Day Thirteen I’ve held back on introductions for the past few days. There isn’t much to add and I’m still playing catch-up, but we’re getting there! Today’s challenge is a fun one. We need to enter map coordinates (or just click on the map, very similar to GeoGuessr!) for the first answer here. Question one In the summer of 2013, a blog post from the newspaper Le Monde looks back on a concert held the previous evening. Place on the map the location of the stage during this concert. ...

Day Twelve Question one A locksmith’s shop was located immediately next to this temp agency. What was the company’s legal name? Back to some French. No problems with that, just means we need to look a little closer and make sure we follow up with every little hint and possibility. That’s no problem, in fact I should be doing that anyway!

Quick and easy question. Searching for 19 rhinos killed south africa gave this article: … Police in Mpumalanga are investigating the circumstances surrounding the death of 19 rhino at the Kruger National Park…. Not the most fun news, but Kruger is the answer. ...

Day Nine Today was another fun one! It involved a bit of travel for me, but it was a lovely trip. Here’s the challenge, so let’s get right into it! Question one This song is closely linked to a statue. Before this statue was moved, what could it read, engraved on the pediment facing it? You’ll have to listen to the snippet of the song on the site, but these are the lyrics that we really care about; ...
