The Federation Tribune Competition, by Rob Versteegt
A very interesting result, this time, at the Federation Tribune Competition. Only *one* person has responded to this competition. Just one. So this person automatically is the winner. Nevertheless, he had *all* answers correct. . . including the bonus question!
The winner of last month's Federation Tribune Competition, is. . .
Merijn!
Congratulations, Merijn!
Now, I’m sure you all remember the bonus question of last month's competition:
Bonus Question: What kind of articles will we see in the next issue of the Federation Tribune? Will we just see the usual, or will we see other articles as well? If so, what would those articles be? (Yes, this is a difficult question, isn't it? You can of course decide about the outcome of this question: just send in some articles!)
A very difficult question indeed. Merijn though, sent me this answer:
Mostly it will be the same; except that Rob (the twin one) will write a strange article and Ben will write a LONG one. Merijn however will not write an article and only submit his answers to the questions and he would like to thank the search option in notepad for the help. <G>
Well. . . Merijn *almost* got the entire bonus question correct: I *did* write a strange article (well, it's true, isn't it?) and Ben also wrote an article. . . but not a long one. So it's not entirelly correct. Nevertheless Merijn, it's wonderful to see that you can look into the future. Got any tips for what might be ahead? ;-)
Now, let's move on to the Competition of this month! Here are the questions. As usual, you can find all of the questions in the newspaper. Please. . . do *not* use any search functions, though! ;-)
Question 1: How long has the Calhoun been trapped in orbit?
Question 2: PaRel is promoted to. . . what?
Question 3: Who wants to create an ion storm, and why?
Question 4: How many people are left on the Odyssey, at the time of that status report?
Question 5: What is the first name of the doctor who came to visit me in my story?
Question 6: What did Odysseus do to resist the call of the Sirens?
Question 7: What does ToS mean?
Question 8: What's the Valkyrie's new mission?
Question 9: Which old enemy makes an appearance again at the Calhoun?
Question 10: How many participants were there in last month's Competition?
Bonus Question:
Ah yes folks, a tricky one this time: I will be reviewing all entries, to see which I think is best. This is something that is only *mentioned* in this Tribune. . . the answer cannot be found here. So you'll have to think for yourself. . . Here goes!
What is the definition of sentient life?
There. Not bad, is it? That should keep you busy for a little while. ;-)
Please send the answers to chiefeditor@frontierfleet.com, before May 10th, please. I'm hoping for a lot more reactions than last time! :P
