Firework, Katy Perry's song.
And a better explanation of actual low and high explosives, than I can do:

There's low, there's high, and there's Mythbusters...

How are people with musical taste supposed to know that ?

To be honest, the first time this quiz was up, I instantly noted down "Kingyo Hanabi".
A beautiful song, the name translating to "goldfish fireworks".

Glad I revisited my notes before the quiz went live back then though, and decided to look up other songs related to fireworks.
The hint is actually quite simple. The word that stood out to me the most, was "pyrotechnics", which is a word I mainly hear in relation to fireworks.
I won't lie though: Fireworks wasn't the first thing I googled.

With pyrotechynics i automatically thought about Rammstein.

Oh right, it was today.
Completely forgot about it even though I got all the hints and notes.

Cool.

RIP yet another chance at a perfect streak....

Same here... and failed the 9th, no idea how the hint was related to that xD .

Congrats to the winners .

For me, the timer stopped at 1 minute and 1 second, and then a bit later counted down to 45 really fast. Aside from that, all was fine.

Also, a little joke to match the quiz theme and hint 9:

I don't get this or the hint 9 xD .

Can anyone explain them to me? xD

Weirdly, I got the 9th question right the second time (Foor & Beverages was one of the very few quizzes I took last year). At first I was looking for biblical verses, but then it struck me that 3.14 could stand for a pie* (and hellenic stands for greek). So I looked up common names for greek pies and took the "pie" for an answer (although "bread" was very tempting, too, since pita is also the name for some mediterranean flat bread)

Royally screwed up with Neapolitan Pizza question (took Queen of Spain instead of Italy - I knew she was from Savoy, but didn't know what that meant)

P.S. Question 3 worked just fine on my machine™ (Hamburg)
--------------------------------------
* - "3.14" is a Pi-number and reads literally as "Pie" in English (whereas in other languages it's mostly refered to its original greek pronouncination of "pii", but I guess english speaking folk would prefer a slice of confectionery, instead of urine for mnemonics of their math lessions)
