- The Swedish KO, Question 10, Answer - 6 Updates
- QFTCIUA Current Events 3-4 - 1 Update
| Erland Sommarskog <esquel@sommarskog.se>: Oct 08 10:22PM +0200 >> Q10: How many times has Sweden advanced to be one of the top four teams >> in FIFA World Cup in football (men's tournaments only)? (Mark Brader) 1 -3 David B 1 -3 Björn Lundin 2 -2 Stephen W Perry 4 CORRECT Dan Blum 6 +2 David B is knocked out. The years are 1938 (4th place), 1950 (bronze), 1958 (silver) and 1994 (bronze). In comparison, England has only there twice. (Nevermind, they became champions on of them.) I'm really disappointed with Björn. He should know this. OK, so the showing from 1938 is a little obscure. (And due to some luck. Sweden only won a single game in that tournament, the quarter finale. They should have played Austria in the first round, but they withdraw due to Anschluss.) The bronze from 1950, which was just two year after the gold in the Olympics, is certainly not obscure. -- Erland Sommarskog, Stockholm, esquel@sommarskog.se |
| Erland Sommarskog <esquel@sommarskog.se>: Oct 08 10:34PM +0200 This contest is now open only to Dan Blum, Björn Lundin and Stephen W Perry. (This is the question where everyone who is knocked out draws a sign of relief that they are not involved anymore. :-) Q11. Every third year, OECD runs PISA (Programme for International Student Assessment) to assess the level of 15-year-old students abilities in mathematics, reading and natural sciences. The study is not limited to OECD countries, but other countries can join. The most recent run of PISA was in 2012, with 65 countries participating. In mathematics the list was topped by Shanghai with 613 points. At the end of the list we find Perú with 368. The average for the OCED countries was 494. What result did Sweden score in mathematics? Please post your answer no later than Sunday 12, 22:00 Swedish time. -- Erland Sommarskog, Stockholm, esquel@sommarskog.se |

Well I did know 2 of them, and the color of the medallion. I was happy with that ... In the beginning you put me as favorite here, but as with most knock-outs - it's a fair bit of guess work, even if I _should_ have a clue about the magnitude of the guess. But as it seems, the competitors have a great feeling for the magnitude as well... Of course, my son would have nailed the football question, but I'm just not that interested in sports. -- Björn |

There has been a lot of debate around this issue, some mean that it helped to make the sitting goverment lose the elektion. 4 kids in school, and THIS I should know. I guess at 463. -- -- Björn |
