Hi Frank, You're right... Boring here.. Here is what I can propose : * When someone asks a question : * Maximum of 2 days to give 1 hint. So 1 new hint every 2 days. After 1 week, the answer has to be given, and if not, the closest member (should be quite clear, even if not scientific..) has the right to ask for a new challenge. * When someone has answered a question (has won): * Now, it is after 2 (and not 3) days that the last winner who has not asked yet for a question, and has not transferred his"right" to another Member; will allow everyone else to do ask for the next question. What do you think ? Cheers. Ch. PS : You have 2 days to answer....

Hi Ed, I don't want to believe in this option... Cheers. Ch.

Marc, Please, could you tell us if Nick is right, or wrong, about your question ? We really need to speed the pace of the Quiz, otherwise it will lose its interest for many of us... Thanks. Cheers. Ch. PS : BTW, I have found similar answers to the one proposed by Nick, but nothing else, really... Others, any idea ?

Hi Nick, Welcome to the Quiz!!!! That's nice to see newcomers here. I hope you are right, but, as Ed, I have no clue about it... But, I will take time to investigate... Cheers. Ch.

Thanks Christian. Marc, your turn, now. Cheers. Ch.

That's why I tried to make things easier, to attract more Players... But you fired and shot the target the first... Ch.

Hi Christian, the Order of Honor has got new statutes... Ch. PS : BTW, the latest medal instituted in the USSR was the Medal for 70 Years of the Armed Forces (28 January 1988)...

Hi again, Marc, Perfectly correct !!! Your turn, now!!! Cheers. Ch.

Thanks, Marc, for the historical explanations !!! Cheers. Ch.

Hi Christian, I'm not thinking about this medal / badge.... Cheers. Ch.

It's really easy.... Ch.

Hi Christian, Nice try, but, only one answer is valid... Another try, or anyone else ? Cheers. Ch.

Hi to all Members, There is a new easy (easier than usual ) question in the Soviet & Eastern Block Quiz - 2008... http://gmic.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=2429...st=149start=149 Please, don't be shy, don't hesitate to try answering and participate !!!! See you soon on the Quiz!!! Cheers. Ch.

We need to move on this Quiz !!!! As we have no news from Marc, and as I think I have got the right answer; as the "boss" of this Quiz, I decide to attribute myself this victory and will therefore ask for the next question, the 178th one... To make this Quiz more dynamic, I will ask an easy one, so that more Members will try to participate. Question #178 What are the two latest Soviet awards (orders or medals) instituted by the USSR ? 1. Names of these awards ? 2. Date of creation for each ? The winner is the first one correctly answering both questions. Come on Members, it's easy !!!! Good hunt and good luck !!! Cheers. Ch.
