Even after I figured out the logic, the answer still took a while, because in england we don’t follow through on the tune after P. That’s because Z (pronounced Zed) DOES NOT RHYME WITH G/P/V!

I don’t understand how Z being pronounced differently would change anything in regards to this puzzle.

I think it’s Doha. I remember learning about Education City and thought it was pretty neat.

Puzzle, I hope you knew that Twisted is on the other team and is full of crap when you answered that.

Adeeb – I feel that any source that says Rabbit is just someone lumping the two together since they’re similar animals. I mean, the Latin word is something along the lines of “Pertaining to hares” You could have a billion sources citing that 2+2=5. Doesn’t make it right.

Holy formatting there Jask

For ease:

Team 1: 35 points Team 5: 46 points

What’s the most southerly city; Toronto, Seattle, Budapest or Bordeaux?

Puzzledan: Seattle is near the 49th parallel and Toronto is on the 48th (Not sure but definitely more south). I hope you or Woon know your European cities well.

Don’t know about the Aden part aside from some plate tectonics stuff, but I know Yemen is the southernmost part and it’s part of the growing Gulf of Aden so I’d assume it was once called such.

They get the better subjects for trivia and now multiple choice questions? Hardly fair!

Feh. How come they got the easier subjects! Oh well, at least I can do Geo somewhat competently.

I think it’s Mount Kosciuzko, but I don’t remember if any of the higher mountains were actually in Australia or around the actual landmass.

I’d like to select Woon, but I’m unsure of his activity since he hasn’t posted in the thread for awhile. I suppose if he doesn’t make an appearance before the deadline I’ll step up instead.

Oh man. I actually know this one: Nessy (Loch Ness Monster)

I suppose splitting it 33/34 of a point for me and 1/34 for Bluji would be fair since that’s how many words we each added in.

I have never seen an M in a circle in reference to a circuit diagram. The only thing I could think of that could possibly make sense is a Magnet or something Magnetized but I would not consider an M with a circle the usual way of drawing it.

How long do we have to answer these? I always seem to be busy on the days I actually need to answer

Sorry to my team

Can I get like a 12 hour extension or a PM so I could answer from my phone or something?

How can “ten times two add minus two minus six” be 16?

ten times two 10 * 2 = 20
add minus two 20 + -2 = 22
minus six 22 – 6 = 16

10×2 = 20
20+(-2)-6 = 12

I think I should get the half point for having the only correct solution thus far

You should just spend some free time making a huge stockpile of puzzles so you could still post them even when you’re too busy

But I wouldn’t be able to post it at the right time.

I don’t understand. You have enough time to say

Busy again, sorry :’(

at the right time. So why wouldn’t you have enough time to just copy and paste a puzzle if you stockpile em up beforehand?

I’d like to dub this “GameKultist Attitude”

I’m assuming the miners are the dwarves, so 7.

I didn’t realize I had to answer that, but I didn’t know the answer anyways.

Unless I’m misunderstanding the question, there’s going to be a huge amount. I’ll take a random guess and say something like 2 × 8 × 24

Or 2 x Hok’s answer of 296

I can add in The Walking Dead, The Big Bang Theory, what I think might be The X Files and knowing Samster Dr. Who
