STEEM ATLAS : The Atlas Quiz 02 - Let's Go On Holiday [05 Jan '25]

in #steem-atlas2 days ago

Thank you to everyone who took part in the first Atlas Quiz.

The joint winners of that quiz were @the-gorilla, @disconnect, and @inspiracion who each found the answer to one of the three questions.

@event-horizon, @soulfuldreamer, and @ayesha0018 also joined in.

For the second Atlas Quiz I invite you to join me on a short holiday...



The Atlas Quiz #2 - Let's Go On Holiday

It's very cold, dark and miserable here in Wales at this time of the year so I have decided to go on a short holiday to somewhere warmer for a week or two.

You can come along with me if you can solve the clues and find the relevant posts on Steem Atlas...


Question #1 - The Airport

I'm heading south to my nearest airport to set off on my holiday.

The taxi seemed to take the long way round but we did see Deadpool on the way.

Which airport am I flying from and where was Deadpool?


Question #2 - The First Destination

It's good to be somewhere warmer.

The flight was only about two and half hours and using some clever inTUItion I got the tickets for only £77. Bargain!

I am spending a couple of days here looking round.

Lots to see - even some sort of giant Rubik's Cube...

And they do love Street Art here...

Which city am I in?

And can you find the Cube and the Street Art on two posts on Steem Atlas?


Bonus Question #3 - Where next?

After I have finished here, I'll be moving forward by bus.

Two and half hours again.

Swapping transportation again there.

Then it will be on to a land of gladiators, mummy's and a man who knew too much.

Where might I be going next?

(No Atlas posts for this yet - just good guesses🙂)



Prizes

I'll be spicing this one up with some STEEM, as well as votes, for the winners.

5 STEEM for each of the three questions.

I will also be voting on interesting and insightful comments along the way.



I hope you will enjoy this second quiz.

It is designed to encourage people to explore and use Steem Atlas.

Feedback and suggestions about contest formats and Steem Atlas generally are welcome.

Happy travels...

"I don't know if I can answer you here in the comments or if I need to make a post, I haven't quite understood.

Anyway, for question 1, you could say Cardiff because you're Welsh, but actually, you mentioned Deadpool, and if I'm not mistaken, that film was shot in the caves of Hertfordshire in England, so I might think you left from Luton Airport. However, there are also other airports nearby.

For question 2, I can confidently say Malaga, because the cube is very famous and has been towering over the Andalusian city's port for several years, and Malaga is famous worldwide for street art.

For question 3, you could say Marracash or Morocco, even though your initial statements about gladiators and mummies made me think of Italy. But then, 'The Man Who Knew Too Much' is an Alfred Hitchcock film, if I'm not mistaken, a rather old film that was shot in Marrakech at the beginning. So, in my opinion, you're going to Morocco.

I must say, this quiz story is very fun."

My departure airport was Cardiff - see the post that @soulfuldreamer found with Deadpool for confirmation.


Congratulations on getting Question 2 correct - it is Malaga.

For future reference, if you can find the posts where the photo excerpts come from as well that wins extra !


For Question 3 you are definitely on the right track.

Look out for the next round of the quiz tomorrow for more information.

5 STEEM heading your way very shortly.


Glad you like this quiz format. Answering in a comment (rather than a post) is best.

I hope you don't mind my enthusiasm. I'm so hooked to this quiz. I have found your starting location and hence the answer to question # 1:

Which airport am I flying from and where was Deadpool?

You headed south to the capital city of Wales, Cardiff. And you spotted Deadpool there :)

Congratulations on getting the first question.

Yes, I set off from Cardiff Airport.

I had planned to go to Faro in Portugal but the flights to there from Cardiff don't start again until April.

5 STEEM will be heading your way shortly.

Thank you for this interesting quiz, and, of course, the Steem!

It has been improving my geography, and I virtually traveled to new places yesterday. Your atlas, I must say, is bringing all those "dead" posts to life and making me (at least) more knowledgeable in terms of maps, geography, and famous landmarks.

Looking forward to the next one :)

Question no: 2

Answer: You are in Malaga Spain.

One of the posts:

Yes the first destination is Malaga.

But @hotspotitaly got in first on this one.


The post you mention is not the right post though for the cube.

Can anyone find the exact post where the photo excerpt comes from?

And this is the post #2, pertaining to street art from Malaga, Spain.
