Daft Competitions

[Griffin NoName]

Roll up, roll up. Try your luck in the Competition Thread.

And our first Daft Competition is:

Which thread has been read the most times?  Tell us the title of the thread and how many times it has been read. Competition will close at unspecified time. Answers will be judged on accuracy and merit.

[Sibling Chatty]

Answers:
1) Not this one.
2) I forget.
3) I can't count that high.

Did I win??

[Griffin NoName]

Yep DD won that competition. Afraid everyone else had to be disqualified.

[Sibling Chatty]

Next daft competition.

If we visited the birth countries of Dead Poet, Sibling Aggie and Sibling Zono (Anon1mato), how many oceans would we have to cross??

(This contest expires sometime before the end of the century.)

[Griffin NoName]

I'm guessing this is a trick question. Does it involve borders being closed? Given the time limit on entries it seems it might the way things are going.

[Bob in a quantum-state-of-faith]

Just one.  They're all the same ocean. yes?

[Sibling Chatty]

It IS a trick question.

Ignore the borders, just the waters.

Yes, they're all one ocean, but Bob's answer isn't technically correct.

[Sibling Kephra (Tansy)]

You would have to cross the Atlantic ocean.

[Griffin NoName]

Now DD says they are all one ocean. There's clearly a clue in the word all.

It's more than one ocean that merges into one bigger expanse of ocean.

Possibly layered vertically. 

[Sibling Chatty]

The big question is, who can remember, from a former location, where Dead Poet was born??

(Hint. Not in a country that's a member of the EU.)

[Griffin NoName]

Sounds like Location, Location, Location (a UK TV show).

Does Dead Poet remember where he was born?

I was driving across Russia once, without a map as they were not allowed, and hit a sea. No idea which until I got home. But then I ignored Geography in school. I didn't even know there were seas anywhere round there. But that was a sea not an ocean.

[Sibling Chatty]

Hitting seas seems a bit unplanned, tis true...

DP does remember where he was born.

(Clue to answer. OR maybe answer... You cross no oceans, only a canal.)

[Black Bart]

Not a 'Route Canal', I hate route canals!

Panama?

[Sibling Chatty]

Yaaaarrrr.

Ye cross no oceans, seas, etc.

Only the Panama Canal.

Two of the three were born on the North American continent, one on the South American!!


And the next Daft Competition?? Other that some of the ones taking place in US polling places??
