• Each contestant has a fixed amount of points for his or her distribution. Each constestant will have 10x12, 10x11, 10x10, 10x9, 10x8, 10x7, 10x6, 10x5, 10x4, 10x3, 10x2 and 10x1 to distribute over for the 120 questions.
• Overwrite the "X" with a number between 1 and 12. Those will be the points you distribute for a specific bet. If you win a bet, you will win the amount of points you gave for that bet.
• You can't leave out a bet. All bets must be given minimum 1 point. 12 points per bet are the maximum. Choose wisely how you will distribute your points.

5 - At least two of these NOCs (which haven't won a medal since Sydney 2000 or before) will medal again in Paris 2024: Barbados, Costa Rica, Guyana, Haiti, Iraq, Lebanon, Luxembourg, Mozambique, Pakistan, Peru, Sri Lanka, Suriname, Tanzania, Tonga, Uruguay, US Virgin Islands, Zambia. [YES/NO - X]

In numbers 2 and 5 (made by me) "medal" is being used as a verb. I don't know if that's an actual thing in english language but I've seen it being used like that on this forum before so 

[George_D 1,205]

some clarifications n the following questions:

 

 

Quote

 

General (15)

1 - Pacific Island nations in Oceania (including New Zealand, not Australia) will win more medals than Caribbean nations. [YES/NO - X]

 

with "Caribbean nations" we mean obviously and the big ones also, Cuba, Jamaica etc?

 

 

 

Quote

 

Aquatics - Synchronized Swimming (1)

26 - At least one NOC will win its first Olympic medal. [YES/NO - X]

 

Quote

 

Gymnastics - Artistic (3)

75 - At least two NOCs will win their first Olympic medal. [YES/NO - X]

 

 

if i get it right, both questions mean: will win first Olympic medal ever in the specific event??

Fencing (3)

 

 

69 - Either France, Hungary, Italy or fencers from these NOCs will be presented at every podium. [YES/NO - X]

 

Question means that every podium will be achieved by FRA, HUN, ITA teams / individual fencers

1. at least by one of these NOCs

or

2. from all these NOC together

Correct. Every recognised NOC who is an island nation/country in the Caribbean ocean. So a nation/country like Belize isn't included here.

In the specific sports, yes.

Number 1 is the correct interpretation.

 

Example:

Spoiler

Criteria for "Yes":

 

Men's Epee: 

HUN, KOR, FRA

 

Men's Foil:

FRA, ITA, USA

 

Men's Sabre:

ITA, JPN, IRN

 

etc...

 

Criteria for "No"

 

Men's Epee:

HUN, KOR, FRA

 

Men's Foil:

FRA, ITA, USA

 

Men's Sabre

USA, JPN, IRN (None of the mentioned NOCs are on the podium. So the answer to the question would be "No".
