Brain Teasers and Quizzes

Yeah, it sounds like you’ve got the correct answer, @numptyboi .

So follow these instructions and you should be good.

Google for the place of “discovery” and on Wikipedia you should see the village that it is near.

Click the link to the village in Wikipedia and then in the new page you should see the coordinates of that village in the top right hand of the Wikipedia page (if you’re using a device with a big enough screen - it doesn’t seem to appear on mobile).

Copy that set of coordinates that should start 11° 10′ … and then paste that into the quiz as your guess.

And after that you’ll hit clue 7 and wish you’d never bothered!

If you run into problems, PM me to tell me where you think it is and if you’re correct, I’ll give you the correct coordinates.

I finished Part 1 yesterday. Very enjoyable indeed. Yet to start Part 2 as I’ve got a VAT return to file and a VAT fine to pay!

When I get to Part 2, Clue 3 do I have to search for Part 2, Clue 4 as I have already found that, accidentally…

I fell at the first hurdle on part 2. Looks familiar, but can’t place it. Channel islands or Milport, but not getting it.

Got to part 2 clue 5 and that has me totally fucked.

Any chance of a hint on part2 clue 4? I know who they are and where that particular huddle took place. Tried putting the pointer on the stadium, but no joy.

Think more specifically and remember there were a number of different venues.

Thought I’d resurrect this thread with something a little less cerebral

OK, give us a sentence including all of the words you got…. :wink:

It would be an interesting sentence, not least as I can’t remember many verbs in there. Which was, in part, how I got a few of them - words that were almost certainly abstract nouns, and only one of the three choices was an abstract noun. A bit of etymological knowledge helped a lot too.
