    True. The base assumptions could have been terrible!

    lol - i assumed 4mph walking speed... that's 6.4kph compared to google's 4.9kph :rolleyes:

    My distance was miles off too.

    Did you like me showing my working Tusk?

    Do I get a bonus point for showing my working?

    I showed no workings but mine were that I guessed around three times the distance between Dublin and New York (5km guess), and 5km/h walking speed. Pretty happy how close I was to actual distance of Dublin to New York, and walking speed. Just a bit off on the comparison between Dublin and New York and Paris and Malaysia.

    Amazing landmark. Went there when I was in Malaysia, Skywalk is bloody awesome.

    Also that typo on Ayers Rock is making my eye twitch.

    Looks like it was a good game though, well done Barney!

    Nicely run tusk!

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 71,799 ✭✭✭✭Ted_YNWA

    Ah bollix I was eating my dinner.
    Well done Barney. I would've been way off anyway.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,496 ✭✭✭✭Collie D


    Ah feck. I thought the reveal was at 8. Guess was miles out anyway - saved myself being laughed out of the forum I suppose.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,917 ✭✭✭tusk

    Thanks for running, was fun. The one I was stuck on for a while as one of the two I’ve actually been to.


  • Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators Posts: 16,287 Mod ✭✭✭✭quickbeam


    I did so crap. But at least I got the Petronas Towers :P

    ahh poop
    just in from work...... wouldnt have won anyway, guessed around 3100

    good game!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 20,666 ✭✭✭✭Rikand


    Great game tusky

    Can't believe I picked Mississippi river for my MR landmark lol. Thought it was legit because of the Ayers Rock and it being natural ;) never for a second considered Rushmore. For someone who has played so much Civ, I should have gotten Angkor Wat too lol

    Grants to the joint winners ;)
