I found it linked from the Subsim.com article on Wikipedia, even.

Besides, I had to keep you from taking up half the list. :salute:

starting to see a pattern here all you have to do is stay up all night with google on your laptop and subsim on the PC and wham we too can win one.

I am not jealous ... just slow that's all
congratulations all you winners

Onkel Neal 01-31-13 01:35 AM

Wow, do you work for the CIA? :D

There was no question 11 because we got two valid answers on question 12. How did I know that there would be two winners on question 12 and therefore knew to skip question 11? The answer involves time travel and ...nevermind. :dead:

Subsim Trivia Question 23: In a particular subsim, when you are at your leisure in the captain's quarters, you can read a love note from his girl. Which subsim is it and what are the contents of the note?






All I have to say now is: ha! ha! ha!

Cybermat47 01-31-13 02:04 AM

Silent Hunter 5, and the note reads:

I'm leaving you for Silent Hunter III. He may be old, but at least he works from the start.
Sincerely,
Ms. Player

Actually you've hit my hours nine times out of the 23 questions, well except that elusive #11, LoL. I just need to get on more often. :)

Having a good time, keep them coming! :up:

fitzcarraldo 01-31-13 07:00 AM

Question 23a - out of contest:

What is the fate of the girlfriend of the Number One in Petersen´s "Das Boot"? (I don´t remember if the data is in the Bucheim book).

Not a joke...Really there is an answer....

Prize: A night with Fräulein Brünhilde in Munich.






Regards.

Fitzcarraldo :salute:

If you pause the game and hover the mouse pointer over the photo in the captain's quarters in Grey Wolf: Hunter of the North Atlantic, the message "Uta, Your Love" will appear.

Well, it took 6 hours this time, yay!

Yes, that is correct. Good job, Daryl.:up:

Next Subsim Trivia Question will appear within 12 hours or less.

You win...

The scene is in the Uncut series for TV, nothing about that in the original movie or the Director´s cut.

But - I´m sorry - Fräulein Brünhilde was the prize for a flightsim contest (also) and she isn´t returned yet...


Only we have Hans and Otto for the prize...Enjoy!

Subsim Trivia Question 24: In the film The Hunt for Red October, Capt.Ramius is known to do what in the bottom half of the hour?

The most accurate and complete answer is needed.

Herr-Berbunch 01-31-13 10:54 AM

Always goes to starboard - yes! Got one. :woot:

Quote:

Because he always goes to starboard at the bottom half of the hour.


Dronston 01-31-13 10:57 AM

a "crazy Ivan"

Onkel Neal 01-31-13 11:05 AM

Hmm... two partial answers. Judges?

Both are correct IMO. :up:

Conan 01-31-13 11:10 AM

Hi!

I'm one of the (badly paid) judges for the Subsim Trivia contest.

After careful review, the answer Neal was looking for was Capt.Ramius is known to make a Crazy Ivan to starboard in the bottom half of the hour

We're boarding the Subsim corporate jet to retire to the chalet and deliberate on this, the answer will be forthcoming in 7 weeks.

geetrue 01-31-13 11:11 AM

Turn to starboard while doing a crazy Ivan on the half hour
