SKI Racing Glove Questions Are IN!!!! (sleepless nights are coming)

1. Its an old piece of Lego from the 70s which you cant use anymore because of the sloping single holes on the outside. You used to be able to connect them to the old Lego sets.

2. This is a set of stocks once used by Professor Yaffle on Bagpus, when Charlie Mouse was particularly badly behaved when Emily brought home a condom, and Charlie Mouse thought it was a mouse raincoat.

3. None of them have been used by Basil Brush.

4. He put a Seat engine on them to make them go faster (system Porsche - you see it written on old Seat Ibiza's). Jeez, they could move....

5. I know this one: Vialattea and The Milky Way :D

6. To get you up the mountain.

7. X is the amount of beer you should drink in a week at home, but divided by 2 is the amount of beer you should drink whilst having some apres ski. Therefore, half the normal amount of beer is Y, and this is important because if you exceed Y, you are buggered for the next days skiing. This is not recommended, except of course on the day of arrival in resort when no one cares about anything except the next drink.

8. Its the padlock combination number to the ski locker I used in Verbier in March, and without it I couldnt get my skis out.

9. Ipod, Mobile Phone, Red Salopettes

10. I reckon that was that mad night you were on about when all those people turned up on that wild goose chase and had such a great time at that lovely resort that you won't tell us the name of. It had something to do with consuming ridiculous amounts of alcohol I believe. Surprisingly.



What do I win?

Oh no you have beaten me thats exactly the same answers I was going to give :lol:

Gordieski,
Welcome to the wonderful world of skiing.

Welcome now to the world of real skiers who are so fanatic that in the Summer they do these crazy mind twisting quizzes just to "keep skiing alive" in the mind!

Also congratulations for being the first person to have tried to answer all the questions.
Your score is 1/10 ,,however you did get some answers very close to "target"

You have also discovered the "weaknesses" of Google and all internet search engines! You have to know what to ask! In other words you must have some "basic knowledge" of the subject matter! The first two items Google can not yet "compute" them ,,unless you work for CIA or such agencies!

The numbers are not numbers! It is the relationship and order which is meaningful to all "knowledgeable" skiers! I know that at least Mike, Ellistine and even Jan are going to slap themselves on the forehead if they do not get this item! They just have to think and get away from Google!

Great first try Gordie!

As always I make silly mistakes that may cause 'problems" so please accept this "clarification.
I stated, "the numbers are not numbers......"

What I meant to state is, "The numbers IN THEMSELVES are not that important. It is their relationship to each other and their placement or order that is important" That will give away the answer!

It is that knowledge of the order and the relationships which separates the "real skier fanatic" from the weekend skier!

Once you get it,,,,you will all say, """"ha,,,,, yes yes so easy,,so clear"!!!

Tony H,

Tony, Tony, Tony,,,,I have so much to tell you! Do you have a "minute"?

As I read your answers I tried to "project" who you are, what you looked like..and how you ski!!!

Your answers were, "entertaining". imaginative, creative and unique! They provided me ( and I am sure many other readers) much "laugther"!
Please keep up imaginative messages!

Now for the bad news!
0/10 score!

However, I can not let this type of imaginative responce go by without some form of recognition,,,,so unless we get better "imaginative answers" Tony I will be sending you a "special" prize! Just send me via your PM your address etc,,,, You will wear it with pride as you ski! When other skiers ask you how you got this "unique" item,,,you can say,,,,,,,,,

Thanks for all answers!

RoseR,
Were you seated close to TonyH to get exact answers?

Did you read his mind?

Since you have not "officialy" posted any answers, you can still win gloves OR that special creative, imaginative prize!

Go for it!

Sleepless nights indeed .... and not just form this set of questions. It has been so hot and humid at night here that the nights are sleepless.

This is a difficult set of questions and I thought the Lego block answer was pretty good :!: It wouldn't be the first time that Pavel had adapted something complete unrelated to skiing into being a main tool for tuning or buckle fastening.

I too haven't yet given proper consideration to coming up with a set of answers ... and now I see that Pavel says we will be once more slapping our foreheads :!: :!: . But Pavel, the headaches are just about gone from the forehead slapping from the last time.

One thing that came to mind when reading the questions was the common use of layered kevlar in some ski bases as with some sports car construction. (Just a guess.)

But numbers have come back to bite us again. Hmmmmm ... and not on google??? I'm in trouble then :cry:

I must settle down and give some serious thought to what Lego could be used for in skiing.... :roll:

Mike :wink:

Woohoo! I got an answer right! :lol:

At least now I can start working again! (That is unless there is another ski quiz that distracts me!) .....so if Tony got 0 out of 10, then does that mean that Basil Brush HAS used a stealth bomber, F1 car and modern skis?!! :wink:

Thanks for the very welcome distraction though! :D
