    • Without going into all the details, I'm getting someone else's junk emails.

      With that said, for the last few days I've been getting emails from a site called interesting facts. Today was "10 of the worlds weirdest borders." I thot our resident map expert might be interested so here it is.

      Haven't gotten anything interesting as yet. I know when he was shopping for a new car, looking for a hotel room, stuff like that. I assume he's single as he signed up for an account with Match.com so every day I get pictures of women younger than me looking for love. :)

      I know about #1,4,5,6 and 8. I'm calling foul on 10 as bogus. I'll have to look up the rest.

      Here's a other good one. What country has the longest border with France? The answer is Brazil. This is because French Guyana in South America is part of France. Most people think it is a separate country (like Suriname and Guyana) or semi independent territory (like French Polynesia). But it is actually a part of France, no different than the part in Europe. The country of France also includes Guadeloupe and Martinique (Caribbean), and Mayotte and Reunion (Indian Ocean). But these are islands with no terrestrial borders.

      I did a thru hike of the Main Street section of the AT in Hanover. May have been a Slowest Known Time, given the ice cream and book store.

      Dogs are excellent judges of character, this fact goes a long way toward explaining why some people don't like being around them.

      When I passed through Hanover in 2019 it was the slowest bit of that section hike because folks on the street kept stopping me to chat, including the traffic warden. :)

      Kept streak going at 75, but must admit this is one I got right because I remember the answer from previously missing it.

      I stayed at Uncle Johnny's back in 2013, but I didn't buy a Snickers.

      Do they give different photos to different people? If not, it seems quite an easy question to answer ;)

      Too used to going on my memory of hiking the AT. I guess if I looked more at the photos instead I might already know if 199 of 200 shows as 100%. :)

      Actualy 180 of 181 should be 100% if properly rounded. But I have already proven their software only rounds one decimal place and truncates the additional digits.

    • My streak ended at 10 today. Time to start again. My numbers reset when I got a new phone a few weeks ago.
      But my other games reset too, which was helping.
      My 20 day Global average is 5.3 guesses. The average on my old phone was low due to a lot of really bad guessing when I was just starting out.
      I'm back to 100% on Worldle with an weighted average of 2.65 guesses per game. That is actually a bit lower than it used to be. There have been a string of annoying countries recently. I Usually have to cheat on the Capital city bonus round and often am just guessing on the flag bonus round.
      I usually cheat on Wordle. My brain just doesn't see words like it does maps.

      WOW! 5.3 on Globle is AMAZING!!! I'm just happen when I can keep it lower then 9.0

    • I had a great day with on line games today.

      AT trivia correct. Up to 2 in a row!

      Wordle on 4 guesses without cheating (Rare for me).

      Global in 5 guesses. even better considering it was in the absolutely hardest part of the world to guess.

      Then Worldle in one guess, plus all the bonus rounds (bordering countries, capital, flag, population, and currency) with no misses. I strangely know a little about this part of the world that will stump almost everyone.

      Only 101 to go to see if it will round to 100%. ?(

    • Correct answer still not available for today's question, but at least I rememberd what they think it is. :)

      Of course it is easy remember a mountain when you have to go down it on one leg after you tear a meniscus in the other knee. Another good reason to use trekking poles. ;)
