I wonder why she thought "grenades". She's another contestant who burned a lifeline at the very first question (the latest in the long line of contestants doing this).

Good question. Granted, this was question #10, unrandomized, and a WWOQ at that, but I don't see why anyone would think peach pits were an ingredient in explosives. Maybe she saw a similarity in shape between the pits and some very, very small grenades?

Whatever her reasoning, this wasn't the time for a WAG with a lifeline still on the table.

You could use the same charcoal they use in gas masks in making gunpowder.
