- The Winner of Unite the Nations, is the school with the highest number of correct Answers.
More rules…
- Should two schools finish equally (‘in a tie’) then the “time” factor will determine the overall winner: Of the tied schools, the school that finished their test in the shortest time…submitted their answers on line will be the winner for having completed the most number of correct answers in the shortest time.
- Again time is only a factor IF TWO or more schools complete the test with the exact same number of correct answers. Otherwise it is simply a matter of the most correct answers wins the competition.
- One overall winner is congratulated and announced and the top ten finalists are posted on the web site.
- Most important of all HAVE FUN learning about one another and the countries we all come from.
Good luck with Unite the Nations!

Hello everyone,
Time 2010 is soon, very soon. It’s nice to see we still have gathered so much people and schools in such short amount of time.
Now, as every year, outside the VC’s, we’re also going to play the game ‘Unite The Nations’ again.
“Unite the Nations, an interactive game about and between countries, challenges students to take a closer look at their own culture as well as foreign cultures. Students create multiple choice questions on geography, history, social issues, arts and sports in their country. Within 24 hours they virtually race against each other and time in answering questions on other countries.”
Every school needs to make about 3-4 questions about a few subjects (like sports, arts, geography, history or social issues), if they can. We’ll collect all the questions and release them on 0:00 UTC. From then, every school has 24 hours to answer the questions as fast as they can.
So, if your school hasn’t made those questions already, make sure to do so soon! The official deadline is tomorrow (though we can still add questions after that time, but before tomorrow would be better).
Important facts:
- Send the questions to timeproject@fuen.nl. That’s the adress we’ll gather all questions on.
- On 0:00 UTC, the ‘game’/question list will be released and put online on timeproject.org, timeproject.ning.com and saltychip.com (search for ‘time project’). You can fill in the answers on the URL you find there, or you can print out all questions first and send them in by mail/fax. If there are any schools who need to recieve the questions via fax, please let us know!
More information and an extended ‘manual’, you’ll find in the PDF i attached to this e-mail.
Thanks! We’re awaiting your questions! And if you have any questions about the game, don’t hesitate to let us know!
