Arrgh!
I accidentally gave it a one-star rating. I will ask David to reset that.
I meant something much better. I shouldn't do this at 5:00 AM...

Chinese Food, 2 weeks, 1 day ago
Comment given by RonaldDerGrosse
The general food knowledge came from Wikopedia when the game was made. Dim Sum was shown as several light dishes served as a breakfast and yum cha was a tea drinking session. The variations came from the various regions of the world where Chinese populations are large. Some of these dishes are not even too popular in China, but appear on all USA Chinese menus.
Chinese Food, 2 weeks, 1 day ago
Comment given by BoboLo
I'm a bit puzzled about a couple of aspects. First, I've always seen dim sum as lunch rather than breakfast food. And that is certainly the case in London's Chinatown. Second, in Australian Chinatowns (Sydney and Melbourne), we use the term yum cha instead of dim sum for a dumplings lunch. Perhaps a Chinese member of the site could clarify these points ...

OK, but you have two entries for "Chinese Martial Arts" with different capitalization, which makes them non-interchangeable.
I claim a 100% on this game, as that is my only "error".

It would be better menu reading practice if the menu were in Chinese writing.

For the duration of this tournament, you can find all the Pentathlon games in one convenient place:

New games will be added as they are posted. They will likely remain in place even after the competition concludes. If there is a subsequent competition, they may be replaced.

Summer Olympics Revised, 2 weeks, 5 days ago
Comment given by Esar
I like the game. The Olympics are such a great venue!
I only wondered why the games of 1906 (later on declared as not an official OG) and 1916 (cancelled due to WWI) are included, but the games cancelled due to WWII (1940 Tokyo / Helsinki and 1944 London) not?
