Geonuc.
I was hoping to find a larger flat portion on Antarctica, but so far no answer.

Kohala
Hualalai Mauna Kea Mauna Loa Kilauea (I suppose Pu'u O'o counts as a crater of Kilauea, otherwise it would be six). Holy Haleakala, that was hard to memorise...

Arneb's Turn is is a switchback on a very narrow mountain road in southern Lichtenstein, made famous by the Lichtensteiner Formula 1 driver Arneb Luxembourg who was able to take it in a four wheel drift at over 60 km/hr.

Very short radius turn, high crown, 1,500 foot straight drop outboard, loose gravel. Even in a Formula 1 it's hairy. And this was in 1955, remember.

I've driven that turn, directly in front of the prince's house.

I'm surprised Arneb didn't mention it before; it's only about 75 miles from Aachen.
Has anybody seen Arneb? I hope the turn didn't get him.

Ok. What's the name of a small city in Louisiana that you can spell by punching some numbers into a calculator then read by turning the calculator upside down?
I'll give you a hint: There are seven letters in the name of the city.

There's only one? impossible
![]() PS: OK, I'm convinced. The letters that result from inverted numbers are I Z E H S G L B O, right? From these lists of cities/towns in LA, I found none that could be inverted. Here are the few seven letter ones: Louisiana Bigger Cities (over 6000 residents) Bastrop Crowley Estelle Gardere Hammond Harahan Lacombe Laplace Marrero Oakdale Reserve Slidell Sulphur Zachary Cities, towns, and villages in Louisiana between 1000 and 6000 residents Baldwin Bernice Berwick Cameron Carlyss Chauvin Clinton Deville Elmwood Gueydan Jackson Killian Lafitte Livonia Lutcher Mansura Mathews Oberlin Paradis Poydras Supreme Vidalia Towns, and villages in Louisiana with fewer than 1000 residents Anacoco Ashland Belcher Cankton Chatham Clayton Doyline Florien Gilbert Grayson Hessmer Hosston Mangham Maurice Natchez Norwood Pollock Rodessa Sarepta Simpson Tickfaw Varnado Wallace Last edited by hhEb09'1 : 26-April-2008 at 05:49 PM. |
