Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Your first clue is given to you at the starting line. It says, "Go to the extreme sports capital of the world. Your first checkpoint can be found near Mount Cook on the South Island." You then see a list of four possible countries. Which city should you travel to?
2. Your next clue says, "Your second checkpoint awaits you in world famous St. Mark's Square, which is in the same city as an airport named for a famous explorer." Again, you see the four countries, and hurry to an airport. Which city should you book a flight to?
3. You read your clue aloud. "Your third checkpoint waits for you on the shore of a lake which is the largest of its kind in its country. The city you must travel to shares its name with this famous body of water. This city has housed one of the UN headquarters for many years despite not being a member until 2002. The country the city is in is known for remaining politically neutral for the most part." Unfortunately, you missed the flight to that specific city. Luckily, you manage to find a flight to city close to your target destination. Which of these cities would be the most logical to fly to?
4. You take a glance at the beautiful lake before reading the clue. "The fourth checkpoint is inside the Golden Temple, the most sacred place of worship of a certain religion." Despite the lack of information, you remember hearing about a violent clash between religious separatists and government forces in 1984 at the Golden Temple. To what city should you fly?
5. You marvel at the beauty of the Golden Temple before reading your clue aloud. "This island country is one of the world's biggest sources for tuna. The fifth checkpoint can be found close to Mount Silisili." Where are you headed now?
6. Your next clue says, "Fly to the only international airport in a fairly large country. Mesopotamia and Patagonia are the names of some geographical regions found in this country." You take one final look at Mount Silisili before getting on your way to where?
7. Upset at the fact that you get to see no more than an airport during the last leg, you read your next clue. "This country is home to Chott el Jerid, an enormous salt lake that makes one of the boundaries of the Sahara Desert. Your checkpoint can be found at a small airport near the lake, only reachable through the capital city's international airport." What city must you go to?
8. You can feel the sweat run down your face as you stand in the scorching hot African countryside. You read your next clue. "Your eighth checkpoint can be found at The Swallow's Nest castle. The castle stands on a cliff overlooking a body of water. This is one of many tourist attractions found on the coast that is considered a neighboring country's Riviera." What city do you need to go to?
9. You read your clue to yourself, realizing the race is almost over. "This country's economy was transformed by the discovery of oil and natural gas reserves. This country has built an underground pipeline (Great Manmade River Project) to exploit its valuable underground aquifers. This is unusual because one of the most widely known pieces of geography occupies some of this country. Be careful! This country has had some serious political turmoil. The checkpoint can be found in the town of Surt." Where are you headed to now?
10. You read your next clue and are stunned at its easiness. "Checkpoint number ten is located in Muscat, Oman." The clue then gives you the exact location in Muscat to travel to. You arrive hours ahead of the others, but you have not won yet, you must beat the others to the finish line. Your final clue is very confusing. "Rearrange: N, I, S, I, S, A, T, U, L, O, and go to the high point." The only familiar thing about the letters is that they are the first letters of all the countries you have visited. Suddenly, it hits you! What country do you have to go to now?
