Today is the day when I finish my 16 days long quiz. The answer to the last question you can find here.
It was really a fun to me even if I had to spend much much more time with it then before. But it was worth. 33 of you took part in my game and during this more then two weeks I have got more then 230 comments altogether which is great honour to me! THANK YOU!
The questions were very easy at times (at the beginning just to comment meant a point) at times too hard. Mostly (but not always) I choosed questions related to history of my country or city because I just love history.:) Thats why my today’s photo is also a historical one, from the early 1900′s on the Blaha Lujza sqaure in Budapest.
And now…..finally….the result of the game. Who will get the Szamos Marcipan?:)

Day of Márton in Hungary. Comes from the Latin Martinus which means: like the god Mars.
szabadság tér

Szabadság tér (Freedom square). This is the soviet monument remembering the unknown soldiers died while they liberated/occupided (everyone can choose the right word after his/her political view)Hungary. The fence is around it because the rioters damaged the monument and now its not allowed to get there. The white building behind the monument is the Inter-Europa Bank and I guess they made a great job renovating that building. And in the distance you can see the roof of the parliament building. Actually this is the same square where Harry Hill’s (not the Brittish comedian) statue is located. 

————————–

Today is the last day of my quiz. Tomorrow we will know who gets the Szamos Marcipan.:) The last question is not easy at all. My surname is Bugarszki..(say: Bugarski)

What is the origin of the surname Bugarszki:A, Its a Hungarian name which means: comes from Bugarszk
B, Its an old Polish surname
C, Its Macedono-Bulgarian name

The right answer to the previous question is: B, The Turul visible in the Palace of Buda
The taurus is a Greek symbol and the Lion is widely used on old buildings but the Turul (which is an eagle) is the ancient symbol.
