I bet you thought I'd forgotten, didn't you ? Due to a combination of returning to university and wanting to try out some other contests, this has been a while in the making, but at last, the fifth picture quiz is here!This time, the subject will be natural features. Below are 20 pictures of waterfalls, mountains, glaciers etc., and your task is to try and identify each one. You will win 10 posts for each feature you guess correctly, and because I'm feeling nice, you'll win 5 posts if you guess incorrectly, but get the country right (so, for instance, if there was a picture of Mount St. Helens, and you guessed the Grand Canyon, you'd win 5 posts for at least being in the correct country). Also, to stop one person from just running away with this, I'm going to introduce the following rules (which may be tweaked in future editions of the contest, depending on how well they work): 1) No more than FIVE guesses per post, and; 2) No more than one post containing guesses per person per 24 hours. (so, if you make a post containing guesses, you need to wait 24 hours before you can make any more guesses). Any guesses made beyond this limit will not be counted. Once again, using tools like Google and Wikipedia to help you IS allowed. Now that we've got that out of the way, here are the pictures. I've thumbnailed them since they're both huge: ![]() ![]() (Click to enlarge) ---------------------------------------------------------- Scoreboard: 1) Answered correctly by Jarkko 2) 3) Answered correctly by Jarkko 4) Answered correctly by Jarkko 5) 6) Answered correctly by Jarkko 7) Answered correctly by Jarkko 8) 9) Answered correctly by Jarkko 10) 11) 12) Answered correctly by Jarkko 13) Answered correctly by Jarkko 14) 15) 16) Answered correctly by Jarkko 17) Answered correctly by Jarkko 18) Answered correctly by Jarkko 19) Answered correctly by Jarkko 20) ----------------------------- You have one week in which to enter. If there are any left at the halfway point, I will tell you which country each feature is in to make it easier. Good luck! Edited by CJ, May 11 2012, 08:38 PM.

Being how it is currently 14 May, this should actually have been shut down some time ago.

Thanks for spotting. Looks like you're the only winner this time. 120 posts, and the right to run the next one if you wish. |

2 was Lake Tahoe. 5 was the Nullarbor Plain. 8 was the White Glacier. (This confused me a bit, because there are several different glaciers with that name, but this one's the one in northern Canada, at 79°30'N / 90°50'W I should probably have made that one later than #8.) 10 was the Cerro de Potosí. (I expect this might be easier for anyone with Civ 5, and even then only if they have the Spain/Inca DLC pack.) 11 was the Aurlandsfjord. 14 was the Valles Marineris canyon system, on Mars. 15 was the Erawan Waterfall. 20 was Beauport Bay, which I went to a few years ago. (And by "a few", I mean 10. Scary.) |
