Well, there were three participants last time, while nobody responded by email with suggestions for how to improve the participation rate of the Trivia. However, on the forums we disccussed giving a multiple choice trivia a try. However, the question remains: To participate or not to participate!
First the answers to last time's questions:
Q1. What is Seven's translink frequency?
A1. Translink frequency 108.44236000
Q2. Did Gene Roddenberry really like to have Patrick Stewart casted as Captain?
A2. No, he did not. Robert H. Justman 'found' the new Captain on a night in October 1986. However Gene Roddenberry's reaction after their first minute which lasted 30 minutes was "I won't have him! He's not what I have in mind." Later on Rick Berman came aboard and he supported Justman in wanting to have Patrick Stewart as their new Captain, however Gene Roddenberry did not gave in. After having exhausted all other possibilities and having rejected actor after actor time ran out and Gene finally gave in.
Q3. Who are this? And a bonuspoint for the episode. ;)
"I'll have then hot fudge sundaes."
"I have never seen anyone eat ten chocolate sundaes."
"I'm in a really bad mood. And since I've never eaten before, I should be very hungry."
A3. Q and Data in Déjà Q (TNG).
Q4. What is the designation of the USS Essex?
A4. The USS Essex can be seen in 'Power Play' (TNG), it's designations is NCC 173.
Q5. Do you still remember Commander Shelby from TNG's double episode 'Best of Both Worlds' ? Well, who is she married to?
A5. If you answered to who the actress is married, bad luck. If you answered something like 'her husband', nice try. But the answer I wanted to hear was: Mackenzie Calhoun (or in Xenexian: M'k'n'zy of Calhoun).
Q6. The NCC-1701-7 is...?
A6. Starship Enterprise, NCC-1701-7, to be known as the Enterprise Seven. An early name for the Enterprise-D during the development of The Next Generation.
Q7. Who? Bonuspoint for the episode. ;)
"It has been my observation that one of the prices of giving people freedom of choice... is that sometimes they make the wrong choice."
A7. Odo to Kira in Shakaar (DS9)
Q8. In the TNG episode "Brothers" Data locks up the transporter with an access code. This prevents the crew from following him in beaming down. Now, why did they not take a shuttlecraft?
A8. I am sorry for the simplistic answer: Bad writing
Q9. Who? Bonuspoint for the episode. ;)
"Worlds may change, galaxies disintegrate, but a woman... always remains a woman."
A9. Kirk to Lenore Karidian in The Conscience of the King (TOS).
Q10. In case of ties, how many SETI units will have be analyzed by the ST Frontier Fleet SETI team at November 11, 1111 GMT.
A10. Results received 5285
Notes:
2. I have not taken the long answer into account since since all
participants basically said that Gene wanted a real Frenchman.
6. All participants answered the Shuttle Galileo which seems to have
been a correct answer too, but not the one I wanted to hear. ;)
So that gives the following score:
1st) Merijn Donders (11 points; tie guess: 5311)
2nd) Rob Verlinden (10 points; tie guess: 5284)
3rd) Bram Peeters (10 points; tie guess: 5260)
