  • Next message: Kate Whelan: "Challenge Question #6, Grade 4/5"

     Our entry, emailed to the correct address above last night bounced! My apologies if this has in fact already been received and is a duplicate, but owing to the shortness of the time, and the devastation the class (and I ) would feel if it didn't get there, I am taking the liberty of re-emailing it, using the normal as well as your alternate address. Crossing our fingers here ... **************************************************************

    It has been a regular geographic eco-challenge for the students of Mr Ward's Grade 12

    Earth and Space Science course at Ajax HS, Ontario, Canada this year.

    He has had us divided into 6 competitive groups working on our answers week by week since day one, and giving us marks as our answers converge on the final joint class effort.

    He won't tell us the answers but he badgers us with trick questions when we are wrong until most of the groups agree. Then we put our best answers together for our final entry:

    MC1 44d59m N 72d05m W Vermont, USA Derby Line

    MC2 21d19m N 157d51m W Hawaii USA Honolulu

    MC3 18d54m S 47d30m E Madagascar Antananarivo

    MC4 18d32m N 72d20m W Haiti Port-au-Prince

    MC5 53d13m N 6d34m E The Netherlands Groningen

    MC6 13d27m N 16d35m W The Gambia Banjul

    MC7 90d00m S 0d00m E* Antarctica Amunsden-Scott Base South Pole

    MC8 0d23m N 9d27m E Gabon Libreville

    MC9 50d17m N 2d45m E France Arras

    MC10 8d26m N 83d30m W Costa Rica Parc Nacional Corcovado

    *South Pole station is a special location. They observe the same time as New Zealand, where most of the supply traffic flies from. This is GMT +12, which corresponds to 180d E, or Christchurch (172d30m E), but the Official Web site uses the longitude above. Tony (VE3NO) ComputerViz; NYAA StarFest on-line <
