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?)

A?

The crater rim of Mt. Vesuvius, for place. A very strange creature that I really can't describe, otherwise.

B.

A lighthouse, alone on an island, dark despite the storm raging outside it.

B. The reward for their labor was somewhat on the morbid side, if I'm recalling correctly.

As for the memory element of it, apparently I spent time in the rainforests of South America at one point.

It's B.
A perfect replica of the Hagia Sophia under the real Hagia Sophia.

C?
I know very little about Ancient Greek architecture.

Strangest thing I've seen is a city on the the bottom of the sea.

[ Emil's really only here to recruit members for his trivia team and it seems like Carmen Sandiego might be the geography wiz they need ]

How come the other cities are listed but not for C? It's definitely not Rome or Crete!

It's B.

I apparently had a prior life in a rural Japanese town.

Can't say I've heard of the Palace of Knossos, but I've definitely seen a picture of those pillars in a history book at some point, so I'm going to guess B.

I'm probably interpreting 'unusual' in a different manner than you, but Other-Me is a cop and he had the unfortunate duty of investigating the murder of a woman he'd only recently met. So, murder scene.

This is a million years late because I didn't see it.

[Everyone else has answered. So he'll just give his memories.]

I've seen some guy and remembered a song, but that's about it. Everyone else seems to be having more than me. I don't know why.

I'm a little late for the geography quiz, but I'm curious. Is it so common to hallucinate other places? I can't say I have.
