Forum Game - Where's That Landmark?

Andre

Algarrobo, Chile,

This appears to be the exact one

Looks nice, Edward, I wish i had the signal to play. With bad signal and not having read the thread lately I hadn't known your views on the game and wonder what you had meant by tie-break

edward

Actually tie break was Andre's term. xunxine was the definite winner. I was just close behind.

edward

You made that look so easy.

Borek

Googling for images of "pool pyramid" gives it on the second page. It WAS easy

Jonathan Scott

Googling for "pyramid pool" gave it on the first page.

edward

LOL I found it while looking for parts for my swimming pool online. Sorry it was so obvious.

Andre

Well I tried several things before 'pool'

Next one coming up.

Ok, I was going by Andre's description of merely quoting you and had seen two Quote boxes, in that post, one left unsourced. If that corresponds with Pf normal the quote remains unsourced.

Andre

Meanwhile, a closer look:

xunxine

Hey all, I feel so terrible... My internet connection right now is just not helpful. Sorry to disrupt the game. Great to see that it's moved on just fine.

Hope to join in again soon but I guess I can only watch passively now.

Will Andre reveal the origins of the quotation he used to reinforce his proposal to act? Which by presentation/misrepresentation gave the impression Edward was responsible.

Andre

Sure, sorry Fi, I wasn't thinking. I repeat the post here with quotations in blue/italics. But basically it was just a proposition to formalize how to act in case the game would stall due to the active poster being inhibited to continue.

That was a great one Andre I really enjoyed the search. My eight year old grandson was here yesterday and he cut the puzzle apart and put it toghether. It was a great learning experience for him.

My pleasure, Edward and there are plenty more where this is coming from

I pm-ed Xunxine yesterday but priorities/force majeure may impede her(?) to respond. I could throw in a tiebreaker later today if things stay quiet.

Maybe we should consider having something like a 24hour rule implemented; perhaps something like


The person who is up to post a next landmark is responsible to keep the thread going and should take action within 24 hrs, either to post a landmark or to give hints.

and

After 24/(48?) hrs of no activity (no hints) the current landmark is assumed to be void.

After that period anybody can put up a new landmark as tiebreaker. The tiebreaker should be a "class A" landmark

Or something similar.

edit
Hmm color and embedded link do not seem to like each other.

Nice pictures of lake Natron, Tanzania. The second picture is here.

Andre

Yes a remarkable place. The first picture is a screen cap of Google Earth, position 2°17'22.73"S 36° 0'8.14"E

See also this. I was working on the lesser flamingo as hint.

Your turn.
