Lance Neilstrung! The only fake-name rider I remembered from a distant, non-modded-db past. Apart from that, a fairly mediocre round ...

Surprisingly not too bad a round, considering I didn't have an answer for Q2.
And nice 2nd round.

1. Name a capital city which include the nation's name in his name.
Mexico City is the best option for the highs with 4. Only Brasilia get more than 1 point (maybe TMM thought finals -IA would have been more misleading).
In the lows you did well until when you thought Andorra la Vella, but it isn't a disaster, just 2. Everyone else with one.
H | | L | | Mexico City | 4 | Andorra la Vella | 2 | Brasilia | 2 | Panama City | 1 | Vatican City | 1 | Djibouti | 1 | Panama City | 1 | Monaco | 1 | | | San Salvador | 1 | | | Guatemala City | 1 | | | Vatican City | 1 |
2. Name a mountain that's no over 8000.
Tie at the top, both Kilimanjaro and Mont Blanc get 3 points, while the highest active european volcano Etna and Mt. Angeles score just one point.
Perfect low round for all players, demonstrating this question wasn't well suited for it.
H | | L | | Kilimanjaro | 3 | Moldoveanu Peak | 1 | Mont Blanc | 3 | Pic du Tourmalet | 1 | Mt Angeles | 1 | Mont Aigoual | 1 | Etna | 1 | Mount Elbrus | 1 | | | Manaraga | 1 | | | Wasserkuppe | 1 | | | Pico das Agulhas Negras | 1 | | | Mt Peaktu | 1 |
3. Name a nation that border with exactly one country.
Surprisingly low-round gives less different answers than high one.
With 17 possible options for this question and 7 different outputs, only Canada was the choice to get more than one pointers for the highs. Lesotho and Ireland were named twice in the lows.
H | | L | | Canada | 2 | Lesotho | 2 | Portugal | 1 | Ireland | 2 | UK | 1 | Gambia | 1 | Vatican City | 1 | Portugal | 1 | Dominicn Republic | 1 | Canada | 1 | Ireland | 1 | Brunei | 1 | Monaco | 1 | | |
4. Name an european sea.
Not big points here, however we have the southernmost sea (Mediterranean) scoring more than the opposites Northern, Baltic and White.
In the low-round two players were unlucky with a clash in the Azov Sea, while the others found a way in still waters.
H | | L | | Mediterranean | 3 | Azov | 2 | Northern | 2 | Ligurian | 1 | Baltic | 2 | Northern | 1 | White | 1 | Black | 1 | | | Mediterranean | 1 | | | White | 1 | | | Tyrrhenian | 1 |
5. Name a nation which has a flag with horizontal stripes and nothing else (no stars, no symbols, nothing).
Ok, we have a winner here, Germany leads the most decisive question of the round with 6, bad for Alexkr00 barred by his Netherlands while TMM confirms his intentions with the coloured four-striped Mauritius.
Also in lows there's just an answer (Armenia) leading over 1 point flags.
H | | L | | Germany | 6 | Armenia | 3 | Netherlands | 1 | Ukraine | 1 | Mauritius | 1 | Germany | 1 | | | Netherlands | 1 | | | Gabon | 1 | | | Lithuania | 1 |
Overall
With a perfect round Cunego is the winner for second time in a row, Imladrik follows him just 1 point behind, like Kandesbunzler sits third 1 point behind the secon place. The "peloton" at 14, while Alexk00 slips in the final question and TMM continues is crusade at the bottom.
Revenge for Alexkr00 in the low round, scoring a perfect 5 with TMM. Imladrik again on the podium, anticipating a group of 7s.
Good points for Cunego and Imladrik in the combined score, in front of kandesbunzler third. Quadsas leads the mid group, TMM alone far away with +1.
Cunego stretch the ranking by one point over a solid second place by Imladrik, kandesbundler and Nemolito share last podium spot. Croatia in the game just 2 points less.
TMM surprises everyone in the low round and takes the lead in front of a packed group that sees Cunego, Alexkr00 and Nemolito over the others.
Cunego leads also Hi-Lo rank, with a bigger gap than other classifications. After two rounds, third placed Nemolito is already 8 points behind, while Imladrik sit perfectly between them.
At the bottom TMM with 1 point, and quadsas that rises on positive numbers.

Wouldn't exactly consider the Mediterranean a European sea tbh though, Africa should at least have comparable stakes right?! Very cool round, eventhough I didn't do well.

Really sucks that I had Mexico City as my initial answer for Q1. Thought about Germany too for the last one, but I figured I went with the more cycling friendly country.
Finally, a perfect low round for me

Damn, if it wasn't for Armenia it would have been a perfect round on both sides. Still looking good overall though.

