2001: Top-11
quotes; my personal favorites
(by Hans
Eendebak (Captain of The Netherlands))
10th World Puzzle Championship & Congress Brno, Czech Republic October 2001
During
the instruction meeting:
1. Do
'lost', 'missing' and 'left out' mean the same things?
2. The
maximum is zero points. The maximum of the minimum is zero points.
3. We
are a positive championship. You cannot score negative points, only positive.
4. Just
another question mark.
5. I will
tell you: You will understand it when you see it.
During
one of the trips:
6. Brno
is the second largest city of the Czech Republic
7. On
your left there is a building, not very beautiful but we don't have any
money.
8. A couple
of years ago we had to stand in line for two hours for five kilos of bananas.
9. The
problem of the championship is that there is only one champion.
In the
cave:
10. The
right hand side is natural, the left hand side is created by dynamite.
In the
bar (farmers' bridge):
11. 5+N2
or – N2
---------------------------------------------------------
And this
one is from my father after he heard I finished 6th:
"So you
finished 6th,... How many were competing? 105,... Oh,
so you ended among the worst 100."
