Well, there is also a member having "Multiplayer Admins" as position. I supposed it was some additional monitoring of the team?

Ah, no, multiplayer admins can ban users from the multiplayer. We've got 6 of those actually, but the others are hidden. So what is your question?

LucAtC · « **Reply #27 on:** January 10, 2008, 03:12:57 »

An easy one: To what depth is the entry channel to Portsmouth maintained?

that distance thing was clever Wout, I wondered how you did that..

A wild guess Luc, I'd say about 20 meters..

ozziesailor · « **Reply #29 on:** January 10, 2008, 09:54:53 »

15 metres and thats a guess

carl · « **Reply #30 on:** January 10, 2008, 11:04:04 »

then i will guess 18 meters

Lets me participate too.

Whats the maximum speed reached by the fishing boat during the storn at the open sea with 4.0m waves?
In this question the boat is facing the waves from the bow, not surfing like following the waves.

saltydog · « **Reply #32 on:** January 10, 2008, 14:09:26 »

sorry Tavares, it's not your turn..

LucAtC · « **Reply #33 on:** January 10, 2008, 17:40:05 »

Pfff, the closest answer is that of an aussie.... although still far off. That is the depth at HW, did anyone see a loaded supertanker in Portsmouth??
Google could have given the solution, as well as any chart of course, it is maintained by dredging at 9.50m.
So, as nobody found the answer, a new question, very easy:

Where are waterdepths greater than 40m in NY harbor?

Bay Ridge Channel...

LucAtC · « **Reply #35 on:** January 10, 2008, 23:48:06 »

Hmmm, no no. It's simpler than that.
Luc
Hint: One word is enough

saltydog · « **Reply #36 on:** January 11, 2008, 00:43:18 »

One word? Then it's got to be Hoboken..

LucAtC · « **Reply #37 on:** January 11, 2008, 00:51:57 »

The word I had in mind was in fact an adverb...

mvsmith · « **Reply #38 on:** January 11, 2008, 01:04:38 »

I donâ€™t think you had in mind the water tunnels beneath the city that bring fresh water from up north. They are very deep.

LucAtC · « **Reply #39 on:** January 11, 2008, 01:09:10 »

Not at all, I thought about the tunnels too, but no, although there is no trick, there is a trap indeed.
Luc
It can be related to the fact that the depths in SS2008 are feet...

saltydog · « **Reply #40 on:** January 11, 2008, 02:25:47 »

I've gone all around New York in a speedboat, I don't see it..
I never was any good at cryptograms..

LucAtC · « **Reply #41 on:** January 11, 2008, 03:23:31 »

Nowhere
is the answer. Wasn't it easy?
One word, an adverb, depths in NY are given in feet by SS2008.
No luck, but OK, to someone else, I give up with my not well adapted questions.
Go on, saltydog, your tenacity has as much merit as finding the answer.
To you, mister salted chips, you won
Luc

saltydog · « **Reply #42 on:** January 11, 2008, 11:43:32 »

;Good one Luc, a trick question..

Ok folks, put your walking shoes on..
On this ship, how many flights of stairs must you descend to get from the bridge to this point? (foto)

LucAtC · « **Reply #43 on:** January 11, 2008, 12:39:09 »

From the inside, I think 3 + 5 + 2 is around 10 $:-\$

Also a tricky question?
Luc

budbud · « **Reply #44 on:** January 11, 2008, 12:57:57 »

Well I counted 10 flights of stairs so 150 stairs but is there a trick? Doesn't one say "ladder" for a ship?
If my last question is right, so I would say there is no flight of stairs.

saltydog · « **Reply #45 on:** January 11, 2008, 13:23:03 »

10 flights of stairs is correct..So Luc, you're up (unless you want to give this one to budbud..

I may have been wrong calling them stairs, but hey, I'm a landlubber..

budbud · « **Reply #46 on:** January 11, 2008, 13:24:18 »

No no go ahead Luc, I pass!

LucAtC · « **Reply #47 on:** January 11, 2008, 13:48:45 »

What is the maximum wave height in harbour environment?
Luc

budbud · « **Reply #48 on:** January 11, 2008, 13:52:43 »

Hey 0.2m if I'm not wrong.
By the way Luc, did you receive my reply to your message because I'm sure it was sent...

LucAtC · « **Reply #49 on:** January 11, 2008, 14:20:22 »

You are right, 20 cm indeed, you won! Your turn...

And many thanks for the kind reply, and the support!

To put the french manual on line, I'll ask the boss
Luc
