[FredGarvin]

The Wright Brothers flew their glider in 1903.

 

[Ivan Seeking]

Something that happened in Ohio?

Yes, but since Wolram is still up I just post my answer.

The first two car crash occurred in Ohio in 1903. They had been the only two cars in the state at the time.

Unlikely but true, the two cars had to be in the same place at the same time, hence the four coordinates, but the third, altitude, is determined by the first two when confined to the Earth's surface. The four sets of numbers given next were the approx latitude and longitude of the four corners of the state of Ohio.

[wolram]

Do you have to be British to get these clues?

I don't think so.
You have the green, you have said what it is a few posts back, in your list.
now all you have to do is say which specific one it is.

 

[wolram]

fly fishing; the caster (is that what it's called?) flies and has no wings.

You said your question was easy! That's the hardest question I've seen. Phew. Lots of fun though. Okay, now I need to think...

Ah, great, I have to leave. Someone else can take over.

 

[brewnog]

Very good wolram, very good!

Honest, Europe.

 

[wolram]

Very good wolram, very good!

Honest, Europe.

Thanke kind sir, is that a clue?

 

[brewnog]

Honest, Europe.

Thanke kind sir, is that a clue?

Nope, I was saying "honestrosewater, you're up!"

Obviously far too cryptic...

 

[Gokul43201]

Obviously far too cryptic...

But hardly unexpected...

 

[Ivan Seeking]

Moonbear is still due a question.

 

[honestrosewater]

Moonbear is still due a question.

What is with that- she's always due a question... Well, I'm here and ready.

America and China have this in common, though America's is bigger.

 

[brewnog]

A space programme?

 

[honestrosewater]

No, this is something only America and China have.

BTW, I mean the US, not the Americas, if there's any confusion.

 

[honestrosewater]

China may lose theirs soon.

 

[honestrosewater]

Alligators?

 

[zoobyshoe]

I'm very curious as to why you are guessing answers to your own question.

 

[brewnog]
