Estimation game

[Chulk]

Only two days to the deadline! I got answers from two pipsqueaks on the day when I posted the questions, then came a long silence. A third set of answers landed in my inbox today. Still waiting for more!

Sorry!! I'll send them tonight (can't google the answers properly at work)

Google breakdown?

[Chulk]

Sent!

[Duplode]

Sent too.

[Usrin]

I'll have time for the evaluation on Monday, so during the weekend you can still send answers. Bonzai Joe? Alan Rotoi? Friker? Maybe vamologocomisso?

Or Csillag Baca!

The evaluation is done, but I've just noticed that Chulk didn't answer the +1 question. Yes, it is the one which surely cannot be googled.

So Chulk, please submit a tip about that famous toilet!

[Chulk]

I've just noticed that Chulk didn't answer the +1 question.

That extra space between 13 and +1 confuses me every effing time!

[BonzaiJoe]

Good job Chulk - highest score ever! ?

And yay! I hold the record for most Zakstunts wins by a 5,00s+ margin 

[Akoss Poo a.k.a. Zorromeister]

Oh, I thought in Hungary you're still living in Szolnok...

Szolnok: 5000

Min. available: 1000, difference between 1000-5000: 4000, average difference 2000
Max. available: 9999, difference between 5000-9999: 4999, average difference 2500

Average of averages: 2250... that is why that was my guess 

Well, quite a bad round for me... it's really a pity for the height of the near hill and the Zugspitze wind...

[zaqrack]

what a crap round for me again!

Mongolia may be big but has less than 3 million inhabitants.
fort he Formula 1 questions I meant season titles, not individual races

[Chulk]

Good job Chulk - highest score ever! ?

I think I got 7 on a previous round... I'll bring you questions next weekend (or Easter weekend at the latest)

[CTG]

Question 12: I had a serious advantage in this question, 'cause I have some (incomplete) stats about ZakStunts and USC race winners / gaps, started a few months ago - so I was pretty sure about 10 +/- 2.

Question 13: LOL! I knew it's more or less correct, but still a very lucky punch.

[Duplode]

Curious results for me - zero points with hardly any awful guesses... 

7. Elevation of the highest point within 100 km of my location in Norway, in metres - 1604 (a peak called Snønuten, 97 km NNE from my place)

452 - Duplode (it seems that European pipsqueaks had an advantage here...)

It was a poor answer anyway - given that your location is a coastal city, reasonable guesses would either be significantly higher (nearby mountain range) or significantly lower (coastal plains).
