Anyone who believes ridiculous claims that they have a high IQ by recognizing 1980s celebrities on an ad link or believes a list of Presidents' IQs...from before tests existed...falls on the low end of the deviation.

Also garantung, gendang, gulintang and gung-gong apparently, and probably more. Not suggesting type-ins, was just curious as the world of percussion instruments is vast.

There are three classifications between "vulnerable" and "extinct" ("endangered", "critically endangered" and "extinct in the wild"), so it might be worth accepting the other two.

Yep, I tried both the other two before I thought to try just 'endangered'.

Yes, this. I tried critically endangered because I remembered that classification. A type-in would be nice.

"People with a high one will be more likely to know that the median is 100 and the

standard deviation is 15."

This should be "IQ". It's no longer calculated as a "quotient".

For the corsage-question, I tried cotton, silk and nylon.

White bear is commonly used for Polar Bear. In fact, it is Polar in English mainly, and White in most other languages. Should be accepted as an answer.

Never heard white bear used personally, is it actually common?, or just in certain regions? Of course if it is only used colloquially besides an official polar bear, I (as a non-native English speaker) am less likely to have heard the term. (Then again I do know a lot of other colloquialisms. The question is I guess, what would David Attenborough say :))

Anyway a form of "white bear" does indeed seem to be the name for polar bear in many languages, so is ice bear though.

The answer to the tea interval is just 'cricket' or possibly 'red-ball cricket'. Tea intervals aren't unique to Test cricket.
