2. Beginning in my home in the center of Canada, I head nearly directly south for 3,015 kilometers to a city in the center of Mexico. What city have I arrived at that begins with Z and shares it name with the state it is the capital of?

From Quiz From Z to Shining Z

Answer: Zacatecas

Zabiateno can be found in the Estado de Chihuahua, Zalcualpan in the Estado de Guerrero, while Zayulilla is in the Estado de Nayarit. Zacatecas (in the Estado de Zacatecas) is nearly straight south of my home in Brandon, Manitoba. Brandon lies at 99 degrees 57 minutes West, while the city of Zacatecas is just a couple of hundred kilometers further west at 102 degrees 34 minutes West. The name 'Zacatecas' comes from the Zacateco people and it translates as 'people of the grasslands'. When the Spanish came to the region in the 1500s, they established a mining camp there, and it became an important city in New Spain. In 1914 during the Mexican Revolution the city was the last stronghold of President Huerta's forces. Francisco (Pancho) Villa captured Zacatecas, attacking from four directions, in the space of seven hours. The anniversary of the Battle of Zacatecas is still commemorated annually on June 23rd.

From Quiz 'X'isting Places

Answer: Mexico City

Xochimilco became a borough of Mexico City in 1928, having been initially founded as a city of the Xochimilca people in the 10th century. It is famous for being built around an intricate canal system, which was originally part of a much wider system of lakes and waterways that once covered much of the area now occupied by Mexico City. Xochimilco's canals were declared a World Heritage Site in 1987. While historically they were built to aid trade and transportation, they now form a popular leisure area and tourist attraction and can be explored on colourful boats known as trajineras.

9. Xizang is the name given by the Chinese to what famously elevated region of Asia?

From Quiz X Marks the Spot

Answer: Tibet

The name "Tibet" by which the Chinese autonomous region of Tibet is known in the West is of Turkic origin, and means "the heights" - a fitting handle for a region covering most of the Tibetan Plateau, whose average elevation is 4,500 m (14,800 ft), and surrounded by some of the world's highest mountains. The Chinese name "Xizang", coined in the early 19th century, means "western Tsang" (Tsang being one of the three traditional provinces of Tibet); the people of Tibet, however, call their land "Bod". Tibet's capital, Lhasa, is one of the highest cities in the world, with an elevation of about 3,650 m (12,001 ft) above sea level. The Tibetan Plateau has been inhabited for over 20,000 years. In the 8th century AD it was the seat of an empire that encompassed large parts of Central Asia, and stretched south to the Bay of Bengal. Tibet was annexed by the People's Republic of China in 1950, and since then the region has been in an almost constant state of unrest. Tibet's last head of state before the annexation, the 14th Dalai Lama (Tenzin Gyatso), was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1989.

The region's boundaries cover a large portion of the historic area known as Tibet that had previously been led by the Dalai Lama since the mid-17th century.

18. The official name of the Autonomous Region of Xinjiang, in Northwest China, refers to its largest ethnic population. What is the name of this ethnic group of Turkic origin, in recent times subjected to human rights abuses?

From Quiz X Marks the Spot

Answer: Uyghurs

Located directly north of Tibet, Xinjiang (formerly known as Sinkiang or Chinese Turkestan, and officially as Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region) is China's largest province-level division. In ancient times, this vast territory of mountains and deserts was crossed by the Silk Road, whose legacy is still present to this day. The Tian Shan mountain range divides the region in two halves, the Dzungarian Basin in the north, and the Tarim Basin (largely occupied by the Taklamakan Desert) in the south. Xinjiang's capital, Ürümqi, was a major hub on the Silk Road in the Early Middle Ages, and is now home to about 4 million people. In 1954, the Uyghurs were officially recognized by the government of China as one of the nation's ethnic and regional minorities. Most Uyghurs are Muslim, and speak a Turkic language related to Uzbek. The Uyghur population in Xinjiang amounts to about 12 million; about 80% of them are concentrated in the Tarim Basin, where they have lived for centuries. Sadly, this people of ancient origin have been subjected to restrictions and police surveillance by the Chinese government since 2014 (apparently under suspicion of religious extremism), and large numbers of Uyghurs are detained in "re-education" camps, where they endure various forms of abuse. There is also growing concern about alleged attempts at eradicating the people altogether through forced sterilization, contraception, and abortion - allegations that the Chinese government has always denied. The Manchus and Tatars are also among the 56 officially recognized ethnic minorities in China, while the Sherpas of Tibet are still unrecognized.

21. Which American 'V' city, built just for luxury resorts and skiing, is placed squarely in the Mountain Time Zone?

From Quiz Several 'V' Destinations

Answer: Vail

Vallejo, Venice Beach, and Van Nuys are all locations found in the Pacific state of California and as such they're all part of the Pacific Time Zone, one hour behind Colorado in the Rocky Mountains. Vail, one of Colorado's many resort towns, is known for being built up as a skiing haven in the 1960s and the cottages there were actually built to accommodate the tourism industry after the hills were established. Vail has since been home to the largest ski hill in the state despite other nearby destinations (like Aspen and Nevada's Lake Tahoe) also taking a fair share of winter sports enthusiasts.

24. The town of Xantippe is the only town in Australia (with a postcode) beginning with the letter X. Which state is it in?

From Quiz 'X'isting Places

Answer: Western Australia

Xantippe is a tiny community located approximately 220 kilometres (140 miles) north of Perth in the state of Western Australia. Aside from a small number of farms and residential dwellings, the most prominent building is apparently a 1920s concrete water tower. Anyone wanting to send post to one of the 14 people recorded as living there at the time of the 2021 Census would need the postcode 6609, and could have easily found it in Australia Post's list of locations - as it was the only place on the list that began with the letter 'X'. This fact is probably responsible for why Xantippe was chosen to represent the letter 'X' in an alphabetical set of special edition $1 coins released in 2019 for Australia Post's "Great Aussie Coin Hunt". People were likely to be much more familiar with the images included on the other coins, since examples such as B for Boomerang, K for Kangaroo and V for Vegemite are all more synonymous with Australia than X for Xantippe!
