VP: Finncon 1999 / Quote Battle

... Pasi "Albert" Ojalan kilpailu

Itse puuttuvien sanojen lisäksi piti myös tietää, ketkä keskustelivat ja missä jaksossa. Kilpailu oli siis vaikeusasteeltaan riittävä. Maksimipistemäärä oli 184, ja ensimmäiset sijoitukset jakautuivat seuraavasti:

142 Pohjois-otaniemeläisten WP-joukkue, jotka voittavat suorituksellaan nimikkeen: "Elämättömimmät B5-fanit 1999".
101 Teemu Palkin uskomaton yhden miehen joukkue, joka osoittaa nykyajan nuorison olevan aivan yhtä toivotonta kuin mitä me olimme 80-luvulla. Hyvä Teemu!
78 Tampereen tynkä-WP-joukkue, joka ei ole vieläkään palannut tuolin alta häpeämästä.
Alla kupli useita joukkueita hyvin lähellä toisiaan.
