Estimation game

[Usrin]

Question 11 is also not clear. (Does the area include sea surface, or it means only land area?)

Usually it only means land area....

I was 99% sure about it, so I answered the question this way.

[Chulk]

About moon question: I investigated further and you are right. It will be changed (please BJ, remember to send your answer to the new question).
New question is: How many National teams from OFC (Oceania) are affiliated to FIFA?

[Chulk]

BTW, your calculation of the month,year without full moon was correct, BJ. Sorry!

[Chulk]

I'm only missing SuperBrian's tips and BJ's as Usrin question 4. (The one about FIFA and Oceania). I'll give you this week and Results will come first day of March or when I get those tips (whatever happens sooner)

[BonzaiJoe]

It wasn't a calculation, thankfully :-) I've just had the quedtion in a trivia game. I'll send Oceania-answer any day now.

[CTG]

March?!?!?!?

[Chulk]

March?!?!?!?

My bad, I meant February. This means today or tomorrow as late

Who's next?

[Akoss Poo a.k.a. Zorromeister]

The depth of Mariana Trench is 11.034 kms according to my knowledge. I may believe if Usrin says it is 11.035 kms, he is a geologist. But it would be hard to believe the data given by Chulk.

Teeth? Insects don't have teeth... i'm surprised to see anything else than 0 as tips for question 12...

I promised to be next for CTG earlier. I'll write 13+1 questions soon.

Took it from Wikipedia... If Usrin gives us more info, I can change that

[Akoss Poo a.k.a. Zorromeister]

In Hungary, I think it is/was taught that the depth of Mariana Trench is 11 034 metres. As I can see, it is a Soviet measurement in the 50s. Since we were under a Soviet oppression, I'm not surprised to know these. From my childhood up till now, I was a hundred percent sure that 11 034 metres is the exact depth of the Mariana Trench. I really want to read Usrin's point of view.

I made two mistakes during my tipping.

1. The ID number tipping was about the last 4 digits, despite this, I thought that the first digit can't be 0, and because of this, I took the average and gave the tip as 5500. Otherwise, I would have given 5000 +/- 1.

2. About the diameters around the Earth... oh my God, I forgot to multiply my head calculation by two...
