Here are the Mystery Class locations based on the painstaking,
brain-busting calculations and research of the fifth graders at East Hills
International Studies Academy:

#1 Buenos Aires, Argentina (34S, 58W)
#2 Ruse, Bulgaria (43.8N, 26E) or Nova Zagora, Bulgaria (48N, 26E)
#3 McMurdo Station, Antarctica (77.8S, 166E)
#4 St. John, New Brunswick, Canada (45.25N, 66W)
#5 Wellington, New Zealand (41S, 175E)
#6 Rhein-Main Air Force Base near Frankfort, Germany (50N, 9E)
#7 Hong Kong, China (22.25N, 114E)
#8 Harare, Zimbabwe (17.8S, 31.5E)
#9 Singapore, Singapore (1.3N,103.8E)
#10 ???, Norway (70-80N, 27E)

This was hard, but fun. We used lots of maps, reference books, and the
web after we had done the sun times calculations. The day lengths graph
was interesting.
