 1998.

Bronny James was the most common pick, but only around one in twenty, reflecting the huge pool of teammates across four stars. Rob Gronkowski, Stephen Curry, and Kobe Bryant were close behind, mostly tied to LeBron, Brady, or basketball fame. No too clever trap stood out.

• Peppercorn hair · This very tightly coiled texture forms small, springy spirals like peppercorns and is common in people of African descent.
• Low porosity · With tightly closed cuticles, this hair type repels moisture but holds it well once absorbed.

The crowd surprisingly leaned toward specific hair classifications: 4C, a tight curl pattern, was the top answer at about one in twelve. Strawberry blonde and auburn, natural hair colors, followed close behind, while obvious picks like wavy or curly were less chosen. No too clever trap emerged.
