Dive #100! Today's set mixes menus, nature, maths, the gym, retro gaming, rap and arcades.
1. Name a branded fast-food menu item (like the Big Mac).
Hint 1
Burgers are the obvious lane. Breakfast menus, desserts, sides and drinks all count too.
Hint 2
Regional and limited-time items, especially from chains outside the US, are where the deep cuts live.
Our deep-cut ideas (spoilers)
McRib, Ebi Filet-O, McSpicy Paneer, Crunchwrap Supreme, Baconator, Double-Double, Honey Butter Chicken Biscuit
These are our own suggestions, not the official answer list or rarity scores.
2. Name an animal that sprays, spits or squirts something to defend itself.
Hint 1
Mammals, reptiles, insects, arachnids and sea creatures can all qualify.
Hint 2
Think beyond smells and venom: ink, blood, slime, acid and even stomach oil are all on the table.
Our deep-cut ideas (spoilers)
Vinegaroon, Velvet worm, Fulmar, Horned lizard, Bombardier beetle, Sea hare, Nasute termite
These are our own suggestions, not the official answer list or rarity scores.
3. Name a part of a 2D or 3D shape (like a radius).
Hint 1
Go back to school geometry: points, lines, surfaces and measurements.
Hint 2
Circles, regular polygons, triangles and solids each have their own specialist vocabulary.
Our deep-cut ideas (spoilers)
Apothem, Sagitta, Slant height, Chord, Hypotenuse, Lateral face, Incircle
These are our own suggestions, not the official answer list or rarity scores.
4. Name an upper-body gym exercise (strength exercises only; no full-body moves).
Hint 1
Split it by muscle group: chest, back, shoulders, biceps and triceps.
Hint 2
Machines, cables and named variations of classic lifts give you plenty of less obvious options.
Our deep-cut ideas (spoilers)
Pec deck, Face pull, Skull crusher, Preacher curl, Arnold press, Pendlay row, Meadows row, JM press
These are our own suggestions, not the official answer list or rarity scores.
5. Name a Nintendo Wii game.
Hint 1
Start with Nintendo's own franchises, then the sports and party games that sold with the console.
Hint 2
Third-party exclusives and the late-life releases from 2010 to 2012 are much less crowded.
Our deep-cut ideas (spoilers)
Xenoblade Chronicles, The Last Story, Pandora's Tower, Zack & Wiki, Little King's Story, MadWorld, Muramasa: The Demon Blade, Boom Blox
These are our own suggestions, not the official answer list or rarity scores.
6. Name a rap song with over 100 million Spotify streams.
Hint 1
Today's chart hits are the obvious picks. Classics from the 1990s and 2000s have racked up big numbers too.
Hint 2
Think of songs famous from film soundtracks, sports arenas and sampling. A safe classic beats a risky deep cut.
Our deep-cut ideas (spoilers)
It Was a Good Day, Shook Ones Pt. II, Juicy, Ms. Jackson, Ruff Ryders' Anthem, Still D.R.E.
These are our own suggestions, not the official answer list or rarity scores.
7. Name a machine traditionally operated by inserting coins.
Hint 1
Picture arcades, laundromats, seaside piers and old train stations.
Hint 2
Some machines dispense things, some play music or games, and some take your photo, tell your fortune or show you a view.
Our deep-cut ideas (spoilers)
Mutoscope, Penny press, Fortune teller machine, Love tester, Tower viewer, Coin pusher, Kiddie ride
These are our own suggestions, not the official answer list or rarity scores.
