1st Olympics ?

      Hello friends,

      as in the last 2 levels, you have to answer a question. But this time, the keyboard is a little larger and allows you to type alphanumeric characters. Here's the question:

      Where and when were the first modern Olympic Games held?

      Yes, these are actually two questions, so there are two answers to give, separated by a dot (.)
      As in the model present in this level, the machine expects the answer in the form :

      city.year
      (ENG spelling)

      Confirm with the Enter button!

      Wow! That is an impressive keyboard! :cool: Pushing all the buttons went well and then B-bot won the quiz. Then B also had to suffer from trying a wrong answer. Investigating further, your mechanism does not seem to mind adding some completely unrelated letters, even in the year part. Still an impressive mechanism level! :thumbsup:

      Fantastic BIG work!:thumbsup: Thank you very much my friend for this! And thank you for introducing the cognitive aspect to the mekorama level. As a physical education teacher I am very pleased!:D Thank you;)

      @Goetz Correct ! Unlike the previous level, entering a wrong character will not be punished. I of course considered - and designed - a mechanism to prevent from that BUT - believe me or not :D -there wasn’t enough room to do so. It was one block close !
      I didn’t say my last word though :p

      @Denis Nazin You’re welcome ! But it is not new in Mekorama to have a level that asks a question… ;)
      I didn’t know you were a sports teacher ?! :thumbsup:

      Thank you both !

      You don't have to be a creator to appreciate the work that must go into this fantastic mechanism. What versatility this magnificent app offers, making these works of art possible. Thanks @Valentin ;) astonishing job, yes sir!
      btw, I must say that before consulting I did my calculations and I was only wrong in the year, by 4 years to be more exact.:sneaky:

      @delator77 Thank you ! I am touched by your describing of a "work of art". It's definitely a reward to me :)
      So you got wrong with one Olympiad ? :D Actually, with doing this level I discovered that the will of Baron Pierre de Coubertin (a compatriot of mine!) in 1894 was to wait for 1900 and the Universal Exposition in Paris to organize the firs modern Olympics. The International Olympic Comitee feared a too long time to wait and then picked
      1896
      Then they choosed
      Athens
      unanimously.

      @MekoMole Thanks for coming out of the burrow and taking a look ;). I do hope we will have a level from you one of these days ?!
