Bit of trivia about Tonga -

Pita Taufatofua became famous for carrying his country (Tonga)'s flag for both summer and winter olympics, while not wearing a shirt.

The most famous rugby player of the professional era, Jonah Lomu, famously had Tongan parents.

I didn’t think of that one but should, I heard a podcast on it a while back. And it’s at least roughly in the right part of the world.

I would call it “soft cheating” I had a lot of hits for poetry and TS Eliot. So I browsed his wiki article for a few ideas, and one of them hit.

I also got to TS Eliot, and I knew it was a genre of literature. I also had the Sound and the Fury, and I started cheating there. I would not have gotten this one.

1, 100%. I saw ‘on or near the _______ (on _____)’ and figured that was equator and earth. I wasn’t sure that was the answer but figured it would at least be very helpful to know if that’s what it was.

I got ‘passed down from generation to generation’ and some stuff about domestication of animals and kept going down rabbit holes. North/south are usually common guesses, today I did East/west and didn’t do north/south for a long time.
