i would have got ZERO POINTS!!!
thanks for the contest…
im impressed by those who won!!
;o)
ps. the internet cafes are way too slow to answer in JUST 20 mins here also LOL. ;o)) x
“These are questions for men”
I don’t agree either!The Godfather is a classic!
a true classic, I do agree.Marlon did such a good job of it…barely audible however the vibes still came through.
wish i couldve been part of the contest. but i barely know the answers.(smiles)
congratulations to the winners!
(im still saving up to buy “the winner stands alone”, i hope i could buy it by mid-september!)
namaste,
xara
Again I was too sleepy…God. I wake up early, and I could not stay, here was 11pm… But, I saw I would answer most part of questions easily, well, one or two not . The one with Godfather, and the one with score, I did nopt know…
Thank you anyways, I see that I had some chances, maybe…
You put the stuff with Madonna, and I talked about here in WOL…
Ok, hope the person who took the book will enjoy the reading.
Love
Alexandra
Oh, is Romania…not Rumania.ok
bye bye
Don’t you think that it was a little bit difficult?
Maybe I didn’t know it at time but now I have a question… did you do another contest in spanish before?
Although I didn’t know the answers, I was wondering, if this kind of contest are just in english or portuguese, or maybe there is other link to read your blog in spanish (that don’t be by google translator) I mean, could there be a contest to people who speak spanish?
Thanks and still writing so well!!
Kind regards
yes I noted a few teams are not participating? ..just curiious
Dear Paulo,
Thanks for this wonderful contest.!!! I love you Paulo. Today I was able to find your new book I AM REALLY HAPPPY :-) You are sooooo wonderful to your readers. I feel you are really close to me.
Bye Bye and God bless you.
Dear Paulo!
Congratulations to the successful contest! It was fun to be part of it even though I didn’t get many answers right.
I really admire your courage and how you keep your word.
If I remember correctly, your website was brought down by a hacker attack a while back, so I assume that the security measure that made the contest at your blog on Sunday impossible was there for a reason.
I do not know many people who would be willing to expose their vulnerability in order to keep their word.Now I understand even better why you are such an inspiration to so many people, including myself. It is not only because of your beautiful words but also because of your actions.
With deepest respect,
Petra
Peninha que não pude participar hoje, pois estava no trabalho. Mas pelas perguntas vi que estava mais difícil que ontem.

Olá…. achei sua ideia sensacional…. Eu amo livros e essa paixão começou a alguns anos quando li pela primeia vez “MARKTUB” indicado por um professor para insentivar a leitura e comigo deu muito certo, porque me apaixonei por livros e hoje eles são meus passa tempo…. seus livros todos que leio me surpriendo mas ainda….
porque eles tocam na alma da pessoa e hoje sou sua seguidora…
sempre que vou na livraria e tem seus livros… sempre levo um..
e esta sendo assim desde então….
pedi, e receberás.
Procure e encontrarás.
Bate, e a porta se abrirá Porque quem pede, recebe
e quem procura, acha, quem bate, a porta se abre… bjooooo

Good Luck everyone!
Interesting questions – not very easy to google ;-) guess that may have been intetional! Good luck everyone xx
nice questions, nice game :)
btw, I’ve read all your books, they are nice to read on the beach under the shadow of a straw umbrella. Read the last one 2 months ago. Interesting point of view. You’ve been philosophical regarding meaning of life, destiny, etc, but completely ignorant about actual life, and this is what happens in nature in reality in my opinion. Very often we take many things for granted and forget that we’re visitors and our lives were given by the big boss upstairs :)
all the best :)
Qualquer ajuda qu eprecise, estou á disposição para ajudar de alguma forma.
Optchá.
