WELCOME TO THE MOLE 2 - EPISODE 7

Hello players! And congrats on surviving your sixth execution. This round of The Mole 2 is bound to shake things up. There's a special reward for one person if the group passes this task, but first let me announce the name of the game: TRIVIA TOSSUP.

The sending rules are:
1.) One answer/U2u per person (this means all 9 players will have to send a U2U)
2.) You only have one chance to U2U, this means if you screw up your question you may not correct yourself and the group has automatically failed.

Same as always, really.

Whoever answers number 2, if the group passes, gets the special reward.

[Shaun]

I know #4. I think I know #1 and #5. I have a good idea who #7 is. And I think I know #8.

[Benjamin]

[Rory]

Yeah, you can discuss the answers.

[MarkWaldorf]

[Benjamin]

What you got for answers?


I'm looking into #2 and 5 at the moment.

[Shaun]

Well I'm fairly sure #4 = K2 and Kilimanjaro.

#7 - Madonna?
#8 - Italy and Spain I THINK. but I'm not sure. I thought it was Japan and USA lmao.

errr...

#5 - Home? and I think #1 is something like All Saints Day

[Marc]

Okay well 7 is Madonna me thinks.

[Shaun]

Okay **** that, #4 isn't that.

[Matt]

I've U2U'd Number 2. It's 'lieutenant'.

[Shaun]

Second highest mountain in the world = K2, also known as Savage Mountain...

Lacking a local name, the name Mount Godwin-Austen was suggested, in honour of Henry Godwin-Austen, an early explorer of the area, and while the name was rejected by the Royal Geographical Society[6] it was used on several maps, and continues to be used occasionally.[8][9]

[Shaun]

What's the answer, Matt?

[Rory]

Edited #7 - I miscounted - 11 on the Billboard Top 100.

[Shaun]

Bit selfish if you ask me, but meh.

[Benjamin]

#6 is Patricians and Plebeians

[MarkWaldorf]

I don't think #7 is Madonna.

[Shaun]

#6 - Peasants and Populus? or something like that...

[Benjamin]

#7 Isn't madonna

[Shaun]

Oh OK ben

[Shaun]

#1 = All Saints (Day)

[Rory]

NUMBER 7
Apparently, my facts were wrong about the best-selling female artist (I used a dated website) - but I will provide more facts about the singer:
- One of her singles is the best selling non-charity single of all time.
- most number one singles in the 1980s
- Has had the most #1s that are covers of other songs.

[MarkWaldorf]

I believe #7 is Whitney Houston. But her sales are wrong in that riddle....
