a) Guns
b) Dogs
c) Bread
d) Land mines
e) Phone books

ANSWERS:

C) Chinese still aren't into bread. Try again.

D) Correct. Long coated, hatted men, known as Land Mine Diggers, would sneak out to other villages to steal land mines. These desperate men were both revered and feared for their courage. As guns and artillery were very scarce, landmines became a primary source of protection for a village. Mine fields were mapped out in the villagers' heads, and if invaded they would take to the fields and hide in the safe areas.

e) Wrong, let your fingers do the walking to a more correct answer.
