Ahora con las posibles respuestas que proponía Pirelli. elegir una es más fácil que partir desde cero. De momento les pongo una foto del premio aquí, por si al verlo les entran más ganas de jugar.
Quienes respondan, digan también, por favor, si prefieren que donemos el premio a alguien con necesidades de calzado, si lo sorteamos entre todos ustedes, si se lo adjudicamos directamente a Sibarita del coito o a quien acierte más respuestas correctas (Este era el criterio de Pirelli)
