Stonehenge is so familiar across Britain, Scotland and many other parts of Europe.

The one in the riddle is over 7,000 kliks away from the Salisbury edifice. (Stonehenge is also a great album by Ten years After)

So can I be up with my riddle, it's very difficult ?

So can I be up with my riddle, it's very difficult ?

First you must answer mine
Stonehenge is a familiar landmark, find the other Henge on G Earth that commemorates a nations obsession. Geo Coordinates, or nearest village's name wins this round.
But I am curious about your riddle am anxious to see it.

 

[wolram]

I think we need another clue 1oldman2 please, there are so many henges around the world

 

[ProfuselyQuarky]

Yaaas, and there are so many in England D-:

1oldman2 says the he is looking for is 7000 miles from stone henge so that precludes England and Europe.

"kilks" means miles? I had no idea . . . I thought that was a typo . . .

I had no idea how many were in the UK until i got looking around. Stand by for clue #2.

You are correct on precluding UK and Europe,

find the other Henge on G Earth that commemorates a nations obsession

This is a telling piece of the riddle, another is the distance from Salisbury. So your next clue would be, This Henge was relatively recently constructed in a farmers field and it has nothing to do with crop circles.

 

[1oldman2]

"kilks" means miles? I had no idea . . . I thought that was a typo . . .

Actually "Kliks is a US military slang for Kilometers, A person might use the "ruler" on G Earth to find the approximate area by describing a roughly 7,000 Kilometer circle with Stonehenge as the center.

Is this quirky henge the one you mean?

That would be the one As you can see no Druids were involved in the construction.

I can not think of a good riddle so let Peppermint have a go, she says hers is a good one let's see

I concur

 

[ProfuselyQuarky]

Oh, nice one wolram and clever riddle 1oldman2!

(though how do we know Peppermint is a "she" )

 

[ProfuselyQuarky]

commemorates a nations obsession

That would be the one

Those weird, cray Americans and their odd obsessions

Oh, wait, I'm one of those people, too. Nevermind

Thank you everyone for giving me a pass.
Here goes my short easy riddle (of facts).

There he stands white and naked in front of a big house in Europe.
He is not circumcised.

So who is he ?

 

[1oldman2]

So who is he ?

First guess would be Michelangelo's (not the mutant ninja turtle) David in Florence, Italy?

No longer a guess now, very good 1oldman2, you hit it on.
Your turn now!

 

[256bits]

I thought it might be this guy ( hey he has to be naked underneath ), but the Micki guy answer seems more reasonable.

[1oldman2]

Okay! with every ones permission I would like to try something different this time.
This time around you need to identify the location of this picture.

 

[ProfuselyQuarky]

That looks like the Tsar bomb . . . so the location would be the Russian island of Nova Zembla probably? Good thing that that place is remote!

(awesome picture, 1oldman2!)

I thought that was the tsar bomb for a long time based on some inaccurate info there aren't any images like this of the tsar. the topography in the pic is your best clue. 4/22 is R. Oppenheimer's birthday by the way.

 

[wolram]

I do not know which bomb this is but the island is Moruroa

With your permission i will post this one:
A place in England were thing grow on the roof.
A hard cheese and eat more than your fill.
EDIT
I want a google Earth location.

 

[wolram]

Are you still with it 1oldman2??

 

[Jonathan Scott]

I expect "thing grow on floor" too. Cheese made it easy. Still very little time - perhaps in 3 weeks or so!

 

[1oldman2]

Are you still with it 1oldman2??

Yup I'm still in but have been to a funeral in the middle of Wyoming for the weekend. Almost home then I'll focus on the game.

Aside from the fact that you were attending a funeral, I hope you had a good trip!

I tend to avoid funerals but this one was necessary. Trip was great, Wyoming has awesome cell service even in the middle of nowhere.

You Brits have an advantage on me here, while I'm relatively sure my problem is "search parameter choices" I must beg you for another clue.
