Round 3 with answers:


7. What would you have to do to witness the maillard reaction? Toast bread.

Hate to be picky - but that is most definitely NOT the right answer. Toasting bread is only one example of when you would see the maillard reaction.


The Maillard reaction (/maɪˈjɑːr/ my-YAR; French: [majaʁ]) is a chemical reaction between amino acids and reducing sugars that gives browned food its distinctive flavor. Seared steaks, fried dumplings, cookies and other kinds of biscuits, breads, toasted marshmallows, and many other foods undergo this reaction.

Maillard reaction - Wikipedia.

I'm certainly not a movie buff.

13. I'm going to make him an offer he can't refuse. Godfather I II or III

14. I mean funny like a clown? I amuse you? Goodfellas.

15. The greatest trick the Devil ever played was convincing the world he didn’t exist. Devil's Advocate, but heard it repeated in another movie since then.

17. I ate his liver with some fava beans and a nice Chianti. Silence of the lambs.

Now that's music.


Especially if wanting to make the Chinese neighbours, that probably aren't familiar with the nuances, screams and sexual samples of Black Metal, a bit nervous of you.

19. You're going to need a bigger boat. Blow. But I thought it was 'We're'.

The greatest trick the Devil ever played was convincing the world he didn’t exist.

Kevin Spacey (Verbal Kint) / The Usual Suspects.

I must watch that again, brilliant flick.
