Hello everyone.

Many apologies for the lateness of the quiz this week. However, better late than never, so here we are and I'll leave it open a bit longer too.

Your challenge today is to defeat my colleague from the Tech Experts team, Nampreet Singh.

Our Tech Experts (support teams) are split into two Desktop teams and two Server teams. You've already competed against one Desktop team lead (Andrea) - now you can take on the other, Nampreet.

The location, as always, is: https://demos-safe-software.fmecloud.com/fmeserver/apps/FMEQuiz

Note: In case you can't see the image properly, at the top of that page, here it is:The question is... what year is that World Tour t-shirt from? Do you know?

Again a pretty low result. Only 2...

I need to replenish my luck!!


This must've been my lowest score while still outscoring your colleague. 😕


2/6 :( Still better than @nampreetatsafe

Question for you @mark2atsafe: at the bottom of the results screen I see this

You submitted answers yadayada to quiz number 25 on 12th April, 2020 at 07:56:09 under the username redgeographics

The date seems to be off... It's the 22nd.

(I edited my answers out of course, although with my low score I doubt they'll be of much use anyway...)

It's now the 14th April...

Can confirm that I also got some seemingly random day in April.

That is very odd. The timestamp in the system is 20200422075609 so I must be interpreting it wrong somehow. Thanks. I'll check into that.

So did I. That's how I got the idea for the question!

Did all those years have T-shirts? Because i'm missing a few.

Your timestamp is 20200422084102 - so I'm not sure where that date is coming from. Still it got the month, year, hour, minutes, seconds correct, so that's 5/6. That's good, right?!


This must've been my lowest score while still outscoring your colleague. 😕

Definitely not one of my proudest moments.... will have to redeem ourselves next time ;)


5/6. Pretty good.

Must be because I slept in one of my FME WT T-shirts last night (the one with the FME Super Heroes comic).


Well, that was interesting. The day-of-the-month attribute, was being overwritten by the number-of-entries attribute. So if the response said you entered on the 18th, then you were actually the 18th person to enter.

Which is really odd, because it must mean that this has never worked, and yet no-one has noticed until today!

Anyway, the good news is that it was my fault, and datetime handling in FME hasn't suddenly gone crazy.

It should work now, so keep an eye on it next week!

That's a very good question. I'll post a picture of all the ones I have when I post the answers. I don't think very many had the list of dates on the back, and some are undated but have a certain year's screenshot. So it's going to be hard to tell.

This is the earliest one I have, not a spoiler since it wasn't an option.

I've got 5 shirts, 2 have cities and dates, 1 has cities only and the other 2 nothing on the back.

Very good. That was the top overall score.
