Linguistics Olympiad

Close

From the answers

I think the question is a little poorly worded - the "oldest" descendant of an immigrant is Jon Oddsson Bergmann - Bergmann is a German name and does not follow the Icelandic naming pattern (-son -dottir). You identified the right place in the tree that an immigrant entered anyway

But Jon's "Bergmann" ancestry could be his father, grandfather, mother (maybe?)

Can you spot the change to the tree that makes question 5 possible?

Summary

Well then question 1 is poorly worded. There's a big difference in older and oldest.

Question 5. Almost there, but not quite.

Flipping Icelandic Kinship

Icelandic Kinship

By assuming Sigurdur's spouse is absent, we can marry Gunnar to Rakel, giving them children Robert and Stefan. This info wasn't clear from the problem, but the only possible way to answer question 5 - one of Gunnar's children inherited his name and not Rakel's, which makes question 5 possible.

Saw these. Brutal. Absolutely brutal.

The first one looks really hard.
The second one doesn't make any sense to me.

Possible hint:

Is it a number system in base 20? Or base 16?
