C. Protecting your head is more important than protecting your legs.Never be sorry for your little time.
It's not when you get there, it's always the climb.-

Looking at the rankings, I realize I've actually played this game before. I also appear to recognize about ten times more games in the bottom 200 than in the top 200.
I don't know how to feel about that.
I think I'm done with this for now, I might come back to it later, but don't give me another question. I might as well fail this one while I'm here though. C. I know nothing about regular fishing, let alone ice fishing.Never be sorry for your little time.

I'm gonna go with A, though it's somewhat out of my wheelhouse.
Also I call bullshit. Medical tape will result in infection 80% of the time.-

But... none of those choices would *actually* keep your computer secure.
This game looks more like "Guess what people who know nothing about this subject think they know".
*sigh* I guess let's go with B. A is plain silly, and C would simply tell you what came through that line, after the fact.You don't have ambiguity; you haveoptions.-

A is really weird. B... sounds like the most obvious answer, but something tells me C is the best answer.
So I shall go with... wait. C would actually cause more problems than B.
B. Final answerThe Swiftwolf Temple consists of 6 different dungeons: Luck, Cooperation, Risk, Strategy, Deceiving and Might. Click here to learn more about the temple and the dungeons.-

So I think the way this game was created is they took a snippet at random from the book and put it onto a card.
They then had their unpaid intern write the other two choices with no other information and no fact checking.
Processing answers now.-
