Where is this? (Game)

system · February 18, 2005, 7:17am

Ok, time to narrow it down. Is it in the North of France?

system · February 18, 2005, 7:52am

Yes

10 to go.

system · February 18, 2005, 7:57am

So I guess we can just keep narrowing down. Is it north-east France?

system · February 18, 2005, 8:05am

Yes

system · February 18, 2005, 8:11am

So it is within 100 kms of Reims?

system · February 18, 2005, 8:29am

Tough one. But I have to say no from looking at a few maps

system · February 18, 2005, 8:30am

Is it the birthplace of someone famous?

That’s enough for me for a bit, let somebody else ask some questions.

system · February 18, 2005, 8:36am

NO

Well, I don’t know but that isn’t why I put it there if it is.

7 to go…

St. Denis

Vimy Ridge?

Site of the memorial?

Yes it is the Vimy Ridge. The wooden area in the middle of the picture is the ridge. Vimy is the surrounding inhabited area.

Good work MiG. Thank all your 30000 friends too.

I will post another picture for the game early next week.

Holy crap… I guessed Vimy Ridge yesterday but I didn’t want to look stupid because I had no idea where Vimy Ridge really was. I remembered the name from one of my classes but for some reason I didn’t think it was in France.

I guess I could have just googled it too.

OK! Here is a third image for the 20 questions game. MiG just about went crazy with the last one so I hope someone else will participate in this one.

Is it an island?

system · February 19, 2005, 2:18am

Yes of course, can’t you see the water surrounding it?

19 to go.

Seriously! I just didn’t think Vimy Ridge was in France.

Is it in the Northern Hemisphere?

system · February 19, 2005, 2:28am

Is the body of water surronding this island one of Earth’s major oceans (that is, Pacific, Atlantic, Indian, Arctic, or Southern Ocean)?
