+Happy Paddlers Posted June 19, 2008 Posted June 19, 2008 I'll post a new question tomorrow around noon (eastern). Quote
+Couparangus Posted June 19, 2008 Author Posted June 19, 2008 Okay this one has stalled. I Googled the answer and don't quite see the Georelevance, so I'm going to ask the next question. :D Q: What do these countries have in common? Bolivia, Colubia, Nicaragua, Saudi Arabia & the Philipines. Quote
lewis82 Posted June 19, 2008 Posted June 19, 2008 They are all near the Equator? Or, The Equator passes through their territory? Quote
danoshimano Posted June 19, 2008 Posted June 19, 2008 Q: What do these countries have in common? Bolivia, Colubia, Nicaragua, Saudi Arabia & the Philipines. They all don't have very many geocaches? Quote
Mag Magician Posted June 19, 2008 Posted June 19, 2008 Quick guess. They don't allow geocaching? Quote
+willowbrookfarm Posted June 19, 2008 Posted June 19, 2008 Okay this one has stalled. I Googled the answer and don't quite see the Georelevance, so I'm going to ask the next question. Q: What do these countries have in common? Bolivia, Colubia, Nicaragua, Saudi Arabia & the Philipines. They're coffee producing countries. Quote
+Juicepig Posted June 20, 2008 Posted June 20, 2008 Q: What do these countries have in common? Bolivia, Colubia, Nicaragua, Saudi Arabia & the Philipines. They are all inhabited by humans... except of course Colubia, which is only inhabited by Colubs and pygmy platupii Quote
+Trucker Lee Posted June 20, 2008 Posted June 20, 2008 All the names are hard to pronounce when you've had a "snoot full". Quote
+Couparangus Posted June 23, 2008 Author Posted June 23, 2008 I didn't notice that I'd mis-spelled Columbia! Shame on me. Nobody was close, so I'll give you a hint. What were they named after? Don't think too deep here!! Quote
+Bullfrog Eh-Team Posted June 23, 2008 Posted June 23, 2008 I didn't notice that I'd mis-spelled Columbia! Shame on me. Nobody was close, so I'll give you a hint. What were they named after? Don't think too deep here!! Perhaps the mis-spelling hasn't been corrected yet ? Quote
+Happy Paddlers Posted June 23, 2008 Posted June 23, 2008 Bolivia: named for General Simon Bolivar who led the fight against Spain Colombia : named for Christopher Columbus Nicaragua : No idea. Saudia Arabia : named after King Saud who unified many of the Arab tribes Philippines : Named for Spain's King Phillip Quote
+bobbarley Posted June 23, 2008 Posted June 23, 2008 Q: What do these countries have in common? Bolivia, Colubia, Nicaragua, Saudi Arabia & the Philipines. I recall Bolivia is named after Simon Bolivar or something like that. Could they all be named after people? The founders perhaps? Quote
+bobbarley Posted June 23, 2008 Posted June 23, 2008 (edited) Bolivia: named for General Simon Bolivar who led the fight against Spain Colombia : named for Christopher Columbus Nicaragua : No idea. Saudia Arabia : named after King Saud who unified many of the Arab tribes Philippines : Named for Spain's King Phillip Great minds think alike. His is just faster!

