In the end, the participant with the most correct answers is crowned the winner. In case of a tie, the 14^th question serves as a tie-breaker (closest to the real answer wins).

Question Quest #6 - Finish the Sentences (Results)

The 6th version of the Question Quests is now over, and the results are here This time you were asked to finish a number of sentences in an as funny way as possible. And believe me, I really enjoyed reading all the entries. But unfortunately, there can only be one winner per question. So here are the selected ones and the author of each:

Question Quest #6 - Finish the Sentences

Welcome to the 6th Question Quest! I’ve always tried to be creative when making up the famous Question Quests, but this time it’s your time to be creative!

Below are 10 unfinished sentences, more or less related to TrackMania, and your job is to make them complete by coming up with funny endings for them. And note the word funny! For each sentence, the funniest answer will be considered the winning one, and in the end, the player with the most “wins” is the winner of the entire QQ. And remember, I (Jozii) am the judge, so what are you waiting for, entertain me!

Question Quest - General Questions

The plan was to showcase a few more underrated tracks today (see this list) like we’ve done the past few weeks, but due to the lack of time to test tracks this week, you get something else instead: A new Question Quest

Question Quest - Environmental Issues Results

A few days ago a fourth version of the popular Question Quests was started - Environmental Issues. This QQ as now ended, and this post is dedicated to the announcement of the results.

The task of the QQ was to match the correct given description with the corresponding environment. This appeared to be easy, but in fact many did make various mistakes. However, many also did very good, and in the end it all comes down to the tie-breaker question.

Question Quest - Environmental Issues

We return once again with a new Question Quest (the 4th one), and hopefully this one will be just as popular as any of the previous ones

The task this time: Match the correct environment with the correct description!

Environmental Issues

The Environments:

• Desert
• Rally
• Alpine
• Island
• Bay
• Coast
• Stadium

The Descriptions:

1. In this environment you’ll be taken on rides in a strange mix of casual holiday-style relaxed racing (although as a tourist, of course you have to be extremely fast to see as much as possible) to difficult and “do-as-I-say” military exercises.

2. There’s nothing like a hot summer evening for an American, cruising through the open landscape towards the sunset. The asphalt is still too warm to step on, but the evening wind is cool, and there’s a lovely smell of burned rubber in the air. Watch out though, or you might have to pull a few splinters out of your fingers.

3. “The harbor? Just turn left by that tall building, drive through the park, take the first ramp to the right, and finally turn left after the third roof jump. You simply can’t miss it!”

4. 3-2-1 RACE!

5. This environment can make you feel like an emperor (if you’re good enough) or like a small, unsuspecting European victim - it all depends on whether you’re good at negotiating or not.

6. While not the fastest, the acceleration of your professional looking vehicle is among the best. Bumpy rides through (old fashioned) scenery, great wallrides (literally) and roads that gives the feeling of being off-track.

7. If you’re new, this is most likely going to be your most hated environment, but once you’ve mastered it, you are sure to love it. Speed is not lacking - you just have to learn how to maintain it!

This shouldn’t be too hard, so to find a winner even if a tie is reached, here’s a tie-breaker question:

• What is the current record of a one-time donation of coppers to the TMU Blog (donations made after this post are not counted)?

For each correct answer you provide, you earn 10 coppers. If you also get the tie-breaker question correct (even if it’s not required to determine a winner), you earn an additional 150 coppers.

Send in your answers (the seven environments and the number of their matching description + an answer to the tie-breaker question) to Jozii@pp.inet.fi.

Deadline: Friday 23rd (only two days).

The results of the contest will be posted on Saturday. Have fun
