[Cephrir]

Meh.

[PrivateI]

Another country question? I never thought a simple World Geo class in high school would be this beneficial. By a process of elimination, I am hoping that

Sierra Leone

Is the correct answer.

[DeasVail]

PrivateI is safe once again!

[doctorwho]

I'll

pass

.

[DeasVail]

This is now Xalxe's question!



Xalxe, you have (expired on 2014-06-07 06:42:42) to answer the question in-thread. You are not able to pass.

[Xalxe]

A. Dmitry Davidoff

[DeasVail]

Despite being correct, Xalxe answered after the deadline, and has therefore been eliminated. (Really bad luck, man )



This knocks out the top value of $500,000 and means that PrivateI will be answering the new $32,000 question.

[Xalxe]

Holy crap that was a total guess

[DeasVail]

This question will be formatted differently from those previously.

A ranking of Australia's deadliest animals was developed by the Australian Museum in Sydney, with animals rated out of 10 based on the threat they pose, combined with the likelihood of encountering one. Which of the following correctly displays an animal rated 10/10, 9/10, 8/10 and 7/10, in that order? (Images are taken from Wikipedia)

A.

B.

C.

D.

[DeasVail]

(Note that 10/10 indicates more deadly than 9/10 etc.)

[PrivateI]

I don't like this at all. Let me try to rationalize this.

I know from Marine Bio that I'm looking at a box jellyfish, which is incredibly venomous if I remember correctly. Thus, it would be more dangerous than the croc. However, that doesn't help because the croc comes after the jellyfish every single time. Now, the trouble comes because I have no idea what the obscure creature is on the ocean floor. But, I do see a bee. It doesn't appear to be a special bee. But regular bees are dangerous as well...

Wait, if they're going by most deaths caused, that makes it easier. So, Australians like to swim. That's cool and all, but it makes them get eaten by box jellyfish. Poor Australians...Let's say that the jellyfish is number one. I can see it being like the unknown predator of the seas. Even though it's not a predator. So, it's narrowed down to A or B. Now, what looks like an octopus or something is tripping me up. I know that octopi don't often live THAT close to the surface, but Australia is in like this weird dimension where crazy stuff happens. But hundreds of thousands of people are rushed to the hospital each year because of bee stings. I don't think Australians do more than pierce the surface of the water. Like, they dip their toes in, get stung by a box jellyfish, die, then are pulled out. If we put the bee in front of the octopus, then the bee truly is the most important creature, because I suppose the answer must be

B

I feel as though I'll absolutely need that pass later, so I'll accept that there are inherent flaws in my logic and hope for the best.

[Cheery Dog]

I believe it's a Blue Ring Octopus. (and probably a European wasp?)

[DeasVail]

With an answer of Box Jellyfish, Honey Bee, Saltwater Crocodile and Blue-ringed Octopus, PrivateI is correct (and now able to navigate his way through the Australian wilderness).
