Answer the following questions.

1. Fencer X has two warnings. While retreating, he puts one foot completely off the end line of the fencing strip. His opponent attacks and misses. Fencer X then launches and lands a valid counter attack.

2. In foil, fencer X launches a triple advance lunge attack that lands on valid target. As fencer X begins his first advance, fencer Y establishes a point-in-time and makes two retreats with the lime. Fencer X runs onto fencer Y’s point but also manages to hit fencer Y.

3. In foil, Fencer X makes a simple and correct advance-lunge while Fencer Y, who has been waiting to time X’s action, immediately extends his arm before the start of X’s lunge. Both fencers hit valid at the same time. Who scores?

4. In his first bout, Fencer X receives a yellow card for bringing a weapon to the strip that does not pass the weight test. After bringing a new and legal weapon to the strip, fencing continues. With the score now tied at 4 to 4 Fencer X jostles his opponent during an action in which there is no point scored.

5. How much weight must an electric foil (or epee, depending on your weapon) push back to be legal?
