2. What popular olive cultivar gets its name from the Spanish for “little apple”?
3. The compound with the formula NH₄NO₃ is found in fertilizers and explosives, and is better known by what chemical name?
4. In 1981, video game designer John Newcomer created the game “Joust,” because he wanted to make a flying game that wasn't about spaceships. Ironically, he chose to mount his player on an animal that doesn't actually fly. What animal was it?
5. What brand of cigars features a 1662 Rembrandt painting in its packaging?
