Forum Game - Where's That Landmark?


No room for much doubt, I think, so I'm bodly proceeding. The next landmark looks a lot like a real random rock, so obviously it's another hint game.



Therefore the first hint right away:

I hope you don't mind, Borek, to be a hint. Well, it promotes you to a prime.

This is page 1 of my image google.com result, using that hint.

Now if the landmark had happened to be this or this, then the hint could have been this:

It's not all that easy though, suppose that you wanted to use this as a hint:



then you'd have to settle for this as only candidate for a landmark.

Just to make sure, the code was the periodical table of elements. But you all knew that, didn't you?

...provided that you see the imaginary Polonium Hydroxide in PoOH
or the non existing 'Phospor monoxide hydroxide' .

Likewise can be seen as Boron Oxygen Rhenium Potassium. Combined they form a prime number.

I guess Christmas is not the right time for puzzling.

Anyway one more try, so if we take from this hint

to be 'Polonium Hydroxide", 'Po OH', then the reverse Lisab 'code' would get us: 84 8 1, or 8481 so if we google that, we see that landmark of the hint on page 1 (12th hit for me). Also notice that the same number is in the url of the pic.

B O Re K ranks 5 8 75 19 giving 587519 as prime number which googles this. The landmark is now the second hit.

Incidently, it's surprising how few names in PF can be transferred into a landmark this way. So I'm afraid this choice was rather by elimination.

I guess that's it for this thread. What did I do wrong?

It might have been a bit too complicated Or we all got a bit lazy. I got all hung up on that cast iron antique coat hanger

The landmark is a fascinating place:

This landmark is not intended as art primarily, it has a useful function.

Many thousands of Americans have been in the country of the landmark but yet a search in this thread with its name yields zero results.
