Guessing Game Results are Out!!

The 2nd CST Bike Challenge has been an enormous success with over 100 riders participating in India, China, Mexico, US, UK , Germany and France.

At the same time the Guessing Game proved to be extremely popular at all sites with about 2,500 guesses.

I believe that many of us were calculating the distances in great detail and judging by the quality of your guesses, I conclude that we have some fantastic mathematical minds across the organization!!

The cumulated distance covered by all CST bike riders and badminton players is 12,339 Kilometres.

This is the equivalent of:
  • A round trip Shanghai – Bangalore
  • 1,3 times Strasbourg – Moorpark
… and way beyond our initial objective of  9,500 Kilometres (Eric will soon be accusing us of sand bagging).

Consequently we are very pleased to announce that the following people made the most accurate guesses and will receive an iPad Mini each:


Marco Antonio Lopez Rubio
CST TJ

Julio Gomez Jimenez

  • Andy Yu

  • Lonny Louie 
CST France:
  • Christian

The Organization team would like to congratulate the winners and thank all participants for their active support and generosity.

Have a great day.
