"What is the only way to destroy a diamond?"

there are many ways to destroy a diamond. diamonds can crack if hit at just the right/wrong angle. and while intense heat (given as the correct answer) will indeed destroy one, a nucular bomb (another given answer) also produces intense heat. if 'destroy' is intended to mean something more specific than fractured, then the question should say so. i'm quite confident that had i given my wife a fractured diamond and insisted it wasn't destroyed, i'd still be single. and yes, i realize that proper cutting is a form of fracturing, but if we're using common sense here, then broken is destroyed unless explicitly defined differently.

FriendlyCheese, music is made from a conch (shell) by pursing lips like with a trumpet (brass family). woodwind instruments have reeds which a shell does not. the family categorization comes from how the sounds is produced rather than the material the instrument is made out of (e.g. a saxophone is made of brass and uses a reed, so it's a woodwind like a clarinet).

you may be right about dynamo. :| i don't have the blizzard answers in front of me, but wasn't one snow and wind, and another was snow, wind and cold?

what is the definition of blizzard?

all sources specify wind and snow, but not all indicate temperature (as the 'correct' answer requires). if temperature is part of some narrower definition, then the question should specify where that definition comes from.

"who invented the dynamo?"

most sources seem to indicate farady who's not listed as an answer.

"Which country did not come under German rule during World War II?"

"Where did the Rebel Alliance establish their base after the destruction of the first Death Star?"

i'm embarrassed to admit that i know the answer to this, but it's pretty much the definition of a question for a specialized group. this is not a general question on the overall plot of the movie; it's narrow trivia.

"What U.S. city is best know for dyeing their river green to celebrate St. Patrick's Day?"

really, i don't think that's what the city is best known for: deep dish pizza, organized crime, baseball ineptness, the hancock building and the (formerly) sears tower, second city, mike ditka, michael jordan, oprah and obama all seem more significant. poor grammar makes this question confusing and wrong. "Which U.S. city is mostly closely associated with dyeing their river green to celebrate St. Patrick's Day?" would be far more clear.

Which answer most accurately defines sobriquet?
