Last Sunday I started a quiz game in Hungary where I asked questions about American Architecture, History, Sports, movies and Literature. Yesterday we could see the lucky ones winning 100/50/25/20 Q1 weapons produced by Von Doom Arms USA.
Now this is your turn! Answer the following questions about Hungary till Sunday noon NY time (PM me!), and win Q1 weapons. Following a draw on random.org the lucky guys with correct answers will win 100/50/25 Q1 weapons! So there ya go:
There's a county in Iowa named after the former regent president of Hungary, who visited the United States not long after the fall of the Hungarian Revolution of 1848/49. Who is this regent president?
2. Sports:
Hungarian men's water polo team defeated USSR 4-0 at the 1956 Melbourne Olympic Games'. Although it only was a semi-final it was very important for Hungary. Why?
3. Origins:
Hungarian people live in the center of Europe, surrounded by Latin, Slavic and Germanic nations. However, they belong to none of these families. Who are the Hungarian's closest relatives in Eurasia? (There are more theories on this issue, some of these relatives are so minor that people outside Hungary and Russia -uhh, a hint?! don't even know about them, so I will accept more answers as correct!
)
4. Culture:
"Puli" is considered a non-official symbol of Hungary. But what is "puli"? (No, not a car!)
5. Language
How do you say the United States of America in Hungarian? (hint: Hungarian Google Translate is stupid!)
Comments are disabled, as I don't wanna see one posting the answers and the others go copy-paste. So PM me the answers!
Results will be open hours before Sunday's day change.
Have fun, enjoy the game, and learn about our friends!

About the game:
USA as a world power? In E-Sim it is possible!
In E-Sim we have a huge, living world, which is a mirror copy of the Earth. Well, maybe not completely mirrored, because the balance of power in this virtual world looks a bit different than in real life. In E-Sim, USA does not have to be a world superpower, It can be efficiently managed as a much smaller country that has entrepreneurial citizens that support it's foundation. Everything depends on the players themselves and how they decide to shape the political map of the game.
Work for the good of your country and see it rise to an empire.
Activities in this game are divided into several modules. First is the economy as a citizen in a country of your choice you must work to earn money, which you will get to spend for example, on food or purchase of weapons which are critical for your progress as a fighter. You will work in either private companies which are owned by players or government companies which are owned by the state. After progressing in the game you will finally get the opportunity to set up your own business and hire other players. If it prospers, we can even change it into a joint-stock company and enter the stock market and get even more money in this way.
In E-Sim, international wars are nothing out of the ordinary.
Become an influential politician.
The second module is a politics. Just like in real life politics in E-Sim are an extremely powerful tool that can be used for your own purposes. From time to time there are elections in the game in which you will not only vote, but also have the ability to run for the head of the party you're in. You can also apply for congress, where once elected you will be given the right to vote on laws proposed by your fellow congress members or your president and propose laws yourself. Voting on laws is important for your country as it can shape the lives of those around you. You can also try to become the head of a given party, and even take part in presidential elections and decide on the shape of the foreign policy of a given state (for example, who to declare war on). Career in politics is obviously not easy and in order to succeed in it, you have to have a good plan and compete for the votes of voters.
You can go bankrupt or become a rich man while playing the stock market.
The international war.
The last and probably the most important module is military. In E-Sim, countries are constantly fighting each other for control over territories which in return grant them access to more valuable raw materials. For this purpose, they form alliances, they fight international wars, but they also have to deal with, for example, uprisings in conquered countries or civil wars, which may explode on their territory. You can also take part in these clashes, although you are also given the opportunity to lead a life as a pacifist who focuses on other activities in the game (for example, running a successful newspaper or selling products).
At the auction you can sell or buy your dream inventory.
E-Sim is a unique browser game. It's creators ensured realistic representation of the mechanisms present in the real world and gave all power to the players who shape the image of the virtual Earth according to their own. So come and join them and help your country achieve its full potential.
Invest, produce and sell - be an entrepreneur in E-Sim.
Take part in numerous events for the E-Sim community.
