10 = Fish

No
but if anyone does get the right answer to 10 then I'd be interested to know what it's all about as I don't understand it.

5 = You would eat the fruit from the baobab tree on a small platelet.

2. Screwed? Oy!

5 Rhesus (monkey)

7 Luis Figo

10 5 Oranges

9) Of 28 dominoes, only 15 have a sum of 1 to 6. So it's a 15 to 28 chance of picking a legitimate domino sum. Add to that the one in six dice throw is 28 x 6 = 15 chances in 168 attempts? Which comes down to 5 in 56 or roughly 1 in 11?
