P.D: Nice aproach in the 8 thing Mike, there must be something hidden there. keep the good work up! good luck!

Thanks agusl. I can almost see Pavel typing his hints with a big grin on his face, knowing full well his Mutix skis are safe in his basement ski storage locker. He really is enjoying this. He loves to study people and how they think. And with the snapping fingers demo I first thought the person was learning how to listen, perhaps they are learning as the pointing becomes more definite. They are expecting a sound for sure and expecting they must react. But now I see how his meaning was to show us that the answer is right in front of us and we will jump in shock of how simple it is. Yeah, Pavel is loving this. (Judy and I did the experiment.)

Good luck to you too and the others. And Rossignol is happy for this quizz too. Look at the "free" advertising they have received thanks to Pavel's great quizz. I wonder how many of the 1425 views to this thread in the past two weeks have promtpted people to look up the Mutix ski. Many I expect.

Mike :-)

The end of the "suffering" is near.

All candidates must submit 5 numbers by Thursday!

Mike really the skis are for grabs, I really am surprised that you did not get it ( of all people that checks everything), you the engineer that re-calculates and looks at all the options, you the man that once showed me........... ( with pride in your face)!

It really is in front of all your faces!!!

PS
I even had a phone call from a skier that wanted to tell me the answers right away! You must post all answers so that others will witness "correct" items!


No Rossignol did not "donate" skis for this quiz. They are the "left-over" stock from testing program!

Wish you all the very best luck!

Don't worry Mike, I am still here. :)

No, I am not signed up for any board courses. That is one thing I found a little unusual - I only boarded twice this year, yet Pavel made a point of mentioning it. I wonder why???? I doubt if my resort will even have any snow in November. I will probably be signing up as a mountain host again this year so I can ski free, but I don't know what else I will be doing! Dreaming about the first cold snap?

Some of the issues I was having on the board were: needing to initiate turns with my body, FALLING (a lot!), lack of trust, not able to keep my weight forward.

I was thinking about buying a board. . . But Pavel would have to have read my mind to know that! ;)

Maybe I will try to put a list together.

Dshenberger, what is your area?

Suffering :?: What Suffering... there is no suffering here :!: Is there :?:

I didn't think so ... and that is because we are skiers :!: We take on a challenge with a smile on our faces :!: And if that challenge isn't on a "dangerous" steep slope then where better to have a challenge than with a Pavel Quizz :?: Don't you all agree with me guys? Well maybe Ellistine is wavering a bit ... but just a bit.

I had forgotten that I had showed Pavel the self propelled hydraulic boat hoist I had design and built for a local marina. It was a fun project and at times even more frustrating than this quizz may have been to some. But the result of seeing a 40 foot yacht being hoisted from the water and driven to its winter cradle made the effort all worth it. The reward, - the emotional one. Just like when we all learn the final number.

As far as the quizz goes, my amo is starting to run "dangerously" low. And with each reply from Pavel I can see the reply I deleted was soooo close. I must step back and "re-assess" the clues once more. No, I din't mean that Rossignol donated the skis but they are like my bouncing pellets; in that they have received some attention due to the quizz. They should thank you Pavel just like the lucky winner will.

So do you all think what I'm thinking ??? I thought you may be , beacuse we are learning about Pavel as we go through this exercise. We are "learning" how to identify hints more and more easily. Do any of you see the magic number presented in the last post (aka Hint) from our quizzmaster?

One of the magic numbers must be Pavel's telephone number !!! (And I know the number ... fear not Pavel - I will keep it a secret.- It may just be worth a pair of Mutix skis) :wink:

Mike

PS; Pavel, I can imagine you can "see" all the charts I have spread over my desk related to the quizz ... yes I'm "re-calculating" everything! The prize is worth it - physically and emotionally ... and especially financially :!: :wink:

PPS: If any of you have the need for a boat hoist design for a marina ... send me a message !!! :wink:

test reply

Receiving loud and clear!

Unlike some of your other messages in this thread :wink:

That tells me another potential magic number Dean!!!!!

November also has eight letters and since you boarded twice and he listed November twice then I think something magical and ski related will happen in 2008, and this makes 2008 a magic number. But my problem is I don't know what will happen then other than the beginning of another ski season. (Generally my first day skiing is on New Years Day.) I had 2008 on my potential list and these clues are a bit more than by happen-chance in my grasping state. When you said you boarded only twice, a shiver went down my spine. :shock:

But you have a plan for November which will keep you going for 2008 ... you are planning for your future needs. What's magical for you is unique just as all our skis are to each of us. D E E E E P !!!!

Mike

PS: You've played this long so you should put a list together. It's more fun having a bunch of learning skiers to play with. And Ellistine is back in it too

:D
