  • 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.

In the following questions i noticed that the word "win" is probably missing in "will medal" phrase:

 

 

General (15)

 

 

2 - At least six south american nations will medal. [YES/NO - X]

 

 

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]

 

 

 

Gymnastics - Artistic (3)


75 - At least two NOCs will their first Olympic medal. [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 :p

Fencing (3)

 

 

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

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.
