Nosotros, a pesar de ganar, pusimos mal cinco respuestas: la 2 (Difficulty in advancing on slippery or snow-covered roads, por sentido común); la 13 (Mercedes SL Pagoda, por decisión mancomunada); la 16 (Air, después de consultar la etimología); la 18 (Dayak, a boleo); la 25 (Targa Florio, por intuición)

Ganamos con una nota de 8. Había poca competencia si pudimos ganar con una nota tan baja.
