RE: ❓Steemit Quiz 2025 - Week 14
🧭 Map Story 📖
It's 3 am and I have to catch a flight. The departure is in 2 hours; I left early as the city doesn't sleep at this hour and airport routines take some time here. I took a sigh of relief when we took off right on time.
The flight seemed to drag like forever, yet it wrapped in smallest perfection — the kind only numbers know.
After receiving my luggage, I went underground...
To be continued...
Question 6
Tell the name of the airport, city and country of departure and arrival.
Hint (depature city):
Kings once called me capital,
But now, I wear the crown, it's mine to hold.
The lights shine bright, a city untold,
The pitch is mine, watch me unfold.
By the coast, where the port is grand,
I watch a tower, icon-ically tall at the horizon's band.
Question 7
Q6: Jinnah International Airport (Karachi, Pakistan) to Istanbul, Turkey
Q7: Went underground to take the train into the city center.
✅️
Finally. I thought I gave enough clues about Karachi—City of Lights, Karachi Kings of PSL, coastal city, Port Grand, Icon Tower (South Asia's tallest) but I guess it was the flight time that helped. 😀
I gave a hint about flight duration too—the smallest perfect number.
I went underground at Istanbul Airport to catch a metro to the old city center.
I think @the-gorillla should get a point for Q7.
For me personally, I ruled out Karachi right away since you're from Pakistan! it felt way too obvious! 😂🤣 Turns out, sometimes we overthink it and end up way off! I did catch the “smallest perfect number” hint with 6, but that whole “city that doesn’t sleep” part had me spinning in all directions!
Yep, Gorilla can have that point.
And I was like why they are not considering the most obvious. 😆
I'm struggling... the times don't line up but I'm going with:
Q6: JFK, New York City, USA - flying to London Heathrow, England.
Q7: Heathrow's on the Piccadilly line which will get you into Central London.
I know it's wrong but let's drop something here!
Q6: 👎
There are more cities in the world which don't sleep at night. 💡
Q7: You arrived at the wrong place but thinking in the right direction.
Another possibility than the correct answer! I think we need more clues!
Q6: BKK (Thailand) to HND (Japan)
Q7: You went underground to catch the Tokyo subway/metro from the airport into the city.
Q6: 👎
Q7: Wrong locations but you are right about why I went underground. the-gorillla thought it first, so he'll get half point for it.
Clue for city of departure coming soon...
Q1: BCN Barcelona (Spain) to DOH Doha (Qatar).
Q2: You head underground to use Doha’s Metro from the airport.
I started from somewhere between Bangkok and Barcelona.
If you get the first location right, it would be easier to find the arrival location.
You start at Istanbul Airport (IST) and go to Algier.
👎
If you get the first location right, it would be easier to find the arrival location.
Focus on the hint.
Focusing the hint for me the starting point is Barcelona. But the is no departure at 5:00 am…
I took off from somewhere in the East.
Keywords are in italics in the hint.
I was too sleepy at that hour so I could only think of 5:00 am but if it helps then it was 5:50 am to be exact.
Dubai (DXB) to Doha (Hamad International Airport). Metro inclusive... 😎
Close but not correct.
Updated the hint with a picture.
You are flying from Tokio Haneda (HND) to Hong Kong International.
The very fast and modern Airport Express (MTR) goes directly to the city center (e.g., Kowloon, Hong Kong Station).
Q6: 👎
Q7: Wrong locations but you are right about why I went underground. the-gorillla thought it first, so he'll get half point for it.
Clue for city of departure coming soon...
