SOLVED - Geo Quiz: A Variation 3.0
« on: December 19, 2008, 08:24:45 PM »
My Geo Quiz puzzles have all been solved - so here's another!

The names of the cars are, like before, linked to the names of the places.

And, just to set this straight: 2 points for correctly identifying a car AND a location - and pairing them. No points for just a car, or just a location - so if you find one or the other and decide to give your answer without knowing what it should be paired with, it will be of help to other puzzlers, but not to yourself ;)

Points will be awarded when the puzzle is entirely solved.

Please, have a go: Geographic locations #1 to #12, cars A to L - link away!

Maybe #12 and L - K1 mountain and K1 Attack  ???

I am also pretty sure that place #11 is Washington Dulles International Airport (IATA: IAD, ICAO: KIAD, FAA LID: IAD) and the car A is IAD Mini MPV.

The island itself is actually the Carrera Island - but yes, that's the right one!

Time to promote - and if jotage21 still wants the points for his pairing of car B and location 10, he had better hurry before somebody else comes along and snatches them!

No credit for this, I know Jotage21 is not home, but that is Burlington in Vermont, first result if you google Burlington. He got that but missed you replies.

In this case, I'll give jotage21 the points, as you say you don't want them.

But I made the rules clear in the beginning of the puzzle (identify the car and the location, and the pairing, for the full two points - he didn't, he just stated that location 10 should be linked with the Burlington). jotage21 might not be at home and he last visited the site on December 25th, but that was five days after my replies. So he's had plenty of time to fix it.

For that matter, he didn't completely identify the car, either. It's a Burlington Arrow, not just a Burlington...

But in the spirit of Christmas (it's not that long ago) he gets the points ;)

Coul I just  ask if F4 is a correct pair?  ::)

And if I could ask one more question then: Is place #8 in Europe? No it isn't  ;)

I may make a little bit risky guess, but I think that:

The car K is Baker Electric is linked with place 8 that according to that website (no cars here! I hope it is allowed): http://www.seattlebedandbreakfast.com/laconner.shtml should be Mt. Baker...

You could, and I would answer that it is. But you won't get the points unless you correctly identify both pictures - which I suspect you will.

The car K is Baker Electric

No, it isn't. As with so many cars of that era, I agree it's very similar - but this one is no Baker Electric...

...that (...) should be Mt. Baker...

...which means that obviously the link is wrong. If you take a closer look, you'll see that Mt. Baker is not even on the map I've posted ;)

Ok.. I'll continue looking for both, while the place 4 is still  a mystery  :(

Location 8 and Car E:
Olympic National Park and Rochdale Olympic Phase I 1963

The other cars are quite easy, but still can't find the locations that match!

Yes, it's certainly a 1960s Rochdale Olympic Phase I. The picture is in fact of the Olympic Peninsula, but of course you'll get the points  ;)

If you know the names of the rest of the cars, Paul, let me tell you that a very well-known search engine is your friend, and so is an equally well-known online encyclopedia...

I couldn't have said it better myself.

Only two cars and locations remain! Who will get the last four points?