1. Name an italian car manufacturer.
Big points here for Ferrari with a 7, surely more than ones collected by them in F1 championship. Ferrari is also the only manufacturer that gives two points in the low round.
H | | L | | Ferrari | 7 | Ferrari | 2 | Lamborghini | 1 | Maserati | 1 | Dallara | 1 | Abarth | 1 | | | Fiat | 1 | | | Osella | 1 | | | Lamborghini | 1 | | | Pagani | 1 | | | Autobianchi | 1 |
2. Name a type of vehicle that needs a different license than car's one.
Two wheels for the best option with the motorbike, also the truck was a good shot just a point less.
In the low round the bus can carry more people than everything else. Quadsas get an invalid answer as the FIA superlicense actually isn't a type of vehicle.
H | | L | | Motorbike | 4 | Bus | 2 | Truck | 3 | Forklift | 1 | Tank | 1 | Tricycle | 1 | Airplane | 1 | Container ship | 1 | | | Airplane | 1 | | | Motorbike | 1 | | | Helicopter | 1 | | | Fia Superlicense | invalid |
3. Name a type of vehicle that's impossible to drive on tarmac.
Here the other round that gives 7 points with the boat. The sea is the absolute protagonist of this question, fulfilling all the table.
In the low round the boat is named twice, and we can count 3 invalid answers: jandal didn't name any vehicle, while Croatia and Quadsas choose two vehicles that definitely aren't undriveable on tarmac.
H | | L | | Boat | 7 | Boat | 2 | Jetski | 1 | Submarine | 1 | Kayak | 1 | Rocket | 1 | | | Tug Boat | 1 | | | Kayak | 1 | | | None of them use your immagination | invalid | | | Hovercraft | invalid | | | Dirt Racecar | invalid |
4. Name a bike component.
The wheel seems to be the most important part of a bike, in front of the chain. Gears, saddle and the cheaty "secret hidden motor" get 1.
In the low round only the saddle is double pointer.
H | | L | | wheel | 4 | Saddle | 2 | Chain | 2 | Pink streamers | 1 | Gears | 1 | Brakes | 1 | Saddle | 1 | Mudguard | 1 | Secret hidden motor | 1 | Pedal | 1 | | | Hidden motor | 1 | | | Gears | 1 | | | Suspension | 1 |
5. Assign a number of passengers you can carry with car license (included you).
5 people, is the common limit for a car, and takes the top, four and one behind with 2 points.
In the low round three players are unlucky with six passengers. Two for two points (have to say that two and half by TMM was somehow sugested that it's referred to a pregnant woman, following laws I consider that "one and half" person a single one, so two ).
jandal make the most from New Zealand's rules that impose a weight limit (and not number) with the basic license, calling an eleven.
H | | L | | five | 4 | six | 3 | four | 2 | two | 2 | one | 2 | seven | 1 | nine | 1 | eleven | 1 | | | one | 1 | | | three | 1 |
Overall
jandal takes the win with a perfect round, quadsas leads the group behind, one point over three players.
At the bottom Croatia and TMM (with a 5) who missed both 7 points questions.
After two wins in High rounds, Cunego takes a win also in low one, but the group is quite packed excluded players who gave invalid answers. jandal misses a "double perfect" with an abstention.
A 9 in the low round didn't preclude the win in the combined Hi-Lo to jandal. Imladrik is second 1 point behind, while on third place sit Cunego, Alex and Nemolito. TMM back with a negative valor, Croatia at 0 with a poor round.
Imladrik regain two points, reaching the top together with Cunego. Behind Nemolito is now just 6 points to the top. With his perfect round jandal is now closer to the middle-rank despite missed second round.
In the low round TMM again at the top, but Cunego is following by a mere point. Last place of the podium splitted by Nemolito and Alex.
Quadsas closes the classification, having collected invalid answers more than once.
Cunego continues with his solid path in both rankings, and leading the HiLo game, Imladrik isn't very far (just 3 points). Nemolito is third a bit more down. Deeper in the classification there is jandal, who took the worst score for the round he missed in the lows, allowing me to count him in the ranks. TMM goes under the sea level.

Another classic TMM-jandal IWS link-up with the hidden motor answers
24/02/21 - kandesbunzler said “I don't drink famous people."
15/08/22 - SotD said "Your [jandal's] humour is overrated"
11/06/24 - knockout said "Winning is fine I guess. Truth be told this felt completely unimportant."

Hehe, i was torn between motor & "The Skybot Computer". Obviously I made the right choice.

@trek
You suggested it was a pregnant woman, i suggested that "No officer, there's nothing to see in this bin bag. Just taking out the trash for Don Corleone."
I'm not wading into when an unborn child is alive or not! Far more wholesome mob style murder...

I've been doing fairly well by mostly going with the first thing that pops into my head, but missing wheels as a bike part was kinda stupid

I'd tell you how I imagined it, but "none of them use your imagination" was apparently also not a valid answer
24/02/21 - kandesbunzler said “I don't drink famous people."
15/08/22 - SotD said "Your [jandal's] humour is overrated"
11/06/24 - knockout said "Winning is fine I guess. Truth be told this felt completely unimportant."
