You win...

The scene is in the Uncut series for TV, nothing about that in the original movie or the Director´s cut.

But - I´m sorry - Fräulein Brünhilde was the prize for a flightsim contest (also) and she isn´t returned yet...


Only we have Hans and Otto for the prize...Enjoy!

Subsim Trivia Question 24: In the film The Hunt for Red October, Capt.Ramius is known to do what in the bottom half of the hour?

The most accurate and complete answer is needed.

Always goes to starboard - yes! Got one.

Because he always goes to starboard at the bottom half of the hour.

Both are correct IMO.

Hi!

I'm one of the (badly paid) judges for the Subsim Trivia contest.

After careful review, the answer Neal was looking for was Capt.Ramius is known to make a Crazy Ivan to starboard in the bottom half of the hour

We're boarding the Subsim corporate jet to retire to the chalet and deliberate on this, the answer will be forthcoming in 7 weeks.

Turn to starboard while doing a crazy Ivan on the half hour

No one gave you or the judges permission to use the jet, boy, and the chalet is being rented out to the Victoria's Secret people until after Feb 14, you don't go near us, the chalet, I mean...

Ahem, ok, well, let's get serious here, people. As Conan stated, the full and complete answer was: Capt.Ramius is known to make a Crazy Ivan to starboard in the bottom half of the hour

Always goes to starboard: what? Always pees to starboard? That explains those stains.

a "crazy Ivan": Yes, he is known to make crazy Ivans, twice an hour. But what kind of CI in the bottom half of the hour? I bet the trim operator hates his guts.

Turn to starboard while doing a crazy Ivan on the half hour: Pretty close, but which half hour? Top? Bottom?

Come on, where's that military exactness for which you are all famed?

In this case, I will allow all three answers. All three of your names will be added to the list.

The next Subsim Trivia question will surface within the next 12 hours. Right now I have to call the hanger and get that mob of judges out of my plane.

Sean Connery: Captain Marko Ramius

but how did Jack Ryan know that Captain Ramius would turn to starboard when questioned by the captain of the LA class fast attack submarine?

answer; He just took a guess

But, with one stipulation: if/when you answer another Subsim Trivia question correctly (and completely!), your name does not get entered for that question, but you may select another captain and his name will be added. And then you will be back to normal--answer a 3rd question correctly (and completely, hey! I'm really serious about this!), your name goes on the list normally.
Most generous, Neal.


Today's objective complete, make life difficult for Neal.

He's already making up imaginary friends to talk to. How much worse can it get?
