I don't think anyone cares as long as someone posts a Q.

Bonus kudos for guessing its location.
I had the general geography right, but had no idea of the significance. I already Googled and took myself out of the running. :)Quote:

It's not the highest mountain on an island (I don't think, anyways. I would have thought that claim would belong to either Indonesia or the Phillipines).Quote:

still think along the height lines - longest (tallest) face?
Yeah, close enough anfield. Mount Thor, located on Canada's Baffin Island, claims the world's greatest vertical drop at over 4,100ft.Quote:

Have a go! :)
thanks schmenke.
Not sure if this has been asked already, so appologies if it has.
There are only 2 doubly-landlocked countries in the world i.e. a country surrounded by landlocked countries.
What are they?
has been asked before...
Liechtenstein and erm, Azerbaijan?
Kazakhstan
liechtenstein is correct. The second one is not azerbaijan, or kazakhstan, but somewhere in that area
Uzbekistan? or maybe Kyrgyzstan
Kyrgyz sounds okay.
It is Uzbekistan Steve.Quote:

The Philippines is made up of how many islands? I wont give a "within" bracket. I will see how we go, someone probably knows the answer straight off.
The Philippines Archipelago I should add
Shot in the dark... 500?
7200
2500
I still stand by my 7200 answer, but this figure can change drastically during different tidal phases i.e. far fewer at high tide
Over 10,000
Anfields closest so far. I guess within 50 wins
Another numbers game. How many bridges are crossed by the Trans-Siberian railway?
no idea so a wild guess, 200?
There must be lots of rivers and valleys between Moscow and Vladivostok. 10,000?
err D-Type is always 1 post late eh? Anfield thought steve said he had got it when he hadn't aparently, he already posted a Q which I lamely attempted but D is right there answering things out of sequence :p: :)
The usual failing to notice there's another page :(
I've edited my post to give my guess for Siberian bridges as 10,000.
If indeed there are 10k bridges, my guess is going to look so dumb :(
