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 😅
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.
Question 2
🔗 Connections 🖇️
What is the connection between the images, why?
Wall
The famous Pink Floyd album The Wall, John Cena starred in the movie The Wall, the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin, where the Berlin Wall was, and a porcelain tea set, most likely Chinese, where the Great Wall of China is.
✅ Wow, that fast - including perfect explanation!
Question 5
🎥Movie Magic 🎬
❓Guess the movie based on the clues in the picture❓
Hint 1
The name of the actor playing the main role and the villain's nickname are related to image #2 (they are different people)
Hint 2
The fateful encounter took place on a train similar to the one in image №3
Derailed (2005)
✅ Spot on! That's the right answer!
Should I go ahead and post a question next? 😄
Yes please! I have code on my mind again!
Done!
If you have a ready question, that's great!
Let's wait until everyone wakes up; if you ask a question now and I answer it, it might look a bit suspicious, just a little bit 🤏🏻
It's still on my mind. I need to crop pictures first.
This one's gonna be easy. It's not google earth thing 😁
Another one I've never seen 😳
This movie might surprise you. If you decide to watch it, it's best not to look up any information beforehand to preserve the element of surprise.
My list of movies to watch is getting quite long now...
I've just remembered that Reacher Season 3's final episode has been released. That'll be something to talk about tomorrow!
I haven’t watched the Jack Reacher series, only the movies. I should give the series a try.
I think the series are better than the movies - the character casting is so much better and splitting it into the episodes allows them to build greater depth to the storyline. I definitely recommend it!
The Da Vinci Code
👎🏻Unfortunately, this is the wrong answer, but the release years of these movies are very close to each other.
Je ne sais pas 🤷♂️
Now I'll give a hint and go to sleep🙂
The Railway Man
👎🏻I'm very sorry, but this is not the right movie.
Now I'll give the second hint and then I'll definitely go to sleep.
I do not know if the three-hour-rule counts after a hint. But if you are sleeping now (as I will in half an hour...) it does not matter. Here is my new guess for the morning:
The English Patient
👎🏻 This is not The English Patient. Henry gave the correct answer—it's Derailed (2005). If you haven't seen this movie, I recommend watching it.
Question 6
🧐 Odd One Out 🚫
These faces all scream the same movie. Who among these characters is the odd one out and why?
Budd is the only male character! 😁 That seems obvious.. so movie wise he’s the only one not killed by The Bride.
👎Really good observation - but not quite what I’m looking for 😁
On second thought, I don't think he's the only one though...
They all are codenamed after a type of snake but Elle Driver’s “California Mountain Snake” is not a venomous as other snakes! 🐍 so she is the odd one out!
✅ Nailed it! In a lineup of lethality, one is biologically bluffing. Elle Driver's the only one codenamed with a nonvenomous snake!
That one was good! 🥂 You guys have a new question.. from me! 😀
Yesss! Bring it on! 😁
It is on! 😁
I think O-Ren Ishii is the odd one out because she became the mafia boss, while the others are just fighters.
👎I like that reasoning - but nope, not the one 🙂
I will go for Michael Madsen. I don’t know much about them. But find out he is the only one who was born 50s. All others 60s.
👎I didn’t look into that - I’m after something that’s actually in the movie itself.
Elle Driver (Daryl Hannah) is the only one who might not have died (or was not confirmed to be dead - just blinded).
👎Not the answer I had in mind, but her ending does say a lot - if you think about what makes her different.
Elle Driver (Daryl Hannah) is the only active assassin still working for Bill.
👎Not what I'm after, I’m thinking of something a bit more... intrinsic to her nature.
She is the only one without „honor“ - intrinsically vicious and treacherous.
The other characters adhere to some form of code or respect but Elle is pure badness. Her fate at the end mirrors her moral blindness.
Disconnect got the correct answer. I wasn't thinking about morality but something a bit more biological. Elle Driver is the only one in the Deadly Viper Assasination Squad who's codenamed with a nonvenomous snake.
Rats never sleep... 😉
I held off replying until your waking hours - figured you should have the same thinking window for my clues 🙂
Question 8
🚗 Travel 🛣️
At midnight tonight, I'm going to drive to Hull via Birmingham.
Eastbourne to Birmingham is 3 1/2 hours where I will have a 30 minute break.
I'll then continue my Journey for 1 1/2 hours when I will have another quick 15 minute break in Sheffield.
The final part of my journey to Hull will take another 1 1/2 hours.
What will the time be when I arrive in Hull?
You will arrive at 8:15, as tonight the clocks in England will go forward one hour (summer time always starts on the last weekend in March).
✅ That's correct. The clocks went forward by 1 hour at 1am so the arrival time is 1 hour later than the journey time.
You will arrive at 7:15 AM
👎 That would be too easy 😉
You'll never make it! Because in Sheffield, they stole your car... and now you're walking.
👎 It'd still make it if I were walking. Admittedly, it would take me a long time, but I'd get there.
Question 4
📺 Television & Streaming 📺
What connects the below characters from The Simpsons?
They all seem to be former husbands of Selma Bouvier?
✅ That's correct! They have all been married to Selma Bouvier.
Phil Hartman has voiced all these characters (thanks for the names, Alex!) at least once before he died in 1998.
Not at all😉
👎 Is that true? This site disagrees but I must confess that I didn't check who voiced the characters when composing the question.
Yes, two of the characters were only supposed to appear once, when he did the voice (GPT said, after I asked him about the voiceover by Hartman, who I knew was dead). I don't know myself.
Maybe they're all tied together by their strong connection to the past?
Abe Simpson , stuck in the past, always rambling about his youth.
Troy McClure, longs for the glory days when he was a star.
Sideshow Bob, regrets his failures but sometimes mourns his lost dream.
Disco Stu , trapped in the '70s, for him, disco never died.
👎 The answer is much simpler than that 🙂
They’re all fan-favourite side characters who often overshadow the main cast.
👎 They are (I think that every character is!) alexanderkass has the correct answer - they have all been married to Selma Bouvier.
No idea. Never watched a single episode 🤷♂️

Who, when and where am I?
Ian Thorpe, 2001 FINA World Championships in Fukuoka, Japan.
✅ It is indeed, Ian Thorpe in Japan, 2001.
Kristin Otto, 1988, Seoul Olympics
👎 disconnect got it correct - it was Ian Thorpe in Japan, 2001.
