A minute has passed. A point is awarded to the spectators.

So now you're just playing as a spectator, huh? x) You didn't even try to help...

Pack animals?

So, Tox, did I answer correctly?

Answer: Fingerprints.

Correct answer: Papillary lines.

Comment: The project aims to compile biometric data for each of India's more than one billion residents. Due to hard labor, many farmers have effectively worn away the fingerprint patterns on their fingers.

Okay, let's try something easier...

In Jean-Jacques Annaud's film, priests in the 20th century devise a way to demonstrate the power of God to African tribes. The natives had never encountered X before, so some of them collapse. Later, the priest demonstrates a miracle, raising his hands to the sky for a moment to make it more convincing. Name X.

Answer: Fingerprints.

Correct: Papillary lines.

Ugh, how beautiful!
But I must say that, yes, the lack of a normal real-time discussion makes the task quite difficult. It's impossible to have a proper brainstorming session in a forum format.

Next, the priest demonstrates a miracle, which, for greater persuasiveness, could involve raising his hands to the sky for a second.

An association with Moses. Parting the sea or conjuring mana from the sky, something like that. However, there should be some kind of semantic sequence here – first, X (masculine gender, right, Toxic? Or is it not necessarily?), then this miracle. Before mana, in terms of semantic sequence, there could be water from a stone (which would fit, like a water pipe or something similar, but conjuring mana from the sky is a difficult task). Before parting the water, there could be the plagues of Egypt (but it's unlikely that mass killings of African firstborns or locusts specifically targeting Africa occurred in the twentieth century).
Maybe I'm still wrong, and it's not about that... Another idea that comes to mind is military victories (there's a direct connection with raising hands to the sky, if we remember Moses again), but something doesn't quite fit.
Another silly option: the natives were shown electricity, for example, and they fall from the shock (but that's too cruel). Then the miracle that follows is the "resurrection" of the unfortunate shocked natives (shock them with electricity again?).

Probably an eclipse.

Alcohol. x)

It must have been an eclipse.

Oh, yes, I think that's right, Kosh. First, it was eclipsed, and then, hop – the priest brought the Sun back...

I find that unlikely, considering that eclipses are quite noticeable and not that rare. Although, of course, movies often feature all sorts of nonsense.

(masculine, right, Toksi? Or is it not mandatory?)

Yes, masculine.

No, there isn't a correct answer yet. =)

I find this unlikely, considering that eclipses are quite noticeable and not that rare.

They are rare enough that one might not see them for two or three generations (if the eclipse is total). For people without writing, that's enough.

No, there isn't a correct answer yet. =)

Hmm...

Yes, male.

Heh, then an eclipse doesn't fit the gender.

Hmm... IX is alcohol (or wine, perhaps). I don't know what kind of miracle this is, but it's probably related to multiplying loaves (although I don't know how to implement something like that) or something similar. Or maybe they just sobered them up...
Okay, after further consideration, I don't like this option as much anymore; the situation with the miracle is too unclear. But I'll still write it down.

Dude, I already wrote about alcohol.

The main thing is, I laughed at the joke, and then I repeated it -_-
Okay, let's think.
