WTHAI 1: Australia
WTHAI 2: US

Wales.  He has too much of a sense of humor to be in China.

That made me laugh.  Isle of Man.

WTHAI 1: Ubeki-beki-beki-beki-stan-stan
WTHAI 2: Bangladesh-nam-bodia-mar-land

Me and my big mouth!

To date, all guesses for WTHAI 1 & 2 are incorrect. Consider that a gift, for I've previously stated that I would mostly answer guesses in the affirmative.

Soon, WTHAI 1 will have a prize of only 2.5 TBC, and WTHAI 2's will be only 5 BTC. But stay tuned. WTHAI 3 is right around the corner with a prize of 10 BTC unless (NEW RULE) one guesses its location within the first hour of its posting, then the prize is doubled to 20 BTC.

I'll Play.

Is WTHAI?3 also in Africa?

[BTCurious]

For WTHAI 1: Africa

Name a country.

Oh, I thought this meant that you were not allowed to name a continent.

WTHAI 1: Congo
WTHAI 2: Asia
WTHAI 3: Asia

I was just about to pen a new rule when I refreshed this page and read your post. I dearly hope this doesn't create any controversy, but the guesses that name continents will be ignored. Otherwise, we'll have people guessing hemispheres. I'm going to pen Rule 12 now.

For your efforts, BTCurious:

WTHAI 4:

Why is it always the fat guy that knows how I think?

Now I need to make another rule stating that all guesses are to be of locations found only on Earth, unless RF sets on me and I scream, "Uncle!"

Nice post! Here's a cookie!

[LoupGaroux]

WTHAI #1: Ireland.

WTHAI  #2: Ethiopia or Eritrea or Somalia

WTHAI #3: Argentina

WTHAI #4: An undisclosed location in the desert near Las Vegas, on a movie set before the alleged Apollo lunar landing module footage was added- notice that utter lack of stars in the "nighttime sky". Some sources believe the set was constructed inside Building #208 at Groom Lake, although this has long been denied by the US Government. A far less supported belief, but one much closer to the truth, is that the set was actually built underground on the border of Area 52, one quarter of a mile from the run-out of Deadman Wash, and is accesses through a simple "Observation Post" know at Station 700.

But I have no specific knowledge of any of these things.

I'm almost certain you got #4 exactly correct, although it wasn't part of the contest because RandyFolds tried to hijack this thread. See if he will give you the 10 BTC prize before he spends it on another pallet of Oreos. And if he doesn't, may I suggest you get out one of those alien probes and... On second thought, forget that idea.

Okay, then #3 is Cahokia Mounds in Southern Illinois.

#2 is Wales

#1 is Poland

And #4 is micro-photography of a stomach lining after eating that many cookies!

Let's say, for the sake of argument, that Cahokia Mounds is close. Exactly which mound? And if you found it, provide an image to show proof of work. Remember, this is just meant for the sake of argument.

WTHAI 5... I can see ghosts of location names but can't make them out!

WTHAI 5... I can see ghosts of location names but can't make them out!

That's indicative of all Google Map Images when one zooms in. The words seen should have nothing to do with the image, otherwise this would be an easier contest. I believe all the text is the same and reads '2011 Google'.

Thank you for bringing it to everyone's my attention, ineededausername.

WTHA1: is in the northern hemisphere, likely south of 60 degrees north, north of 22 degrees north. That rules out Africa.

WTHA2: is closer to the equator, the only visible shaddows appear to exgagerated by the nearby creakbed. I Estimate summer, between 0 degrees north and 45 degrees north.

WTHA3: No visible shadow detail, hint given is "south america"

WTHA4: Cloud shadows suggest morning near the equator, likey between 30 degrees south/north. Hint was "Africa", my analysis narrows it to north Africa.

WTHA5: Shadow detail is hard to see; appears to be another morning image. Hint was Asia. I think I can narrow it to between 22 south and 45 north, which eliminates most of Russia.

PS: voted both "Yes" and "No" in the poll
