Q1. Sports - Name a sport that will be a featured competition at the 2020 Summer Olympics (33 answers; we're looking for sports, and not disciplines or events, so if I had asked about the Winter Olympics, "figure skating," "speed skating," and "ice dancing" would all fall under "skating").

Basing the grading on the Tokyo 2020 website, I had to recategorize a few responses (e.g. swimming and water polo are both categorized under "aquatics" even though they're very different competitions). With that said:

Still no screw-ups. I secretly hoped that someone would go with 57, 87, or maybe 91. An oddity on this one - 3 people said 43, and they happened to be 3 consecutive entries.

[MarkBarrett]

TDs are easy. I picked boxing since its's a sport that is shown on a channel I probably never watch except during the Olympics. I went with 13 since it was my hockey uniform number. Done. I expect my next four responses not to work out as well.

[CasketRomance]

2 reveals in one day? hardcore

Onto Q3 we go!

Q3. Language - My two languages, English and Mandarin, are, by all metrics, the two most commonly spoken languages in the world. Name any OTHER language with at least 70 million speakers worldwide, according to the 2018 edition of Ethnologue. Italian and Vietnamese, with about 68 million each, just missed out on this list. Furthermore, Tagalog probably qualifies for the list, but wasn't included because reasons, so don't pick that one, either (21 answers).

Answers listed below include their rank on the list (with English and Mandarin at 1 and 2, respectively). Full list is here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_l ... f_speakers
