X-Metal Trivia

[xmetal40]

Nice! Couple of tricky questions tho.
20 - rimless or do not posses a full rim? Because there is an xmetal piece that has no rim but is not an "xmetal"
23 - implies that it has a flexible bridge?or because it has a solid nose bridge?

20 - based on there being 8 X-Metal models, which frame(s) does not possess full top and bottom metal orbitals?

23 - solid nose bridge

I think you mean semi-rimless rather than rimless. Everyone is thinking the Why 3s for rimless, but I don't think that's what you mean.
