Winning option:250,000 or more liters As another Oktoberfest closed in Munich on Monday, local officials trotted out another batch of superlatives for what has become one of Germany's best-known cultural events.

Among the most notable: 7.5 million litres of beer consumed (half a million more than in 2010); 6.9 million visitors; and only 58 fights involving the traditional mugs, or steins, popular at the fest (down from 62 the year before).
