* NOTE: MC #2, #5, #6 & #9 have experienced a one hour adjustment to their times since last week, but remember that this adjustment will NOT affect the photoperiod. Due to daylight savings time starting or ending in the coming weeks, you may see one hour changes at other locations.
Challenge Question #3:
"Can you explain why the Daylight Savings Time change does NOT change the photoperiod?"
(To respond to this question, please follow the instructions below.)
CLUES from Your Mystery Friends
Mystery Class:
#1 "The temperate climate of our city is characteristic of the river's coastal plain."
#2 "Our country's flag has an animal on it."
#3 "In 1519, our country was invaded by determined conquerors who collected 'shipfulls' of silver and other minerals."
#4 "Our official languages here are Spanish and Quechua."
#5 "We are approximately 5 million people in our country"
#6 "English is the main language spoken in our country but we have an unusual way of changing words in conversation by using 'o' or 'ie'. For example a musician becomes a muso, a person with the surname Smith becomes Smithie. We often use descriptive slang to describe occupations. For example a teacher is called a chalkie, a carpenter is called a chippie, and a bricklayer is called a brickie."
#7 "We are surrounded by water."
#8 "Life here consists of seabirds, lichens, mosses, mites, marine mammals, and fish."
#9 "A few of our national products are chocolates, lace, endive and beer."
