The structure above was built in the 7th century BCE by two legendary architects, Trophonios and Agamedes. Is it:

A. The Palace of Knossos on Crete
B. The Temple of Apollo at Delphi
C. The Pillars of Hercules
D. The Colosseum of Rome

Trivia aside, color me curious: what's the most unusual place or thing you've seen thus far in your "hallucinomemories"? That you're willing to tell someone about, of course — I'm not seeking to pressure anyone into revealing secrets they wouldn't be willing to share with the class.

(Or, I suppose, if you're playing along with those bingo cards we were given and need to share something with a stranger, responding to something like this would certainly qualify, wouldn't it?)

Exactly like that? No, this is the first Retrospec-wide game I know of.
But there was a beauty pageant.
The winner would "remember."

Presumably.
I didn't win.

I opted to not participate.
Beauty contests aren't exactly my style.
I did make an illfated entry into the cross dressing competition, but that was just a mistake.
