Find the Building: Solve the Clues & Show the Map!

[OCR]

Sorry, that may seem very convincing, but the record I had in mind was broken more than 75 years ago (and still stands), and this time it was the real thing in the museum, not a replica.

Lol, you sure had me fooled...[COLOR=#black]..[/COLOR]

Got it, but how ?... that was kind of a piss-poor clue...

 

[OCR]

This is not the "lowfat grass" name the location.

Well, it looks like... "Last Stand Hill" ?

But I'm not sure... because now, I'm so shy.[COLOR=#black]...[/COLOR] [COLOR=#black]...[/COLOR]

Googled on "started" with the date, and it was on the first page.

... Yes, that's why I included the date. The "clue" was way to vague ...[COLOR=#black]..[/COLOR]

Nice work, though...[COLOR=#black]..[/COLOR]

I was assuming it was OCR's turn. I've not got a lot of time for creating puzzles.

No shortage of modesty in this thread, someones got to post a riddle.

I have loads of time to create riddles , but i am not very good at it, but here goes:

They say a big man created this path, and there is some thing very unusual about it, where is it?

Are you thinking of the Giant's Causeway? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giant's_Causeway

Darn it i knew that was to easy.

Well, your sneaky trick to make it my turn again seems to have succeeded!

Between my day job in IBM software support and running a couple of orchestras I don't seem to have a lot of time to be imaginative, and when I do find the time I prefer to use it thinking about physics. However, I'll try to come up with something soon.

 

[Jonathan Scott]

A garden in covered enclosures, or rather a project. Where?

 

[1oldman2]

Eden project, St. Blazey, Cornwall England ?

 

[Jonathan Scott]

Eden project, St. Blazey, Cornwall England ?

Yes, that's it, well done. (Did you spot "Eden" in "coverED ENclosures" for confirmation?).

 

[1oldman2]

(Did you spot "Eden" in "coverED ENclosures" for confirmation?).

Only after the fact, but that was an awesome way to sneak in a clue. I'll start working on another riddle but first I'm going to watch the Soyuz/Galileo launch, looks like the countdown is going smoothly, hoping for a "good show"

 

[1oldman2]

Thomas Jefferson and his secretary of treasury got together with James Madison near Manhattan there was a river, name the river.

 

[wolram]

Do you mean the wallabout channel?

 

[1oldman2]

No.

 

[Pepper Mint]

Did the river name start with a "P" ?

 

[Jonathan Scott]

Did the river name start with a "P" ?

Followed by o and 5 more letters?

 

[1oldman2]

Did the river name start with a "P" ?

no

 

[1oldman2]

Followed by o and 5 more letters?

No

 

[ProfuselyQuarky]

There are only three rivers around the Manhattan vicinity...the Hudson river, the Harlem river, and East river...

As for which one can potentially be the answer, I haven't a clue.

Perhaps none of them

 

[1oldman2]

Perhaps none of them

Good call.

 

[ProfuselyQuarky]

Good call.

Good, I didn't think so. Carry along
