I’ve got just a second to pop in and tell you, **dorkusmalorkusmafia** , that I Googled her screen name, and found the product review she submitted for it. I know what Adridne does for a living, and the review mentioned it. I haven’t got a new question just yet. Would someone else like to take my turn? ---

I nominate **missing\_link** to provide the interim question, as he/she was the only other person to offer a guess on the last question. Do I hear a second? ---

If noone else wants to pose the next question, then I’ll do it. Just give me some time to come up with something. ---

So, where am I going to be next Wednesday (17th Dec) evening? I checked, although you will have to visit sites in german, only a minuscule amount of german is needed. If you still need a word translated just post, pm or mail me and I’ll translate. ---

Sorry that’s not it, clues can be found on the internet, it can be done without a lot of guessing. Hint:My email adress helps ---

Attending the Executive Committee meeting of an organization of university students in Zurich? maybe that’s too obvious. ---

amendment: the obvious bit meant that I’ve sort of given up…no aspersions intended towards your clue giving. ---

**lt180ml** , don’t give up now, you are almost there. Your answer is pretty close. Just one more step needed. Hint: The site you probably found is about a “parent” organization of students clubs of Zurich, I am a member of one of them. So… ---

How about : 17. Dezember - Fondueessen im StuZ: Sturmius: Das Fondueessen dieses Wintersemester traegt den Namen Sturmius - neben guenstigem Weisswein und klasse Stimmung gibts natuerlich gratis Fondue ohne Ende This is of course assuming that you are a member of [The Association of the Mathematicians and Physicist](http://www.vmp.ethz.ch/?nav_id=1) (which meet on a Wednesday between 13.00 and 15.00). If not, it looks like you will be missing out on the free Fondue and I will have to go back to my searches 😃 ---

Pity, I am neither a mathematician nor a physicist. Seems I am missing out on that, although I am a mechanical engineer, so I might be able to pass myself off as a physicist 😃 But search on, I’ll drop another hint later in the afternoon. ---

**Missing\_link** , perhaps you refer to the shooting sports organization that has activities listed on the website. Which would mean that on Wednesday you’ll be at the range for target practice? ---

Hm, no, but I give a big hint, the name of the specific students organization I belong to is written near my name. Now if you can find out where we will be next Wednesday then you got it. ---

Mi 17 December, 20,00 c.t. Trunk, RH beer-resounds Postadresse: KB der Glanzenburger, Postfach, 8025 Zürich Postfachnummer (nicht in Adressanschrift verwenden): 716 Is this close enough? The first line is Google’s semi-translated version of what the event is, and I believe the rest is the mailing address of the location of the event. Since your question was where is it, I hope this is enough, but I have to admit I still have no clue what you’ll be doing there. ---

Hooray, we have a winner. It is correct. We from the students organization get together there once a week and have some beer and chat around. ---

Here’s the next problem: What does my screen name refer to? Post a link to a picture and/or brief description of the answer. No other hints just now since many of you seem to be quite fast with this sort of thing. ---

New question: Find me online! Anywhere! Post any link to any website that has my name. (it’s somewhat common, so it has to actually be ME, not a basketball player or anything.)
