Here is an interesting land formation. It looks like an extremely large object (Lets say the mother ship from the movie "Independence Day") (only bigger) has hit the earth at on heck of a speed at a 45 degree angle.

In order to help you locate this place, I have left the borders showing. The country to the left of the left border and the right of the right border are parts of the same country which is completely bisected by the country in the middle. The country in the middle is a lot larger than the country to the sides but it too has two large parts which are also bisected but not by another country. Confusing enough? Name the two countries.

1. What place is this?
 2. What world famous sporting event is held here?
 3. In a mix of history and folklore, something here was considered "broken". What was it an how was it done?[/img]

1. Monte Carlo, Monarco
2. Formula 1 Grand Prix
3. The Bank was Broken - back in the 1800's Joseph Jagger found the bias on the roulette wheel and kept winning at the Casino!!

Another interesting land formation taken from a relatively fairly high perspective.

To solve this one, you will need to line up the picture exactly in Google earth and then turn on the borders option. This will reveal that there are parts of three countries visible within the frame. First one to name all three.

Ok, being new to this forum, and reletively new to Geocacheing, Can someone tell me how to upload pic to here?

I am on another forum that uses the same BB format, but in that one, when posting a reply, an 'Insert image" option appears. No such luck here.

Cheers
Bundy

If you mouseover the Img button when making a post, it will show the text you need to type;
[img]http://image_url[/img]
Or click the Img button, paste in your image link, and click the Img button again to close.

Sorry, reread and you're asking about image hosting, not how to link?

Friday Night Games

Here's a long structure.
 1. Name the structure and the country.
 2. You are walking along the structure and fall off twice, once to the north and then again to the south. Apart from being a clumsy nuff nuff, what very noticible difference do you observe from your two mishaps?

1. Afsluitdijk in Netherlands (see here)

2. Falling on the north side would result in you floating better
