The Airport with the world's highest elevation is in which city?

Re: Geography trivia
 

I'll just guess at these. Results in white:

<font color="white">
1. Dallas, TX is the biggest.
2. Canada.
3. Maine (I'm guessing this is wrong).
4. Alaska is the furthest east.
5. Denver, CO. is highest elevation.
6. MA, for highest population density?
7. FL has the longest coastline.
8. I don't know.
9. I don't know.
10. Illinois has the most land area? (Note: If you count Alaska because of the IDL then the answer is Alaska).
</font>

World Trivia:

<font color="white">
1. Afghanistan, Azjerbaijan(sic?).
2. 6 contintents have a city named rome.
3. I don't know.
4. I don't know.
5. I don't know.
6. Japan has the highest population density.
7. Airport with the world's highest elevation is in...um...Zurich?
</font>

Some of these were damn hard.

Re: Geography trivia
 

The first question is a good trick question. If you excluded Calif, Houston would be the answer. But Southern California extends east from the Tahoe area, but how far? So the answer must be LA.

Rhode Island for population density (2 house seats on hardly any land)

Georgia is the largest state east of Mississippi. I remember this from Jimmy Carter's Presidential campaign.

The Aleutian islands extend over the 180th degreee of longitude into the Eastern hemisphere. (trick question)

On the train/boat question, the answer is probably Chicago (the El, the Illinois River etc. makes it fit the question)

BONUS question: Is Hawaii closer to California or closer to Alaska?

Direction is only sort of relative.

Just like you cannot go north from the north pole, you cannot go east from the International Dateline. Part of Alaska is REAL close to the dateline, so nothing can be farther east.

Hope this makes sense.

I teach geography (in Canada) and I'll give these an honest try without looking. We don't study much US Geog. here but I'd like to think I'm pretty good at the subject [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

4. Hmm, I'll say North Carolina...(hope it's not Maine)
5. Denver? (hope it's not Juneau)
6. I'll say Massachusettes but it's a total guess.
7. Hawaii?
8. I have no clue so I'll say New York
9. I'll wager the capital of Wyoming.. is it Cheyenne or Casper... can't remember... Casper I think. (Juneau is my 2nd choice)
10. Georgia?

World now...

1. Azerbaijan and Afghanistan
2. Wow. I'm gonna guess 6.

Re: Geography trivia
 

you clearly can go east on the international dateline, you cant compare a line to a pole, come on, if thats the best you got then your answer is clearly wrong.

Re: Geography trivia
 

Here's my shot at this:

US:

1. Houston, TX
2. Cuba
3. Minnesota (and NOT Maine)
4. Maine
5. Denver, CO
6. Massachussetts (sp?)
7. Florida
8. New York, NY (VERY badly worded question, I'm not sure what you're asking)
9. Montpelier, VT
10. Illinois

World (some of these are wild guesses, I'm much better with the US one):

1. Afghanistan, Azerbaijan (sp?)
2. Five (I think, if spelled exactly "Rome")
3. North Korea
4. France
5. Peace
6. Luxembourg (I assume you mean "country" and not "county")
7. La Paz, Bolivia

Re: Geography trivia
 

By the way, I see that some people are putting Canada for the second question. I'm not enitrely sure of this. I looked at a map after I submitted my answer and it seems to me that Canada COULD be the correct answer, depending on where exactly in Detroit you start. If you include every possible point within the boundary of Detroit, I'm not 100% sure that Canada would satisfy every point but to me, it doens't seem this way. Is this correct?

Can;t be right. When you surrender, it's no longer your "war" time, is it?

They wouldn't have time to switch em all over between war starting/surrendering, and what'd be the point, you'd only have to turn em all back again in a couple of days [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

so I say Great Britain. We're at perma-war somewhere anyway, so we've never had a peacetime to actually bother turning it over.

In fact I can see that somewhere, someons might say "Turn the flags? Bugger that, let's just start a war somewhere, much easier, what!"

if you think about it, any city is east of another city, one just takes a lot longer. to differentiate (truly) we use the IDL, so if we cut a lin where the IDL was and laid it out cartesian style, alaska would in fact be the farthest right, or east :P

Re: Geography trivia
 

its an arbitrary line, I think its easy to distinguish. If something is x miles east of a place and x +1000 miles west of it. Then it is clearly east of the place. This doesnt change with an imaginary line.
