Sorry, I was not aware the rules of this quiz. I did indeed receive a message from Zamfir, but didn't act on it as my H3 knowledge was very rusty and I didn't know I was supposed to do anything with it. Here's what the original message from Zamfir said:
Quote: Here are my answers:
H3 Knowledge Quiz
-The Temple of Ashan-
1. My speed is unique, I am unupgraded, I am neither a peasant nor an angel, version 1.4.
2. Cheapest battle spell, version 2.2
There are many combat spells with a verry little cost, and hero skills or creature abilities can reduce this cost even further.
The lowest cost of a combat spell cast by a hero is 2. (A hero with expertise in a magic school and with an archmage stack in his/her army casts
a spell belonging to the respective magic school with the lowest possible cost-5). However there are creatures that cast spells for free. They are:
Death or Dread Knights (Curse)
Mummie (curse)
Unicorns or ar Unicorns (Blind)
Serpent or Dragon Flies (Dispell)
3. Which skill has the most specialized heroes?
The Eagle Eye is the skill with the most specialized heroes.
4. Most expensive neutral unit, version 1.4
The Ballista is the most expensive neutral unit in HoMM III, version 1.4. It costs 2500 Gold.
5. Name all possible artefacts a hero could have equipped so the opponent can't successfully cast "blind" on a unit on the battlefield?
If the a hero has the following artefacts equipped, the opponent can't successfully cast "blind" on a unit on the battlefield:
-Pendant of Second Sight or
-Orb of Inhibition or
-Badge of Courage or
-Power of the Dragon Father (-Crown of Dragontooth
-Necklace of Dragonteeth
-Dragon Wing Tabard
-Red Dragon Flame Tongue
-Dragon Scale Shield
-Quiet Eye of the Dragon
-Still Eye of the Dragon
-Dragonbone Greaves
-Dragon Scale Armor)
6. How can I eleminate the movement penalty in the desert?
The Desert equals the Sand Terrian. There are several ways to eliminate the sand penalties:
-A hero having a nomad stack in his army doesn't suffer sand terrian pealties.
-A hero wielding the Angel Wings suffers no terrian penlties (and subsequently suffers no sand terrian penlties).
-A hero with Advanced Pathfinding suffers no terrian penalties.
7. No one can hit more units in the first round of a battle than me....day 1 week 1
An armaggedon spell. It can hit 20 units on the battlefield in the first round of a battle. (considering war machines as units).
8. Which spell(s) can't be "magic mirrored" by a Fairy Dragon if casted "on" them?
Firstly, the Faire Dragon can't "mirror" spells that don't have an appropiate target in the enemy army. For example, a hero
having only Titan stacks can cast a mind spell on some Faire Dragons without fear that they will "mirror" it. Secondly, then Faire
Dragons can't "mirror" an area-attack spell that (also) affects them.
9. What happens to a Titan if u throw him into the skeleton transformer of a Necropolis town?
If a Titan is thrown in a Necropolis's Skeleton Transformer, it becomes a Skeleton.
10. What's the highest possible score on a single player map played on 160% difficulty?
This score can be obtained if the following conditions are fulfilled:
- you find the Grail
- you defeat all the enemy players
- you owe at least 8 towns
- the division of town/days must be in acceptable limits.
11. I what quest you should the Spirit of Opression to a certain town?
In the first mission of the Long Live the King, A Gryphon's Heart, the necromancers must bring the Spirit of Opression to the
town of stonecastle. The spirit was needed for the ritual that will raise the dead king Nicholas Gryphonheart as the commander
of the Deyjan armies.
12. Name at least two ways to gain 2-5th level spells immediately.
13. With what towns do you begin with in the United Front quest?
United Front is the second mission from the Song of the Father campaign. In this mission, you control the armies of Erathia,
AvLee, Bracada, as well as the necromancers who have allied with you against the undead King Nicholas Gryphonheart. Subsequently,
you start with four towns: a castel town, a Rampart town, a Tower town and a Necropolis town.
14. Who was Gryphonheart?
The third-last known ruler of Erathia and the last known King, Nicolas Gryphonheart was born around the start of the 1110s A.S.
Nicolas inherited the throne of Erathia from his (unnamed) parentage and became famed throughout his reign for banishing the
Necromancers from his kingdom. Nicolas married Gwenllian in 1133 A.S. who gave birth to two daughters - Catherine that same year,
and Beatrice in 1140 A.S.
15. I'm a very dangerous creature; if you attack me I'll hit your friend. What am I?
There are more possibilities:
-The Faire Dragon, when "attacked" by a hero, has a chance to deflect the spell on an enemy-the hero's friend
-All multi-attack creatures, when hit by an enemy, have a retailation strike that also affects the attacker's friend if they are in range.
I'm still thinking at no. 1 and no. 12. All the others are answered.
And, btw, did you picked your kit number?
Here's a shot showing the date:

What will happen now?

Thanks to Alcibiades for clarifying this issue. I calculated the score for the team of zamfir with the answers given in this post above.
His score is 17. Same score as JoonasTo.
To have an appropriate ranking (1st, 2nd, 3rd), I will send a HCM to Joonas and Zamfir which contains 3 more questions. Both have time till thursday evening (10 pm GMT +1.00) to send me the answers.
The one with more correctly answered questions will be placed on 2nd place, while the other will be 3rd.
1st place is untouched, this will remain to Skeleton_King and his team.
____________
Better judged by 12 than carried by 6.

So the time is over, both teams (Zamfir and JoonasTo) have sent me their responses to my 3 additional questions.
Here are the 3 questions and the correct answers:
1. I am looking for a Non-miscellaneous artefact, which makes you able to cast a Non-level 5 spell. (version 1.4)Sea captain's hat
2. Name all artefacts (except tomes and scrolls) which place a spell in a hero's spellbook. (version 4.0)spellbinder's hat, armageddon's blade, titan's thunder, admiral's hat, sea captain's hat
3. Which range unit has the most shots? (version 4.0)balista (endless..![](images/smilies/wink.gif)
The winner of this "extra time" quiz is the team of JoonasTo, coz they answered no.1 and no.2 correctly, while Zamfir's team missed armageddon's blade and admiral's hat in question no.2
So the final ranking for this HC olympics discipline looks like this:
1. Skeleton_King
2. JoonasTo
3. Zamfir
Congrats
