When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

Ulrike MacKay
: Ja, aber bitte "eine rund 80 Meter lange Rutsche" (BITTE nicht "79 Meter" - in Kochbüchern gibt es auch nichts Schlimmeres als "459,6 g Putenfleisch"...) // deshalb "eine RUND 80 Meter lange R." - da kann keiner meckern! ;-)

Danke, ihr habt absolut recht - meine Ergänzung um die Längenangabe sollte auch kein Übers.-Vorschlag sein, sondern nur zusätzl. Info - allerdings wäre die Rutsche so um 1 m länger, als sie ist ... ob das so okay wäre?

: Mit Tanja + Ulrike. Das ist durchaus ein wichtiger Übersetzungsvorschlag. Die 260 Fuß (79,24 m) sind garantiert auch nur gerundet, und kein Mensch wird auf die Idee kommen, so etwas nachzumessen bzw. zu reklamieren.