+Couparangus Posted July 3, 2008 Author Posted July 3, 2008 Happy Paddlers has it! They were countries all named after actual *people*. ...As opposed to countries named after a mispronounced native word for settlement. Quote
+Happy Paddlers Posted July 3, 2008 Posted July 3, 2008 What do all these countries have in common? Colombia, South Africa, Indonesia, Nicaragua, and Australia? Quote
CharlieZulu Posted July 3, 2008 Posted July 3, 2008 They all end in "a", and you can't say I'm wrong. Quote
+Happy Paddlers Posted July 3, 2008 Posted July 3, 2008 They all end in "a", and you can't say I'm wrong. True...but not what I was thinking of. Quote
+Couparangus Posted July 6, 2008 Author Posted July 6, 2008 Better give us a hint to point us in the right drection! Quote
+Happy Paddlers Posted July 7, 2008 Posted July 7, 2008 It's something to do with their geography. Quote
+Happy Paddlers Posted July 7, 2008 Posted July 7, 2008 That's it! They all border two oceans. Take it away dragonflys. Quote
+dragonflys Posted July 8, 2008 Posted July 8, 2008 not very good at this so I will do an easy one what is Canada's oldest incorporated city? It surprised me. Quote
Mag Magician Posted July 8, 2008 Posted July 8, 2008 not very good at this so I will do an easy one what is Canada's oldest incorporated city? It surprised me. If it surprised you then it must not be Quebec City. Quote
+JDandDD Posted July 8, 2008 Posted July 8, 2008 I think its Saint John's Newfoundland & Labrador. Seems they said that when we visited two years ago. JD Quote
Mag Magician Posted July 8, 2008 Posted July 8, 2008 (edited) not Quebec city or St. John's Actually, it would be St. John. Notice the spelling difference? I was born in Fredericton, so the spelling does make a difference, to me at least. Edited July 8, 2008 by Team Magic Quote
+dragonflys Posted July 8, 2008 Posted July 8, 2008 Saint John NB you got 'er TM not Quebec city or St. John's Actually, it would be St. John. Notice the spelling difference? I was born in Fredericton, so the spelling does make a difference, to me at least. Quote
Mag Magician Posted July 8, 2008 Posted July 8, 2008 Saint John NB you got 'er TM OK, another fairly easy one for the serious explorers. With only your own smarts, and the sun, how would you estimate the height of a cliff before attempting the climb? Quote
+The red-haired witch Posted July 9, 2008 Posted July 9, 2008 Saint John NB you got 'er TM OK, another fairly easy one for the serious explorers. With only your own smarts, and the sun, how would you estimate the height of a cliff before attempting the climb? I would stand in the sun outside the shadow of the cliff, look at how long my shadow is, then look at how long the shadow the cliff is casting is. (Obviously, this doesn't work if the cliff faces the sun). If the shadow of the cliff is twice as long as my shadow, then the cliff is twice my height. I may climb that if good holds are available... Anything higher than that and I'm not climbing without proper safety gear Quote

+The red-haired witch Posted July 10, 2008 Posted July 10, 2008 OK, next one to The red-haired witch. Oooops, I have to get it just when I'm about to lose Internet access for 4 days. An easy question then : In the Garmin line of GPS, the Colorado was the brand new thing to have last year. Now, rumors are floating of a new GPS coming soon, with a 3 inch touch screen, full Wherigo functionality and other drool inducing features. What's the name of this GPS? Quote

+SYOTT Posted July 10, 2008 Posted July 10, 2008 The oregon... or as alot will say - WHAT?!? I save my money for a Colorado only to have it surpassed less than a year later by the same company?!?!? Quote
+SYOTT Posted July 12, 2008 Posted July 12, 2008 Not sure what's going on, so I'll keep the ball rolling with another question... In what year did Halifax get Canada's first decorated English Christmas tree? Quote
+The red-haired witch Posted July 14, 2008 Posted July 14, 2008 The oregon... or as alot will say - WHAT?!? I save my money for a Colorado only to have it surpassed less than a year later by the same company?!?!? Yes, the Oregon. That was the correct answer. Are any of you still really suprised that electronic companies keep coming up with a new model every year? Computer, phone or GPS, it's been the pattern for a while now, and I don't think its gonna change (that is how they make money after all). Not sure what's going on, so I'll keep the ball rolling with another question... As I said in my post, no internet access for a few days. I'm back now, but I don't know the answer to your question Quote

+2happy2gether Posted July 16, 2008 Posted July 16, 2008 (edited) 1867 Only because Canada became a country that year. That's a trick question. Edited July 16, 2008 by 2happy2gether Quote
