I entered the competition. I just hope they can read my adress since the German word for street has an "?" in it. And like you can see in my previous sentence, UK sites don't get along with the letter ? (Eszett) because it just exists in the German language and instead of it there just appears a questionmark or weird symbols :/
So I hope in case I win they can read my adress :P
Edit: This is an image what it looks like Untitled

@Roopa132

Isn't it perfectly acceptable to substitute two 's' letters? I know that it's uglier, and not as proper, but I'd be surprised if mail wouldn't arrive when it's generally understood that a double-'s' is functionally equivalent to the character you're talking about.

@warioswoods. Well two s would work. Or I could just use the very common abbreviation of the word which is "Str." (Strasse). But I didn't think of that before and now it's too late :(

It always makes me happy to see NL doing competitions. And to hear that a NA one is finally nearly upon us makes me even happier. ;)

What's a "lanyard"?

15. chunky_droid Australia 21 Oct 2009, 19:16 BST

@Xkhaoz: It's like a necklace, except it has an attachment at the end to hold things like keys, bus passes and the like

Aviator

23. Aviator Australia 27 Oct 2009, 12:09 GMT

Damn, It would be good if us Aussies got our own competition. About a 1 in 7 chance of winning.

chunky_droid

24. chunky_droid Australia 27 Oct 2009, 12:17 GMT

There's more than 7 of us Aviator! :P

25. lifer Germany 27 Oct 2009, 14:52 GMT

Is it just me or is there a typo in the answers to this competition?

Terranigma

28. Terranigma United Kingdom 27 Oct 2009, 15:33 GMT

Damm it, my chances of winning have been lowered. Nice one you guys, glad to see there's more competitions going for the Aussies.

29. Starwolf_UK United Kingdom 27 Oct 2009, 21:49 GMT

@chunky_droid. Of course there are more than 7 Australians as otherwise it would be a 5/7 chance of winning (there are 5 of the winning prize in total)...I'd say 35 is about right :P

In fact, none of your multiple choice answers are correct, because they are all spelled incorrectly.
It should be Biathlon, Quadrathlon, etc... Where are the extra "a"s coming from?
Do I win something for being a smart arse?
