6 questions, easy to hard, then Ivy's pick. Here is every answer, and why.
Answer: Avocado. The word comes from the Aztec 'ahuacamolli', avocado sauce. 'Ahuacatl' also meant testicle, because of the way the fruit hangs.
Answer: The Dark Knight. Ledger died before release and won a posthumous Oscar. He kept a diary in the Joker's voice during filming, and the pencil trick in the film was done with a real prop built for one take.
Answer: Nokia. It sold about 126 million units, came with the game Snake and a battery that lasted days. Memes show it surviving car crashes; a nostalgic remake was launched in 2017.
Answer: Indonesia. Only the proportions differ. Monaco reportedly protested when Indonesia adopted the flag in 1945; Indonesia replied that its red and white went back to the medieval Majapahit empire. Poland is the same flag upside down.
