This is the second in a four part PEEHS series.

Reminder, if you haven’t already, that you can put a country name in the subject line of your entry PM to nominate a country to be part of PEEHS 4

If you missed PEEHS 1 then you can still enter this one.

If you're new to PEEHS then here's how it works:

You need to come up with an answer to each of the questions below without any form of research. You get 1 point for a correct answer and 1 additional point for each person who gave the same answer as you. Any incorrect answer scores 1.5x the score of the most popular answer. Lowest score wins.

tl;dr - give me the most obscure correct answer that you know for each question.
