RE: ❓Steemit Quiz 2025 - Week 12
Question 3
🌎 Where on Earth? 🛰
Name the country and city shown in this satellite image:
Hint 1:
This is an outpost for steel birds.
Hint 2:
Think of somewhere colder, farther east - once the red heart of an iron dream.
Hint 3:
This city was once a hub for Decembrist exiles (1825 Uprising)
Chita Aerodrom, Russia
52°03'31"N 113°26'32"E
✅ Or Chita Northwest Air Base (Chita - 2) in Zabaykalsky Krai, Russia
Last hint did it.
I was hoping it was the last. If not, I wouldn’t know what to say - except maybe it’s a speedy feline…😅
😆
You're making me want to produce more questions like this 😆
Go ahead. But be sure, then you are making me wanna boycott the quiz... ;-)
wth?
In my opinion, it was a good and interesting question. You had no reason to worry.
But was too difficult 😅
Hint 2:
Think of somewhere colder, farther east - once the red heart of an iron dream.
Pleeaaeeaase… This is frustrating…
Is it a famous airport/heliport? Is it a city that is known (like Novosibirsk, unfortunately the airport does not match)? Do we know it from the latest news? Or a movie? A song?
I m tired… 😔
You know it from history books... (probably... )
This city was once a hub for Decembrist exiles (1825 Uprising)
Engels-2 Airbase, Russia, Saratov Region, Engels City?
👎You're still too far west. Try moving deeper into Siberia.
It's just that this airfield was recently attacked, so I thought it was the one.
Again? 🫤I thought Trump’s involvement would slow things down...
I hope so too, but for now, it's all just words. We'll see what happens next.
Hint
This is an outpost for steel birds.
Now everything is crystal clear 😁
I hope so. I'll probably give another hint before I go to bed.
Ha ha! Yeah, I think we'd already worked that out 😆
Hint 3:
This city was once a hub for Decembrist exiles (1825 Uprising)
Is it a current satellite image?
The satellite image is quite recent, from mid-2024, but not necessarily taken in 2025. The image was taken from google earth, and the same view still appears unchanged in Google Maps.
Another clue? 😂
I can't see me getting it as things stand - my focus is on coding at the moment so I might not be the best judge today!
This is how things are looking...
... which given there are multiple ways of uploading an image, has turned out to be a massive pain in the arse.
Oh, I think I've seen that image before...🤔
I want to learn that! or I probably shouldn't... I only know the basics ones
Goodbye
😉
You can't do that yet... I'm working on a feature so that images open in a new tab when they're clicked so that you can see a high res version.
I hope you don't...
I think that's baked into the site's config file 😅
wtf 😭
Maybe it's some kind of a helicopter squad for firefighting somewhere in Los Angeles, USA?
👎 No, this isn't a firefighting unit in Los Angeles, USA.
I'll give a hint now.
Let's wait for the other players; otherwise, it looks kind of weird—only two people playing, and both are from the same team.
I probably should’ve gone with the horse-drawn carriage on Google Street View instead 😆
When they guess too quickly, even though you put in the effort, it's frustrating... When they can't guess at all, it's just as frustrating, maybe even more. Don't worry, I think your next clue will do the trick.
Haha! Oh, the dilemma...😐
In an hour
Henry, it seems like we need a hint
There are no guesses yet. You didn't even try 😆 If I give a hint now, it'll be very obvious.
Irkutsk, Russia
👎It's not Irkutsk. But your teammate event-horizon got it. It's Chita, Russia.
