Things Shaped Like a Cone
Another official Krillion prompt (Dive #110): name something shaped like a cone. The shape is simple, so the answer space is huge — which means the crowd floods the obvious four and the game rewards whoever remembers the odd ones.

Rarity-ranked list
Read bottom-up when you study, top-down when you need a safe answer. Tiers: Obvious (everyone types it) → Common → Uncommon → Rare → Gem (one in a krillion).
| Entry | Rarity | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Ice cream cone | Obvious | The crowd's default. |
| Traffic cone | Obvious | Second default. |
| Party hat | Obvious | Third default — after these three, you're already ahead. |
| Funnel | Common | Kitchen drawer answer. |
| Christmas tree | Common | Pine/spruce silhouette. |
| Pinecone | Common | Nature's literal cone. |
| Volcano | Common | Stratovolcanoes are textbook cones. |
| Carrot | Common | Vegetables count if the game accepts food. |
| Megaphone | Uncommon | Cross-domain switch: objects → tools. |
| Witches' hat | Uncommon | Duplicates party hat logic — riskier phrasing. |
| Unicorn horn | Uncommon | Mythology domain switch. |
| Teepee | Uncommon | Conical tent — spelling risk in timed games. |
| Sand dune | Rare | Barchan dunes are nature's perfect cones. |
| Straw hat (conical) | Rare | The Asian conical hat is a textbook cone. |
| Lobster eye | Deep cut | Reflective superposition eyes are conical — genuine deep cut. |
| Windsock | Deep cut | Airport windsocks taper to the harness. |
| Scoop of soft-serve machine nozzle | Deep cut | Domain: kitchen hardware. |

Official examples (Dive #110 results screen)
- Sugarloaf Mountain (Rio de Janeiro) — +100 — Official example on Dive #110's results screen: +100. Geography domain switch is exactly where gems live.
Traps & near-misses
- Ice cream cone, traffic cone, party hat — the three everyone types. Anything after those three beats the crowd.
- 'Cone' in the name (traffic cone, pinecone) is not required — the prompt says shaped like.
- Flat objects (a sheet rolled loosely) don't read as cones — a near-cone can score a miss.
How this helps in the dive
Shape prompts are open-ended, so rarity comes from switching domains: everyone reaches for food and road safety; the points live in geography, music history and Rocketry.
