[zaqrack]

[CTG]

BÖFF!

I won't give an extra point for böffing!

[Usrin]

It is still worth BÖFFing for my own pleasure.

BÖÖÖÖÖÖÖÖÖÖÖÖÖÖÖÖÖÖFFFF!!!

[CTG]

yes please!

another one: you forgot the "+1" question

[CTG]

I haven't checked the USC corners yet, but the temporary standings from the other 13 questions: 6-3-2-2-0

BJ? JTK? Super Brian? Friker? Anybody else?

[CTG]

Time is up, results in the evening.

About the USC corners: just as expected, the "alibi rights" (small / banked / slow right turns or simply guest tracks) made the result quite balanced compared to your tips.

[Usrin]

Time is up, results in the evening.

The evening has passed! 

[CTG]

I mean tomorrow evening.

[CTG]

I mean tomorrow evening.

Zak: ultimate warning! Send your tip for the +1 question! (he sent only 13 answers)

Finally...


1, How many 100 HUF coins has the same weight as a Bugatti Veyron? (!hint: bimetal coin, diameter ~24 mm, thickness ~2 mm, it contains iron, copper, zinc and nickel)

Bugatti Veyron is 1888 kg, while the 100 HUF coin weights with 8.0 g, so the correct answer: 236,000. To buy a "basic" Veyron, you would need about 15 times more coins...

9, Percentage of left corners on USC 2008/09 tracks (!hint: I hate right corners, but there were also some guest tracks)

Just as expected (and told earlier), the alibi rights... If we understand a 90 degree turn as a corner (so 180 degree turn is two), there were 113 left and 78 right corners in that season. That's 59.2 percent for the left.

10, Length difference between the largest Boeing 747 and Airbus A380 models (not only the value counts, but which one is longer)

Even if Airbus has a huge wingspan compared to the newest Jumbo, Boeing 747-8 is the longest passenger plane on Earth (although Airbus designers are planning to make a 14 m longer version in 10 years, beating even Antonov AN-225's length). According to the Boeing and Airbus specification sheets:

Boeing 747-8 -  length: 76.25 m, wingspan: 68.45 m, tail height: 19.40 m, empty weight: 214.5 tons
Airbus A380F -   length: 72.73 m, wingspan: 79.75 m, tail height: 24.45 m, empty weight: 252.2 tons
Difference: 3.52 m
