I know that because I am preparing a presentation I am going to give to the radio club of which I am a member.

 

Ummm... a question... Remember no googling or searching the web...

 

Where would you find the Kármán line?

Fairly sure that ii) would be the Liberty Bell, reasonably confident that xi) is now SCOPE, and taking a plump for the 'obvious' that Buckingham House simply got renamed 'Palace' when a previous monarch moved in

And Paul you are a very naughty boy with the remaining one, but it did make me laugh. (I had to look that one up though)

ix) Liberty

 

I am wondering if you are being a bit crafty here Paul, I thought Liberty was the new name for NCCL (Natonal Council for Civil Liberties), unless of course it has now become something else completely?!

 

Edit to add: I have now scrolled up and see this is not what you are looking for!

) Cherilyn Sarkisian Ding for Izzy and the Lizard King - Cher

ii) Old State House Bell DONG! for Sharpeset - Liberty Bell

iii) James Harries Ding for Dorsetgal - Lauren Harries

iv) Reginald Kenneth Dwight Ding for Izzy and the Lizard King - Elton John

v) Godwin Austin Double Ding for Ayondin for spotting my (cough) deliberate mistake! - K2

vi) Marathon Ding for Izzy and the Lizard King - Snickers

vii) Gordon Sumner Ding for Izzy and the Lizard King - Sting

viii) Kristiania Ding for 2202 - Oslo

ix) Liberty *Clue: Not the statue of liberty or National Council for Civil Liberties (NCCL)... OR Liberia or The Naturist Society*

x) British Honduras Ding for MartyBartfast - Belize

xi) Spastics Society Ding for Sharpeset (sorry kbootb) - Scope

xii) New Amsterdam Ding for Izzy and the Lizard King - New York

xiii) Mary Ann (Marian) Evans Ding for chizu - George Eliot

xiv) Buckingham House Ding for Sharpeset - Buckingham Palace (the original house is still in the fabric)

xv) Anthoonij van Diemenslandt Ding for Pharisee - Tasmania

 

Given there were some rather easy ones, I think the final, official Ding should go to whoever can answer what the ex-Liberty is now called, rather than Izzy and the Lizard King. So, who will our lucky winner be? :blink:

A final DING! for the newcomer. Well done harryhotspur - Over to you for the next 'pub quiz' level question. :wub:

 

Just to recap the rules (which I'm not suggesting have been broken!) - There's no online searching for answers, but you can ask friends. They (or you) can check books, but not look online for you. Looking on geocaching.com for caching-related questions (there have been some!) is ok though.

Have they buried her yet?

She was originally embalmed, then emigrated (?) when Peron fled Argentina......

Oh Yes. They buried her in Milan and then several years later they moved her body to Buenos Aires and buried her there. I don't know the name of the cemetery though.

 

P

Aaaah - didn't know she was buried in Milan - thought Peron just stored her there.....

 

Has she definitely been buried? And not just laid to rest somewhere?

In La Recoleta Cemetery, in an a bombproof mausoleum. This cemetery also has the Duchess of York's mum buried there.

 

Ding there, it is quite an emotional place as some of the site is really well kept but some is run down with cats running in and out of the tombs

 

Sorry could have said laid to rest in her burial vault

 

I think you would still use the term buried though.

The summer Olympics is currently (by rule) 28 sports, but that translates to considerably more events. Some sports only have one or two events, e.g. the marathon, has one ladies race, one mens race, but other sports have considerably more than two events. Sheer guess at 200 events?

Does swimming = 1 sport? But there seems to be endless events, every time I have watched Olympics it seems to be swimming.

This looks like fun... how long would it take us to name all the sports (no googling). If it were my quiz I'd only allow one sport per person to stop some clever whatsit naming all 28 (assuming Dorsetgal is correct, and who am I to doubt).

 

I've chucked in swimming....next?

 

But then again it's not my quiz.
