8 for me too, and yes the 'placenta' which the seeds are embedded in is the hottest part of a chilli.

That's right.

Placenta?

Pistil or stigma surely?

It's called the placenta, and is the soft internal flesh in which the seeds are embedded. Pistil and stigma are parts of flowers, not fruits. If I remember my high school biology correctly.

"A 12?" gasped Brian. He was having a day like no other, but a 12 out of 15 didn't exactly leave him speechless. "Couldn't you have thought a little harder about the questions?" Snooze rolled their eyes. Brian persisted. "And why are you a they today?" Snooze shrugged. Never much of a talker, Snooze had whittled down interaction to the bare minimum. Brian snorted and walked away on his eight legs. Because dear reader, Brian was a spider.

And that concludes today's thrilling Quiz Tales of the Unexpected.

You could've posted a link snoozey. Now I have to go on over there and fetch it myself. Heavy put upon sigh. Oh well...

Oh bugger. Ten minutes too early. And it's Friday wines too, starting at 3pm.

I guess the quiz will just have to wait...
