Trivia for the week of May 11th.....

[Gaffey]

The only reason I posted 14 languages was because you had sort of confirmed that he was correct in that post. I have no proof that all of those were actually published.

[maichan]

I found mention of about 14 too....

From various lists I found, 12 seem certain, but 2 show no actual confirmation of titles. Hope that doesn't tell too much...

[Steve Hubbell]

Well, we have a contest winner....

Here's what I come up with...

French, German, Croatian, Italian, Czech, Portuguese (Brazilian), Polish, Dutch/Belgium, Swedish, Indonesian, Spanish (Spain), Hungarian,
Finnish = mentioned here (http://www.usagiyojimbo.com/forum3/view ... inn#p46696)
Add to that Norwegian - (http://www.usagiyojimbo.com/forum3/view ... ges#p45610)

My guess for most published besides English is either French or Spanish.

Cheers!

Okay, second try: 14 official languages and two unoffoical languages. 14 offical are: Spanish, French, Croatian, Czech, Portuguese (Brazil), Swedish, Fin, Dutch, Norwegian, Indonesian, Italian, German, Polish, and Hungarian. Two unofficial are Chinese and Russian.

Brother, that took some searching on my part! Hope that it is correct!

Bonus Question - The first (and only) reply to list BOTH Spanish and Polish editions which are only one book behind the English editions.

Dear Steve,

I have no clue but at least the I can look at your bookshelf and assume that you, of all people, may have editions of all (or at least most) languages.

Guess based on your bookshelf: 9

Swedish, Portuguese, Indonesian, Polish, Croatian, Italian, Hungarian, French, Spanish

Bonus points: From your shelf collection, it looks like the Polish, Spanish are unto date with Red Scorpion but the French edition only goes up to 25. But 25 is 3 less than 28. So that can't be your answer. But I guess the new issue trade is coming out soon, and I assume Polish and Spanish editions will be behind then. So Polish and Spanish are my guess. I don't think that is right but it is the closest to right I can come up with, based on your bookshelf.

Thanks for listing a question I could kinda answer.

Peace, maka

Even though I could find no reference to anything translated into Norwegian, I accepted it as part of the answers since it was listed as such by Stan Sakai.

[maichan]

Congratulations Buck Rogers and Maka!

[Gaffey]

Congrats!

I should have looked at Steve's bookshelf for the Bonus question. *slaps forehead*

I went to the Polish website and couldn't understand a thing.

[BuckRogers]

Wooooo-whooooo!

Guess it pays off to struggle for 4 days and finally figure it out today!

God was with me!

[Maka]

I'm thrilled that I got the correct trivia answer for once.
Thanks Steve! Peace, maka

[Steve Hubbell]

How is this for a surprise prize?

It took me long enough, but I finally got a few of these bookmarks mailed out to the top three winners of this edition of the weekly trivia game.....

(and who are you calling slo.... oh, look at the pretty picture)

[Mayhem]

Don't suppose you've got any spares, Steve?

[maichan]

Ah! That explains it then!

I received one from Steve and couldn't figure out why.... and Steve wasn't telling either....

Thanks Steve!

[Maka]

Don't suppose you've got any spares, Steve?

I got mine, Steve! Thank you!

Mayhem, if Steve didn't have any extra, PM your address and I'll give you the one Steve gave me. I've been getting so many goodies lately from this Dojo, I should give back a little. . Peace, maka

[Steve Hubbell]

Don't suppose you've got any spares, Steve?

Sorry, forgot to reply. Problem with getting old and senile.....

Yeah, I have one I can send you.

[BuckRogers]

Ah! That explains it then!

I received one from Steve and couldn't figure out why.... and Steve wasn't telling either....

Thanks Steve!
