Key Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 Our Winter School 2013 is coming to an end. Question no. 9, the last one, brings the chance to win, besides the usual 1000 points, a bonus of 500 points to ALL teams. Electric Jade- correct, team wins 1000 points + gift card Door 2 - Peach Darling All the village was glad when they returned, but none were so glad as the old man and woman. The people were now very proud of Peach Darling, and called him a great man, but he said: "Give all the honor to my three companions, for they did it all." Peach Darling lived many years, and was always kind and wise. Many people of the village came to him for help. Once the people brought him a wonderful peach fashioned out of gold. They said: "We all love you for bringing back our riches to us, but we love you far, far more for your wisdom and kindness to us." ~The End Question for 1000 points + 500 points bonus: Which were the three kingdoms Goryeo united in 936? ----------------- The navy team: correct, team wins 1000 points + gift card Door 3 - Lord Bag of Rice The first of these gifts was a huge bronze bell, on the outside of which was told in pictures the story of the centipede. The second was a sword which would always give its owner the victory. The third was a suit of armor so strong that no swords or arrows could go through it. The last two were the most wonderful of all. One was a roll of silk of any color he wished, and the more he used of the silk the more the roll grew. The other was a bag of rice which never grew less, which he used to feed people. This last gift seemed so wonderful to the people that they called him Lord Bag of Rice from that day. ~The End Question for 1000 points + 500 points bonus: On what continent was recorded the highest temperature on Earth? ----------------- Ku Smile team: correct, team wins 1000 points + gift card Door 04 - The Old Man with a Wart At last the Storm Spirits saw him and dragged him forth to dance for them, but he was so frightened that he could only shake and tremble. Then they were angry and said: ''Well, if you can't dance better than this we don't want you any more." So they put the other wart on the right side of his face and started him off. Poor man! He was sorry he came, for now he had a wart on each side of his face and was wet to the skin as well. ~The End Question for 1000 points + 500 points bonus: What is the tallest building in the world? ----------------- Cotton Bunnies team: no answer given in 24 hours, team loses 1000 points Door 06 - The Bamboo Princess She asked the fourth to bring a jewel from the neck of the sea dragon, and the fifth prince offered to bring her the shell which the swallows keep hidden in their nests. The princes hurried away, each anxious to be the first to return, and so marry the beautiful Bamboo Princess. ~The End Question for 1000 points + 500 points bonus: In what year did Czechoslovakia dissolute into Czech Republic and Slovakia? ----------------- Black Satin team: no answer given in 24 hours, team loses 1000 points Door 07 - The Smoke of Fuji Yama The leader gently laid a mantle of gleaming snow-white feathers over her shoulders. Her old garments slipped to the earth and disappeared. Rising like the morning mists that lie along the lake the white company passed slowly to the top of Fuji Yama, the sacred mountain of Japan. On, on, up through the still whiteness of the moonlight, the long line passed, until once more they reached the silver gates of the moon city, where all is happiness and peace. Men say that even now a soft white wreath of smoke curls up from the sacred crown of Fuji Yama, like a floating bridge to that fair city far off in the sky. ~The End Question for 1000 points + 500 points bonus: Which is the smallest country in the world? ----------------- Purple Pony Tail Team team: correct, team wins 1000 points + gift card Door 09 - The Branch of the Jewel Tree "Yes." The prince was angry and ashamed. He knew that the princess would never believe in him again, so he went far away into another country to live. The princess gave the jewel branch to the workmen to pay them for their years of work, so they went away happy, and praising the princess for her kindness. ~The End Question for 1000 points + 500 points bonus: What are the ‘eight hells of Beppu’? ----------------- Fiery Goddesses of Atlantis team - correct, team wins 1000 points Door 10 - The Fire Robe "It cannot be too beautiful for the lovely Bamboo Princess, so I will put it in once more, that it may be more beautiful for her than it has ever been for anyone else." So he ordered a fire brought and laid the dazzling silver robe over the burning coals. Like a flash the red flames leaped up, and before he could snatch it from the fire there was nothing left but silvery smoke drifting off on the wind, and silvery ashes dimming the red of the coals. Poor Prince Abe! He was heartbroken. He could not blame his faithful friend, for he had done his best. He was glad he had not taken it to the princess before he knew it was the right one, for then she might think he too wished to deceive her. He could only write to her telling her all, and then go away forever. The princess was very sad when she knew what had happened, for she saw that this man was true. She sent him a note asking him to come to her, but he had already gone away, so she never saw nor heard of him again. ~The End Question for 1000 points + 500 points bonus:: What is the smallest building in the world?

robertita Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 The ‘eight hells (or Jigoku) of Beppu’ are eight unique bubbling and steaming hot springs resulting from volcanic activity in Beppu city, located in Ōita Prefecture on the island of Kyushu, Japan, at the west end of Beppu Bay.

Key Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 Winter School 2013 has ended. Congrats to all teams and thank you for particpating! We hope you had fun and enjoyed it as much as we did. (: Electric Jade- correct, team wins 1500 points Total points won: 8000 points + 1 gift card ----------------- The navy team: wrong answer, team loses 500 points (Some considered the highest temperature was recorded in Al Aziziyah, Libya, but since that temperature was miscalculated by 7 degrees, the world's highest temperature was recorded in Greenland Ranch in Death Valley, California. However, I'd have accepted either answer: Africa or North America, since you were asked for the continent.)
