Beams don't support a roof -- rafters do. Beams support a floor (or if you're looking from below, a ceiling). Good quiz, though.

Beams absolutely, 120% do support roofs: https://www.thebeamguy.com/the-roof-beam .

Here's a source from the UK too, just in case you don't like the .com version: https://www.roofingsuperstore.co.uk/help-and-advice/product-guides/flat-roofing/whats-the-difference-between-a-beam-and-a-joist/ .

In fact, rafter as just one type of beam: https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/rafter

Control would also be a plausible answer to the sixth question, according to more than one online thesaurus.

Ok good point.. (or points..) but not curvy makes me straight go to er well .. straight!

Tricky to only use a few words though. I would have said no variation in height, but that might be a bit long. or 1-dimensional but that might make people think of all sorts of other things. Still feels better than not curvy though, but that is just my opinion.

Just out of curiosity, how would the container be called if it's not rectangular? Like a round one?

Only missed the rocks one, had 2:20 to stare at it.. got the rest in one go apart from perjury/recumbent (English isn't my native tongue so hard to think hard to know what either word meant) but I would never have gotten it, I do know it as a place to get rocks, but was not aware of the hunter's prey meaning.
