The bidding for the denevér szimbólum item was won by ...... (at 150 treasure points).


????????

Not for me. And certainly not for the quiz admins.

Yes, you do. You still can't swallow things that come from abroad. PLS try to convince everyone that the wiki and the Library of Congress are all wrong. Based upon your personal experience. LOL!


The Q should still go:
Which nation invented parachute, torpedo, neck-tie and 1st mechanical pen?
Americans
British
Italians
Croats*

Parachute: Italian
Mechanical pen: (Biro) Hungarian
Neck-tie: Croatian
Torpedo: American

Zalaegerszeg, the place he was born at, was, and still is in Hungary. Pretty far from Croatia.

Look a the facts, my "friend".

You are the one who has arguments based upon "we have it in our museums". Your personal experience is not an argument btw.

You have proven nothing. Still despite all sources claim otherwise and repeat croatian canon.

Edit: If you wouldn't care, you wouldn't defend your Q.

David Schwarz (Schwarz Dávid) was a hungarian. Born at Zalaegerszeg (some sources say Keszthely) died at Vienna. He just spent most of his life in Croatia.

According to wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Schwarz_(aviation_inventor)
Acording to the Library of Congress: (Schwarz, David, builder of airships; b. 12/20/1850 Zalaegerszeg (Ungarn); d. 1/13/1897 in Wien)
http://errol.oclc.org/laf/n83-302420.html
According to hungarians: http://www.hungarianhistory.com/pics/aviation.pdf

That's the problem w/ you and your sources. You take what you like, and throw away the rest.

And things like

I can't see your education and museums from where I'm sitting. Noone else does. That's a poor argument. Show me.
Everyone can see what the Library of Congress, the Wikipedia and the hungarians say.
I didn't state my sources 'cause I don't have to. Everybody can google them.

The Q should still go:

A croatian government site is still not authentic. Even your source states "credit for the invention of the first practical parachute frequently goes to Sebastien Lenormand", and that the first device was based on Da Vinci's drawing. I think that should be enough to get rid of the Q.



It doesn't matter if you say so. Still, the question bleeds from many wounds. If someone would search google for who invented the parachute, credit wouldn't go to a croatian.



Dávid Schwarz was the inventor of the zeppelin, (german) Count Ferdinand von Zeppelin bought the plans from his widow. Hugo Eckener disputed this, but either way it wasn't a croatian who invented it.

The first written account of using medicine and entomology to solve (separate) criminal cases is attributed to the book of Hsi Duan Yu(translated as "[Washing Away of Wrongs]"

The admins should decide what to do with your Q. I think you should choose another field when you write a new one.

Your answers are from sites like:
www.croatians.com

PLS take a look at something more authentic.
How should we know that the croatians regard these inventions as theirs?

Just one more thing:

inventors.about.com (your source!) says:


You shouldn't just crop the things you don't want to hear. Nice try btw.

Which nation invented parachute, torpedo, neck-tie and 1st mechanical pen?
Americans
British
Italians

There are quite a few misunderstandings regarding inventions. The Q should go.

A ballpoint pen (also eponymously known in British English and Australian English as a biro and pronounced /ˈbaɪroʊ/ BYE-roh in Britain and Australia but sometimes /ˈbɪəroʊ/ BEER-oh elsewhere, named after its credited, though contested, inventor László Bíró) is a modern writing instrument.

The first usage of the term torpedo to refer to a naval explosive was by American inventor Robert Fulton.
The first torpedo designed to attack a specific target was the spar torpedo invented by by E. C. Singer, a private engineer who worked on secret projects for the benefit of the Confederate States of America.

The modern parachute was invented in the late 18th century by Louis-Sébastien Lenormand in France, who made the first recorded public jump in 1783.

And finally, the necktie was "invented" by croatians.

The longest highway in the world has a length of?
About 5000 km
About 7000 km
About 10000 km
About 8000 km*

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Highway#World_record_highways

All answers are false, except if you want to know the longest point to point. It's probably not general knowledge either.

There's a minor problem w/ Clan votings.

Who wrote "The Four Noble Truths" ?
Billy Graham
Chris West
The Dalai Lama
L Ron Hubbard

The Four Noble Truths appear many times, throughout the most ancient Buddhist texts, the Pali Canon. It wasn't written by the Dalai Lama.

As I remember, that's not a hun server, so it should be in english.
It had to be translated.

There`s a problem w/ the auction hall again.

You cannot complete the quest: Kill a Nightspawn (I'm not sure that's the correct name), because the legend lvl 40. is incomplete.
