For those who have run out pictures, here is another game to stretch the old traveling brain. Just like the picture game… Google knows all answers so please try to avoid the temptation. Hints will be given if needed and after 18 hours in there are no correct answer the game is opened to web searches. Pictures may be used as part of the question if you so desire. The question can be about anywhere in the world. The person who gets the question correct in its entirety will post the next question. Good Luck
Question #1
Name the countries in on the continent of Europe that drive on the left side of the road?

Tom--Can you tell us how many correct answers there are?
England drives on the left hand side, but they are not on the continent of Europe??

Love it Carol! The lawyer lives! I will drop the word continent and just say Europe. Of which the UN identifies 44 countries in Europe - Now the twist... England is not one of the countries. To answer your question - more than one but less than 10 Sleepychef - 0 would not be correct

Chesapeake Bay tunnel and bridge?
it is 20 + miles long Since it is technically two tunnels and three bridges I don't know for sure if it qualifies as the longest 'bridge'. I think there might be one longer. Of course i could be wrong.

Missed this originally. Tom, you were right first time. The UK is part of the continent of Europe as the continental shelf of Europe extends to the west of Ireland and the north of Scotland.

Yes xrayman67 it was St Andrews and its 18 holes as they changed short holes, but I prefer that they decided 18 as thats how many nips they get out a bottle of whisky.

OK, Alaska has to be right, so obviously the others are wrong. Wait, Hawaii has to be right! OK, I think it's a matter of definitions. When you say "most southern", does that mean the northern border of the state is the furthest south?? Regardless, Hawaii has to be right.

I'm thinking the most northern would be Alaska. I think that may also be the answer for the most western (Aleutian Islands). The most southern could be Hawaii and the most eastern Maine.

Carol - in fact Alaska in further west of Hawaii
And in fact the correct state has a longitude of 179°46'E making it the most eastern state

Well, Longitude starts at the prime meridian, or zero degrees longitude (Greenwich England) and I believe adds one degree as you head east from there so 179+ would be halfway around the globe, therefore, some part of the western US is actually in the eastern hemisphere. The westernmost state could be also the easternmost.

OK, I'm back.
Which mountain range in Africa has the same name as a town in South Wales?

OK, not even a guess so I pass. Someone else come up with something. By the way, the answer is Aberdare

Bonus question: How many of them can you name? (I can typically come up with a little more than half of them.) Please don't put your list here, just the number. Dan

Dan, There doesn't seem to be a lot of interest in this game. No guesses on my question either.

Hottest recorded temp or hottest on average? Hottest recorded at ground level was in Death Valley although there is an ongoing dispute about how the temp was determined so...

OK, I'm totally confused. It's consistently the hottest place on earth but no temp on earth. How can that be? Either it's on earth or it's not. If it's in a desert, even below it, then it's still on earth. Even the core of the planet is still on earth. Below the surface but still on earth, therefore the temp would still be on earth. Yup, very confused. I suspect this may be a case of semantics.
