Mystery Class	Clues April 6, 2007
#1	"Our city is a major meeting point of highway, rail, sea and air travel. People say we have water on three sides, and mountains on the other. Our many city parks are reknowned, with one, named after the man in this photo, having a great wall that took decades to build."
#2	"The capital city of our prefecture (not our city) is on our island, which is said to be the largest island in our prefecture. Our island was the site of one of the final battles of WWII, and since that time it has been the home of many military bases for a country other than ours. "Our village is located along the western shore of the central district of our Island. Although our village's western shoreline does face west, it actually extends into something east--do you sea? Our village symbol is a flying phoenix, because from an aerial view the geographic outline is said to resemble a phoenix."
#3	"Last year, we celebrated the fiftieth anniversary of the founding of our first station here, and we're now in our fifth station, shown above. Three buildings of our fifth station are on steel legs, which are jacked up annually to keep them clear of the accumulated snowfall. "During our winter, our only natural light will be an occasional illumination from Aurora Australis like the Aurora shown in this photo of one of our buildings -- this is because we have about 105 days of darkness here during our winter. Being located as we are at Earth's extremities, the Sun's daily and seasonal patterns are very different from locations in Earth's mid latitudes or tropics. For instance, this week you may have noticed that our time keeping 'slipped' by three full hours, due to the unique time zone practices we observe. And one last thing, the longitude of our location is actually west of Greenwich, not east, by about the same number of degrees you calculated in the equinox clue-- just to clear up some confusion. "
#4	"Despite its name, you are not forbidden from visiting this city within our city, but you won't be able to see it all at once, as there are around 9,000 rooms."
#5	"Our city shares its name with the river on whose banks we are located. One section of a multi-section, long distance bicycle Tour of our continent will end in our city in early April."
#6	"This Pagoda in our city rises in the range of 100 meters in height, and can be see from many parts of the city."
#7	"This unique building is a famous art museum located on a famous avenue in our city."
#8	"Our location is on one of the seven islands in our archipelago. To get away from our location, you have to take an Enemar or a Saremar ...unless you have wings or want to swim."
#9	"We are not the country's most populated city, but we're near the top with an elevation above 9,000 feet..."
#10	"The owner of a famous racehorse lives in our city. The horse recently made history for taking a cup three times, and this statue of her is displayed in our city on our shore -- she's known to be somewhat of a diva."
