Hints
Alright, I will add a hint each day until the final answer arrives.
Hint Day 1
Question 1.'s answer: Yes, it is Olympic Games related :)
Hint Day 2 a.
USA has more gold medals than all other nations combined, i.e. they have more than 11 gold medals. This is not true for silver and bronze medals!
Hint Day 2 b. thanks to @smci
