Christian Zulus Posted October 25, 2008 Posted October 25, 2008 You know this man. I know you know him. Just think about the 2nd question, it should help...Dear Christophe,many thanks for the hint .Working 60 years on one single subject, has to be a rather complex affair, rather high-tech .... Sorry ..., I am still in my office at the Military Command, leaving just now for a birthday celebration and tomorrow we have our National Celebration Day in Austria with me 14 hours on duty for the Armed Forces on the side of our field chaplain. So, I will have time to look again into my books on monday .Best regards Christian
Christophe Posted October 25, 2008 Author Posted October 25, 2008 Hi Christian (and others),Another hint.Look at the pic quietly. This pic should remind you something... (ans specifically to you, Christian !!). This pic has something "specific", a kind of "signature"...Cheers.Ch.

Christophe Posted December 13, 2008 Author Posted December 13, 2008 (edited) Hi Christian,You are THE number 1 in number of victories in our quiz, and the Longest serving #1 "good answerer" (as you call it, or the one who have been the longest Number 1 in victories since the beginning of the quiz). I had forgotten these small stats. Here are the ones who have been Number 1 in victories since the beginning of the quiz.This indicates :* Name - (Victory N? who brought the status of N?1)* Period of time being N?1 - Number of days being N?1Here is an example :* Dave (Navy FCO) - 1 - 01.11.05 / 04.12.05 - 34 days.Means :* Dave has been N?1 with his 1st victory. He has been N?1 from 01.11.05 to 04.12.05, during 34 days.Here are the results :* Dave (Navy FCO) - 1 - 01.11.05 / 04.12.05 - 34 days.* Christophe - 2 - 04.12.05 / 12.02.06 - 70 days.* Bryan (Soviet) - 4 - 12.02.06 / 08.09.06 - 215 days.* Christophe - 6 - 08.09.06 / 30.11.06 - 84 days.* Bryan (Soviet) - 8 - 30.11.06 / 03.03.07 - 94 days.* Christophe - 10 - 03.03.07 / 12.03.07 - 10 days.* Christian (Zulus) - 11 - 12.03.07 / 12.12.08 - 641 days.In adding all these results, this gives as a grand total :* Christian (Zulus) - 641+ days.* Bryan (Soviet) - 309 days.* Christophe - 164 days.* Dave (Navy FCO) - 34 days.So, you are by far the N?1 of the Quiz!!!!! But, keep in mind that Marc (Lapa) is the N?1 for good answers in the Quiz 2008. Great job from all!!! Cheers.Ch. Edited December 13, 2008 by Christophe
