Re: [Wikimania-l] TRIVIA tonight!

Indeed it is.  We discovered that while grading but neglected to update the
answers. Funny knowing that the questions and answers were written by Phoebe
and mostly on the day of (i.e. the day after she was elected).

The file has been updated.

 just for the record... the answer to the board question seems to be
 incorrect :) It should be 19... (but I guess that this file was prepared
 before the announcements :) )

2010-07-20 Thread Peter Gehres
I have both the questions and the answers. I am happy to post them.  How do
people want them organized? Separate files, or one file with a question
slide followed by an answer slide?

 in addition to general gratitude for the conference organization, I'd
 like to thank you all who organized this quiz show and the party
 itself as well. It made a fun ... including the experience missing the
 last tram! I was really amazed my flesh and blood had preserved still
 the elements of 80's prodigal Tokyo girl, thrived by the old Gdanska
 skyline in the dawn.


 last tram? You mean the first?

  Hi,
 
  Thanks for that info.
  Is there any microSIM available for iPhone4?
  As far as I read
 
 http://www.thenews.pl/business/artykul133182_iphone-4-in-poland-from-september.html
  I guess I cannot get it.
  (I know roaming service is available, though.)
 
  AFAIR all GSM proviers offer miniSIM.
  Haven't seen microSIMs in Poland yet.
