1. Mount Meru is a legendary mountain prominent in at least three major religions established in what country?
What country had at least 3 major religions established there? Let's go with India
2. The Battle of Mohács took place in what modern-day country?
Let's take a guess that it's something Native American. How about Peru
2. What element gets its chemical symbol from its Latin name, hydrargyrum?
Hydra- means water or liquid right? Mercury?
4. Pong, Kong, and Chow are sets of tiles in what game?
Pretty sure it's Mah-Jongg (less certain about the spelling)
