Congrats to Dave!

Alright, I've handled the ting distributions. Many participants this time around, congrats to everyone!

According to the new rules - the number of tings for bonus question may vary, however, we did not specify how to determine it. So this time I just assigned 1,000 tings for each of the bonus questions, which may become the new default, unless the quizmaster specifies a different (reasonable, though!) number.

If someone didn't get the correct award, please let me know!

Welcome to the 13th season!

Just like I did last time I hosted this game, I'll split the questions between six different topics, which can be merged depending on the question: science, history, sports, geography, TV and art. Hopefully this season will be as long as season 12 was. Good luck everyone!

Question 1
What site am I talking about?
-It is one of the oldest ecosystems on the planet.
-This ecosystem has one of the largest land animal migrations in the world.
-The most common animals in this ecosystem are wildebeests, gazelles, zebras, and buffalo, although there is also a high presence of big cats.
-This area is home to one of the most important paleontological reserves in the world.

Mononucleosis (usually shortened to 'mono'). Presumably because it is easily transmissible via kissing (saliva).

An dr_st is correct here

The "kissing disease" is caused in the majority of the cases by the Epstein-Barr virus, which is in the herpes family. Have you ever suffered from this disease?

Let's continue with the easy ones. Don't worry, the game will get harder soon

Season 13

Question 3
When was the last time the U.S. men's basketball team didn't win the gold medal at the Olympics?

I know they've lost quite a few World Championships, but I want to think (not because I'm a fan, but just because I don't know any better) that they've won every Olympics since 1992. In which case the last time would be 1988 (Soviet Union won that one, beating Yugoslavia in the finals).

Posted: **Sat Nov 22, 2025 3:55 pm**

They've won almost every Olympics since 1992, so 1988 isn't correct

Posted: **Sat Nov 22, 2025 4:02 pm**

Was it the most recent one

Posted: **Sun Nov 23, 2025 5:49 pm**

2008?

Posted: **Sun Nov 23, 2025 6:55 pm**

Nope, in 2008 they played against Spain and they won.
