I second that!

 

[SirNim]

Coronado. You're correct!

Your turn!

Post Question #4!

 

[darthdarrel]

I`m terrible with Geography!

 

[SirNim]

I tell ya, I guess I'm gonna go again. I know the rules state that the next person goes; however, I made the rules so I can change them! :lol: :drevil: :king:

So, here's Question 4.

After somebody gets it, Coronado can go again:



A Muslim worshipping in Detriot Michigan has to kneel and face the holy site of Mecca in Saudi Arabia.

In what compass direction (N, S, E, W, NW, NE, SW, SE) does this worshipper in Detroit have to face in order to look straight ahead at Mecca, at the shortest possible linear distance?



(NOTE: This question is very tricky. You cannot answer it by looking at a flat map. You need a physical spherical Earth globe to figure out the answer to this question.)

Northeast is the SHORTEST possible distance from Detriot to Saudi Arabia because of the curvature of the Earth. It's like flying from USA to Russia. Russia's on the other side of the world (unless you live in Alaska) so the shortest distance to Russia is North, over the North Pole and out the other side of the Earth.

sandjhooker, you are correct. If you want, you can post another question (#5) or let Coronado post one.

Good job all!

 

[SpongeScott]

I will yield to your brilliance and let you do another one and see if I can answer. I'd rather answer than ask.
