I'll throw Suriname out there in case you're not following in Jim Jones' footsteps.

Tully Mars 06-02-2008 11:27 AM

Not in South America.

Leto 06-02-2008 11:43 AM

ok... Bermuda?

Tully Mars 06-02-2008 11:51 AM

Not an island.

little_tippler 06-02-2008 03:07 PM

So if it's not an island...and it's in the Northern and Western Hemispheres....and it's also not in South America or North America...Greenland? That's like a big island... heh.

I'm stumped.

uncle phil 06-02-2008 03:57 PM

Hmm, lets see. West of the Prime Meridian (Greenwich) and North of the Equator, yet not in North or South America and not an island.

Let's just say I find it ironic you can't clearly see this location.

BadNick 06-02-2008 04:36 PM

You also said it's not Central America or S. America or U.S. or Canada or Mexico, and not an island. I think that pretty much eliminates everything I can think of.

How about under the Atlantic Ocean?

uncle phil 06-02-2008 04:41 PM

way down...
below the ocean...
where, i wanna be...

the lost continent of atlantis...

Maybe this will help:

Olhe com cuidado.

uncle phil 06-02-2008 04:46 PM

a HA!!!

europe?

Tully Mars 06-02-2008 04:48 PM

Yep! You're on the right track Uncle Phil.

BadNick 06-02-2008 05:04 PM

ahh, you confounded my normal western hemisphere perceptions.

I'll go with Portugal

Tully Mars 06-02-2008 05:12 PM

We have a winner.

I seriously figured when Brazil was eliminated and I posted "mais leste." It pretty much left one country. Then after posting I found it "ironic" that LT couldn't "clearly see this location." I thought I couldn't make it any clearer, so I posted a map.

Yer up. Mr. Bad.

BadNick 06-02-2008 05:52 PM

OK. Where in the world am I? clue: I don't see Waldo here.

Southern Hemisphere?

BadNick 06-02-2008 06:15 PM

no, not s.h.

The Western Hemisphere?

BadNick 06-02-2008 06:26 PM

no, not the w.h.

Tully Mars 06-02-2008 06:28 PM

Do you speak Japanese?

BadNick 06-02-2008 06:40 PM

No I don't, but I own three Japanese cars...but what does that have to do with where I am? ;)

another clue since it relates to do with your question: while I am sure the residents there don't speak Japanese, the Japanese language has a connection to this place

Tully Mars 06-02-2008 06:45 PM

Hawaii?

Edit: Gez! now I'm doing it. Hawaii's in the WH which you stated you're not.

Philippines?

BadNick 06-02-2008 06:57 PM

as you said, not Hawaii. Also not the Philippines.


edit: bed time for bonzo. So throw out some guesses and I'll address them in the morning, eastern time morning that is, western and northern hemisphere, in the U.S., PA, near Philadelphia.

Tully Mars 06-02-2008 07:49 PM

Korea?

BadNick 06-03-2008 04:17 AM

no, not Korea. Here's another clue: not China.

I hope you worldly travellers don't loose patience, but I'll be offline until after lunchtime today ...Eastern U.S. time.

Tully Mars 06-03-2008 05:23 AM

Hmm, island?

BadNick 06-03-2008 09:19 AM

not an island. Do I have to hand you this on a plate, or what?

Tully Mars 06-03-2008 09:31 AM

Guess so, your clues are flying past me. I thought I was spoon feeding Lisbon too.

Waldo unseen.
Japanese has something to do with it.
North Eastern Hem.
Not an Island.

Shot in the dark...

Myanmar (Burma)

BadNick 06-03-2008 09:33 AM

and the drum roll................................................not Myanmar :(

when I said "plate" that was a clue

Leto 06-03-2008 09:42 AM

Well, plates can be made out of china, but you said not China. It's not an island. Thai food is popular, and it can be handed to you on a plate. So... I'll go with Thailand.

* although, I don't know how the waldo or Japanese references fit in. Except during WWII, Japan had conquered the area.

BadNick 06-03-2008 10:05 AM

dear Leto, your circuitous logic is interesting, but wrong. Not Thailand.

Think plates.....wet plates

Leto 06-03-2008 10:23 AM

hmmm....plates... plate techtonics.... underwater earthquake zone.... ergo wet plates.... pacific rim of fire... could be any unmentioned country along that seismically active zone... Russia. I'm thinking the Kamchatka peninsula

uncle phil 06-03-2008 10:24 AM

mongolia...

I like that logic, but Waldo and Japanese seem missing to me. Though I know jack shit about "Kamchatka."

I'm stumped.

Leto 06-03-2008 12:07 PM

weren't waldos a type of munition in WWII? and getting back to the Japanese, weren't they all over that area in the 1930's & '40's? conquering Korea, Manchuria, Sakhalin Islands (near Kamchatka)

aggghhh... Ok I give.

BadNick 06-03-2008 12:36 PM

forget about the "waldo" thing. I just threw that out there without any thought whatsoever. The plate tectonics idea is right on the money. Think about that concept in that area and you can get figure it out. Nudder clue: think plate tectonics under water...get it = wet plates.

uncle phil 06-03-2008 12:44 PM

guam?

Leto 06-03-2008 12:48 PM

tibet?

Not tibet. that's not underwater.


Wait a minute... maybe you aren't on dryland. Maybeyou are under water. Therefore not on an island.... How about the Marianas Trench?

(that would make Phil's Guam guess fairly close, except it's an island)

Tully Mars 06-03-2008 12:55 PM

Guam's an island.

Tibet, lot's of high ground pushed up by plates.

What about Kathmandu?

uncle phil 06-03-2008 01:13 PM
