Mr Quiz is wending his way back
... but he hasn't quite finished his summer tour (see here for details: http://iranturkey2014.eblana.eu/). So tonight's Quiz will be presented once more by Holger.
At least you can be sure that any questions about Germany will be well pronounced. That is, if there are any questions about Germany ;-)

Question of the Day - 20 February 2014
Here's a question from last night's Quiz. I was interrupted several times during the announcement of the question, so there was lots of confusion. As a consequence, no team got the answer. Try it now:
I bought 31 pieces of fruit for a total of €11.00, with different varieties of fruit in separate bags; each bag of fruit cost a multiple of €0.50; I spent most on pears; the oranges cost same as the lemons; I bought one pineapple which cost half as much as all the pears; the grapefruit and the apples cost same, but I got one more grapefruit than apples; how many of each variety of fruit did I buy?
J'ai acheté 31 fruits pour un total de 11€, chaque variété dans un sachet séparé; chaque sachet a coûté un multiple de 0,50; les poires ont coûté le plus; les oranges ont coûté autant que les citrons; un seul ananas qui a coûté la moitié du total des poires; même coût pour pamplemousse et pommes mais une pamplemousse de plus que de pommes; combien de chaque fruit ai-je acheté?
