Not sure whether or not to give myself credit for this. I knew it, but I was just introduced to Larry Wilmore a couple days ago, so I wouldn't have known between B and D before then.

2K Frigg, also known as Frigga, is female. But I'm OK with them calling her "a god".


3K educated guess but I go for it

20K lucky for (in this fantasy that I'm playing) me Wired just did a cover article on Dre's business partner

30K I've seen the bills but it was long ago. Has to be unicorn. Remember the song Donkey Riding) (which is actually about donkey engines, that replaced actual donkeys in some cases, on boats) with the line about "lion & the unicorn". Lion is Brit symbol, unicorn Scottish. Waste 50/50 here anyway, but shouldn't.

I knew this one from the old nursery rhyme.

The lion and the unicorn
Were fighting for the crown
The lion beat the unicorn
All around the town.

Some gave them white bread,
And some gave them brown;
Some gave them plum cake
and drummed them out of town.

And when he had beat him out,
He beat him in again;
He beat him three times over,
His power to maintain.
"Elen sila lumenn omentielvo...A star shines on the hour of our meeting."
