Final Clues From Your Mystery Friends
Correction:
Thanks to Mrs. Sabotta's students in Iron River, Michigan for
noticing a mistake in last week's clue for Mystery Class #9. The
clue SHOULD have read as follows:
"We're only 4,700 km away from Mystery Class #7 and if we continued to Mystery Class #8 we would have travelled 10,000 km."
Here are this week's clues:
# 1. "If you subtract the population of our city in 1990 from our city's zipcode, divide that number by 7 and round off to the nearest whole number you get 9,836."
# 2. "Most students who visit our city like to see one building best. It's made of sandstone but got its name because it's painted."
# 3. "Home to the world's first heart transplant."
# 4. "Last year gunmen attempted to kill our president when he visited the capitol of a neighboring country."
# 5. "We live 1,400 miles from the world's largest rock and in the capitol city."
# 6. Our latitude is about 3 degrees south of our capitol city's latitude and we live in the only region of our country where there are active volcanos."
# 7. "Worbab is to the north and Enubuj is the to the east."
# 8. "The Maori people reached our country before and during the 14th century."
# 9. "We live approximately 3,700 km from the deepest point in the deepest trench in the ocean."
#10. "If you visited our country in 1995 and exchanged $1 U.S. for our currency you would get about 6 xxxxx back."
The Next Mystery Class Update Will be Posted on May 10, 1996.
