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?

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!

That extra space between 13 and +1 confuses me every effing time!
Yes, it is me. No, I'm not back at racing (for now...)

11. Number of Belgian enclaves (=pieces of land totally surrounded by foreign territory) within the area of the Netherlands - 22 (they're extremely small, I've never seen a printed map showing more than one... see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baarle-Hertog)

Good job Chulk - highest score ever! ?

And yay! I hold the record for most Zakstunts wins by a 5,00s+ margin  :D
But we can't be quite sure.


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  :D

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

629.09 km

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 :(

I think I got 7 on a previous round... I'll bring you questions next weekend (or Easter weekend at the latest)
Yes, it is me. No, I'm not back at racing (for now...)

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! ;D 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...  ::)

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).

Come on Chulk, it is your turn.

I could access Zakstunts just now, so no question were posted for obvious reasons. I'll post them during this week (I'll try to think of 3/4 a day in order to have them before the weekend)

Yeah, sorry. I've been busy. This weekend, I promise!
