message 1415: by Jan, Moderator (new)

Jan | 20734 comments No - its not in Greenland. Look closer at the eastern/western map. There are countries close to the divide that are in both eastern and western.

Jillian | 1572 comments (I learned parts of UK, parts of France, & Ireland are actually part of the Western Hemisphere which I did not realize until tonight while studying maps trying to figure out where Jan is taking us. But I'm lost and hope someone can solve this one.)


message 1417: by Jan, Moderator (new)

Jan | 20734 comments I actually learned it too. I choose the location and then freaked out because I wasn't sure what hemisphere it was in.

message 1421: by Allison (last edited Jun 03, 2018 07:43PM) (new)

Allison | 1002 comments I’m switching tactics and going for what its purpose is and not where it’s located.

Is it Religious in intent?


message 1422: by Jan, Moderator (last edited Jun 04, 2018 06:40AM) (new)

Me too Jillian!


message 1427: by [deleted user] (new)

Up early :) was on my way to work :)

Is it in a country that is completely in the western hemisphere?


message 1428: by Jillian (new)

Jillian | 1572 comments (Based on Jan’s link it has to be in the UK, France or Spain ).

Jillian wrote: "(Based on Jan’s link it has to be in the UK, France or Spain )."

Sorry! I didn't open it because I thought it would only show where the line between the hemispheres is and I roughly know that


message 1430: by Jillian (new)

Jillian | 1572 comments Rosa, I could be wrong but those three are in white and the rest of Europe is orange. So from the hint when Ireland was guessed I think that we are down to those three.


message 1431: by Jan, Moderator (last edited Jun 04, 2018 06:40AM) (new)

Chie - this question was already asked in question 11 so I'm not going to count the answer as another question. It is not a church but one of the buildings may have been used for religious purposes at one time.


message 1433: by Jillian (new)

message 1437: by [deleted user] (new)

is it a castle?


message 1438: by Jan, Moderator (new)

Jan | 20734 comments This is a hard one. It was multi-functional and is not called a castle so I'm going to say no. But when I google about it the word "castle" is sometimes used in some of the descriptions though not in its name.

1. Human made? YES
2. Northern Hemisphere? YES
3. Western Hemisphere? YES
4. Is in in US? NO
5. Is it in Central America? NO
6. Is it in Mexico? NO
7. Is it a city? NO
8. Is it in North America? NO
9. Is it in Greenland? NO
10. Iceland/Ireland? NO
11. Is it Religious in intent? NO
12. Is it in Europe? YES
13. Is it a country that is completely in the western hemisphere? NO, but the location is in the western hemisphere.
14. Is it an UNESCO World Heritage Site? YES
15. Is it in the UK? NO
16. Is it a castle? NO/MAYBE because the word castle is not in the name but the term is sometimes used is the descriptions online.


message 1439: by Jillian (last edited Jun 04, 2018 12:28PM) (new)

Jillian | 1572 comments Is it in a landlocked providence? (I think that is the correct term being that there are regions and within each region there are providences).


message 1440: by [deleted user] (last edited Jun 04, 2018 12:49PM) (new)

ok, I'll definitely let somebody else solve this... because I have NO idea. every UWH site that sounds promising is either not in correct part of the country, or it's a religious building or some castle/palace thingie... I really have no more idea :)


message 1441: by Jan, Moderator (new)

Jan | 20734 comments Sorry guys!! So to clarify, we've established it's in Europe and in a country that is split between the two hemispheres. It's not in the UK so that leaves only two countries it could be in - France or Spain.

In response to Jillian's question - the country it is in does have provinces but the province it is in is NOT landlocked. So your answer is a no.

And I'm going to give you a big hint. There is an important word in Rosa's above rant above. Its not labeled a castle but it is often called the other word she used.

1. Human made? YES
2. Northern Hemisphere? YES
3. Western Hemisphere? YES
4. Is in in US? NO
5. Is it in Central America? NO
6. Is it in Mexico? NO
7. Is it a city? NO
8. Is it in North America? NO
9. Is it in Greenland? NO
10. Iceland/Ireland? NO
11. Is it Religious in intent? NO
12. Is it in Europe? YES
13. Is it a country that is completely in the western hemisphere? NO, but the location is in the western hemisphere.
14. Is it an UNESCO World Heritage Site? YES
15. Is it in the UK? NO
16. Is it a castle? NO/MAYBE because the word castle is not in the name but the term is sometimes used is the descriptions online.
17. Is it in a landlocked providence? NO


message 1442: by [deleted user] (new)

I think it's in Spain because there's just such a small part of France in the question and eveeything I could find there is Mont St Michel, so I want to make a dangerous guess: is it the Alhambra?


message 1443: by Jillian (new)

Jillian | 1572 comments Rosa, I’m also fairly certain it is in Spain since France just has regions they abolished providences which I learned after I asked my question.


message 1444: by Jan, Moderator (new)

Jan | 20734 comments There you go!!! You guessed it Rosa :)

It's the Alhambra Palace/Fortress in Granada Spain.

1. Human made? YES

3. Western Hemisphere? YES
4. Is in in US? NO
5. Is it in Central America? NO
6. Is it in Mexico? NO

8. Is it in North America? NO
9. Is it in Greenland? NO
10. Iceland/Ireland? NO
11. Is it Religious in intent? NO
12. Is it in Europe? YES
13. Is it a country that is completely in the western hemisphere? NO, but the location is in the western hemisphere.
14. Is it an UNESCO World Heritage Site? YES
15. Is it in the UK? NO
16. Is it a castle? NO/MAYBE because the word castle is not in the name but the term is sometimes used is the descriptions online.
17. Is it in a landlocked providence? NO
18. Is it the Alhambra? YES


message 1445: by [deleted user] (new)

Oh great! I've only tried to go with it after your last hint, because castle and palace were too much the same thing for me before...

I hope you don't mind, but I'm going to be a bad host and go to bed now since it's rather late for me.. but I have something in my mind and you can start the questioning, I'll answer first thing in the morning


message 1446: by Jan, Moderator (new)

Jan | 20734 comments Go to bed Rosa - you can start the game in the morning!!


message 1447: by Jillian (new)

Jillian | 1572 comments WTG, Rosa!


message 1448: by Jillian (new)

Jillian | 1572 comments I reread your message and see you have a location so I will go ahead and ask the first question.

Is it human made?


message 1449: by [deleted user] (new)

No, Jillian, it's not

1. Is it human made? NO


message 1450: by Jillian (new)

Jillian | 1572 comments Is it in the Southern Hemisphere?
