So here we go! The first question of the Orienteering Today Quiz 2005:
What is the name of the one and only Czechoslovakian male individual World Orienteering Champion?
How to answer?
Answering to the questions is very easy. You will just send your replies via email to the address: contest@orienteeringtoday.com
Subject of the email shall always be identical with the title of the article: “OT Quiz – Question X”, where X will represent relevant number for each of the questions. You shall paste your replies in the body of the email.
Oh, and if you figure it out, post here so that we all get in on the action :)
Ok, I found it on the IOF website. It was Petr Kozak in 1991 in Czechoslovakia. He won the Short Distance.
I wonder if Jan will consider this group research/sharing to be cheating, or just good publicity for OT? Hopefully the latter, because it would be pretty hard to police...
OK, I didn't know that answer :(
Should we maybe not discuss the answer, and let everyone figure it out themselves?
seems like the sort of quiz that if yo ucan't find the answer with google pretty quickly the question won't be fair, given the geographic spread of potential participants......
"Should we maybe not discuss the answer, and let everyone figure it out themselves?"
Yes, please let me figure it out for myself! ;-)
