...MISTERY SEED...

I have ONE beautiful seed to give away, ready for posting.
I am not going to tell you what it is, just to make it more of a surprise!
But you have to win it...

Over the next few days, I will post different questions, to which you will have to answer

I will try and post in different times,so that everybody will get a chance.

The more questions you will answer, the greatest will be the chance to win, of course.

On the other hand, if your answer is wrong, no chance at all!

I will disregard eventual spelling mistakes, unless enormous...

The quickest right answer will get 5 points,the second quickest four and so on.

The winner will be the one with more total points.

Questions are all sorts, just what comes to mind at the moment!

READY TO START? ANY QUESTIONS?

Sounds like fun, miraflores. Where do we post the answers ... here or in a PM to you?

 

I think it's more fun "on the open"...wouldn't you say...?

 

It's your game ... I'll go by your rules ...

(I think I just squeeze into the requirements of being able to enter this game, don't you?)

 

QUESTION NUMBER ONE

The following pictures are all taken from a Sicilian town: which one?
(needless to say that you only have to give me one answer)

 

First guess ... Siracussa?

 

oh-oh...maybe saturday night is not the best
starting time for the quiz...
But thank you so far to our "perennial" participant LoL...
The second question should be tomorrow...
PS you will understand, though, that if there aren't at least two participants for each question, I will have to give it a miss...

QUESTION NUMBER TWO


"MASCARPONE" is a creamy cheese used in the preparation of which Italian dessert?


hint:

 

Tiramassu (sp)

 

I agree with Stingo.

 

Good evening to the roughly 100 members watching at the moment. if I am correct...
Thank you Stingo for taking part!
This is mainly about having fun, it is not that I want to make you sweat for your seed or anything... In fact you can also refuse it!
The "competition" is mainly about having fun...

Now, having said that, forget about the 250posts entry requirement and about the five hours limit.
Anybody can post at anytime, as long as you specify which question you are answering...

I have got already a winner among the two person which participated so far, if worst should come to worst...

third question is to follow sometimes...

 

QUESTION NUMBER THREE


"LA MIA SERA"
a poem from which I take the following lines, is written by:

a) Giacomo Leopardi
b) Gabriele d' Annunzio
or...
c) Giovanni Pascoli?


(...) La nube nel giorno pi�¹ nera

fu quella che vedo pi�¹ rosa

nell'ultima sera (...)


(rough translation: The darkest cloud in the daylight
is the one which looks the pinkest in the last evening)

 

c)

 

17.08 on monday

Competition closes now!!!

Thank you to those who took part, those who would have liked to take part and those who enjoyed it.
