Those crystals are incredible!

Yes, they certainly make the amethyst I wear look a wee bite pathetic

Quickie: Match the cities to their altitude:

A) Caracas, Venezuela
B) Nairobi, Kenya
C) Bern, Switzerland
D) Santa Fe, USA
E) Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia
F) Calgary, Canada
G) Kathmandu, Nepal


1) 1,728m
2) 513m
3) 2,213m
4) 1,298m
5) 909m
6) 1,046m
7) 1,284m

E = 7
A = 5
F = 2
B = 6
Wild guesses all.

[anfield5]

got a feeling it is not as obvious as it seems i.e. most people would guess Kathmandu as highest.

1728 = Nairobi
513 = Bern
2213 = Santa Fe
1298 = Kathmandu
909 = Caracas
1046 = Calgary
1284 = Ulaan Baatar

[schmenke]

Well done afield. All correct. Yep, I never realized Santa Fe was at such an altitude, and Bern was so low.

Told you it was a quickie .

[D-Type]

I would have expected Kathmandu to be higher than Nairobi

[Starter]

I had a perfect score going until I got one right. Damn!!

[anfield5]

Kathmandu and Ulaan Baatar were a guess, I knew their altitudes where almost the same, and Sanat Fe was the only one left that could have been at 2213
