Surprise
Cold fingers or tickle fingers?
Tickle fingers
Blowing or pattes d'arraignee?
Blowing (In my experience, very few women are partial to spiders )
Summer breeze? Or autumn gales?
Def Summer breeze
Double Bass or Viola?
Double Bass.
Oboe or Cor Anglais
Blowing (In my experience, very few women are partial to spiders )
Summer breeze? Or autumn gales?
Oboe (cor anglais sounds a little too harsh for my liking).
Woodwind or Percussion?
("Pattes d'arraigne" refers to caressing your partners so lightly with your fingertips that you only touch the hairs on the skin; it's supposed to feel like a spider walking over you.)
I'd rather fancy a tympanum beaten with a pair of cor Anglais...
Celeste or glockenspiel?
Glockenspiel because I'm not familiar with a Celeste
Triangle or square?
(A celeste is pretty much a glockenspiel with ahmmers and keys in a piano-type box.)
Triangle
Geometry: spheric or Riemannian?
Again, it's not my field so I'll go with Spheric.
Of a perfect circle: one side or infinite sides?
I don't take sides. Professional detachment, you know. But "ininite sides" doesn't really work, since a side (rather than a point) must have length.
Archimedes' spiral or Fibonacci sequence?
Fibonacci sequence def. (crops up in nature too much - so are we designed?)
Tio - I'll PM you about that side thingy, OK?
Alpha Centauri or the Centre of the Earth?
Designed? No - the Fibonacci series in nature shows up simply because of the nature of growth - after all, Fibonnaci only set up a table based on addition of natural numbers. Archimedes spiral, by the way, does calculate as a Fibonnaci series, but analogically rather than binarily.
Alpha Centauri, or at least reasonably close. - the centre of the Earth is much too dense, even for my mind.
If you had to choose, Aengus:
Silver Apples of the Moon or Golden Apples of the Sun
OK - but is the nature of that growth following designed parameters?
Tio, I think I've unleashed the dog in you...

Silver Apples of the Moon or Golden Apples of the Sun
Golden Apples purely on a materialistic plain.
Kursk Salient or Ardennes Bulge?
Well, there's a real battle for you... I'll go with Kursk
Many Shermans or a few Panzers?
A few Panzers (if the Shermans were mounting the 76MM standard barrel).
Impressionist or Colourist?
Impressionist
Cubism or Abstract Expression?
Abstract Expressionism
Magritte or Dali?
Difficult choice, but Dali's exhuberance wins.
Ingres ou Gericault?
Gericault (had to look it up)
Perfect solutions or inexplicable mysteries?
Alas, there are no perfect solutions
Tales of supernatural mysteries? Or whodunits?
who-dun-it.
Lord Peter or Hercule ?
Hercule, on a whim, say...
Holmes: Rathbone or Brett?
