I found it linked from the Subsim.com article on Wikipedia, even.

Besides, I had to keep you from taking up half the list.

Wow, do you work for the CIA?

There was no question 11 because we got two valid answers on question 12. How did I know that there would be two winners on question 12 and therefore knew to skip question 11? The answer involves time travel and ...nevermind.

Subsim Trivia Question 23: In a particular subsim, when you are at your leisure in the captain's quarters, you can read a love note from his girl. Which subsim is it and what are the contents of the note?






All I have to say now is: ha! ha! ha!

Silent Hunter 5, and the note reads:

I'm leaving you for Silent Hunter III. He may be old, but at least he works from the start.
Sincerely,
Ms. Player

Actually you've hit my hours nine times out of the 23 questions, well except that elusive #11, LoL. I just need to get on more often.

Having a good time, keep them coming!

Question 23a - out of contest:

What is the fate of the girlfriend of the Number One in Petersen´s "Das Boot"? (I don´t remember if the data is in the Bucheim book).

Not a joke...Really there is an answer....

Prize: A night with Fräulein Brünhilde in Munich.






Regards.

Fitzcarraldo

If you pause the game and hover the mouse pointer over the photo in the captain's quarters in Grey Wolf: Hunter of the North Atlantic, the message "Uta, Your Love" will appear.
