Since Starbucks is named after the first mate in Moby Dick, I'd expect there's a sail-thru Starbucks somewhere. Sure enough, there's one in Aruba.

50K: Not A or C. Chocolate just not magnetic. Go for B.

100K: Not Cuba or Mexico. 50/50. May need +1

Heaviest regulation bowling ball is 16 pounds, I believe. I imagine the shot put and hammer are roughly the same weight as each other. So if I remember my Winter Olympics correctly, the curling stone is around 40 pounds. I'll go with that.

How does rubbing chocolate on the bottom of a can make it shiny? I'd probably be burning lifelines here.
