Krillion Dive #97 Prompts & Hints

Dive #97 prompts

These are the seven prompts that came up in Dive #97. If you’re replaying it, give each one a try before you read the hint underneath.

1. Name something sold in stick form (like deodorant; things on a stick don’t count).

   Hint: The example rules out food on a stick, so think of products that are sticks by design — lip care, glue, butter, incense and the things in a makeup bag. Everyday drugstore items are the common picks; trade tools and niche cosmetics are where the rare answers hide.

2. Name a food made by mashing or puréeing (like guacamole)

   Hint: Start with the dips and spreads — avocado, chickpeas, potatoes — then push into baby food, sauces and side dishes. Anything deliberately smooth counts, and the classic party dips are the crowded end.

3. Name a country with the letter D in its name

   Hint: D shows up in country names more often than people expect — scan Europe, Africa, Asia and the Middle East, plus a few island states. Don't stop at the first one or two; the less famous names carry the points.

4. Name a device made to blow air

   Hint: Walk around a house — cooling, drying, heating, inflating — and the list nearly writes itself. Fans of every size are the obvious picks; the rare answers are the specialised tools that only move air as a side job.

5. Name a mammal smaller than a house cat

   Hint: A house cat weighs roughly four to five kilos, so the bar is low but real. Rodents, shrews, bats and small mustelids all fit — and be careful with animals that only look tiny, because plenty of them outweigh a cat.

6. Name an internet service provider

   Hint: Think of whoever bills for the connection each month — the big national carriers first, then cable companies and mobile networks. Because the market is different in every country, local and regional ISPs are where the rare points sit.

7. Name something that has a saddle (like a bicycle)

   Hint: The bicycle example points at anything ridden — horses and other animals, motorbikes, gym machines. The everyday rides are the common answers; the clever picks are the things nobody thinks of as being ridden.
