Next, I would like to hear @Olympian1010's advice on this question. :underwater:

I knew Yellowstone was in Wyoming, and I was pretty confident it was in Montana as well. I knew it wasn’t in Utah, since Utah markets their national parks as “The Big 5,” and I’ve been to all of “The Big 5” and Yellowstone wasn’t one of them. That leaves Idaho and South Dakota. I thought Yellowstone was in the western part of Wyoming, and South Dakota seemed too far east. Therefore, I would have suggested Idaho.

@OlympicIRL

So in the end, would you have gone with your instinct of Montana or the advice that it was Idaho?

I would have gone with Idaho if pushed. Montana was my gut instinct but I believe Idaho sounds like a good answer based on both pieces of advice now :d

I'll give you the three numbers here: 96%, 3% and 1%.

 

Of course the major part is in Wyoming.

3% are in Montana.

And you had some dang good experts today, they were absolutely right. 1% Idaho. :d

 

 

 

Pts. 500,000

 

To which state does about 1% of the 8,897 square kilometres

of the Yellowstone National Park area belong?

 

  A: Montana        B: South Dakota
  C: Utah   D: Idaho

Thanks also again for playing @OlympicIRL, it was very entertaining and it was you with a large portion of knowledge under pressure today. I guess I can consider you and the others who have played all seasons the "Big Five". :d

 

That was also the last episode for 2021. The plan is to keep Season 3 running for a bit longer in January for those who have not played before and would like a run.

Season 3 will be over by the end of January and there will be an Olympic break again. :hatoff:

Great logic by both @hckošice and @Olympian1010 . Sorry I didn't take the chance, just didn't want to drop all my points. Thanks to @Quasit for a very fun evening and for helping to broaden my knowledge :)

Yeah that was what I thought, but was definitely not sure and would be really sad for you if I made you lose so many money points. I would played the same being on your place, def would not risk this one neither.

Oh right, the leftover presents. :d

 

#1 would have been a "Safety Lock", a safety net for the current question to use it on and not drop any points on a wrong answer.

#2 "+25%"; not a lifeline but adds 25% to the total winnings; anything between Pts. 0 and 1,250,000 as a result

#3 "+1,000"; same as above, just the fixed amount of 1,000 points (between Pts. 1,000 and 1,001,000 as a final result)

#5 "Reactivate"; any of the basic lifelines that was out of play could have been used a second time

Did a new quiz regarding the football leagues around the world: https://www.sporcle.com/games/vinipereira/world-brands-soccer-leagues

 

Also made some updates to the Olympics playlist: https://www.sporcle.com/playlists/vinipereira/olympics-quizzes

 

Honestly, most quizzes should be pretty easy for Totallympics' regulars.

    • Alpine skiing also we have a lot of problems: the men's team is very weak and has been winning a few podiums a season for several years and the our best skier- Dominik Paris is 35. We still have a strong women's team but 3 of the 4 leaders are over 30 (Goggia, Brignone, Curtoni) and Bassino is 28. Another 2 years and we will have the same problem as the men's. There is basically no cross-country skiing without Pellegrino for many years, biathlon is based on 2 individuals with one of them has a 35 years. Vittozzi's injury was enough and we haven`t a single podium this season after 3 stages of the World Cup. As for 1 year to the home games the situation isn`t optimistic.
    • Hail to the Reds... Commanders. First time since 1991 Washington QB has thrown 5 TD passes in a game (which isn't all that improbable in the modern game alas Dan Snyder...)    
    • Italy is much better in alpine skiing, in The end all Nations have a Limited Talent Pool. Norway is far better than Sweden/Finland in Cross-Country skiing, alpine skiing and Biathlon, but Sweden/Finland are far better in ice Hockey.  Great Britain wins far more medals than Germany At Summer olympics, but GB is also inexistant in Winter Sports and Most popular Team Sports (Volleyball, Handball, Basketball, Ich Hockey).  
    • Thanks, great stat! Tannheimer wont turn 20 until August 2025, so she has The whole Season To Join Kristiansen and Neuner. Too Bad that she was ill this week. I think Galmace Paulin and Tänglander could also do it. I think Grotian (born 2004) is The First female Biathlete born after 1999 To make a World Cup Podium. On The Mens side multiple Athletes (Perrot, Giacomel, Uldal) have already done it.   E. Öberg was 22 and a half when she First won.  Dahlmeier was 21 and a half.   Edit: Grotian only narrowly missed The Podium in The Individual at The 2024 World Championships when she was still  19 year old.
