Latest WHF competition

[Petherick]

As a resident of Suffolk, I have to ask - is Cambridge really in any of the 3 regions listed? I thought it was east midlands...

 

[professorhat]

Petherick:is Cambridge really in any of the 3 regions listed?

Yes it is. To be honest, even if you really don't have access to Google for some reason, there's two which it fairly obviously isn't in...

 

[Petherick]

No, the region mentioned contains Norfolk, Suffolk and possibly the Isle of Ely. NOT Cambridge.

 

[professorhat]

Well, without giving the competition away completely (cough), I suggest you check which counties are in the region of East Anglia again (cough)...

 

[hammill]

Petherick:No, the region mentioned contains Norfolk, Suffolk and possibly the Isle of Ely. NOT Cambridge.Formerly a standard statistical region, for administrative purposes East Anglia now forms part of the East of England government office region and is defined as a Level 2 Nomenclature of Territorial Units for Statistics, comprising the counties of Norfolk, Suffolk and Cambridgeshire including the city of Peterborough unitary authority area.

 

[Petherick]

I started this with a smile on my face. I'm beginning to frown now. It's a local thing....

 

[The_Lhc]

The Wikipedia entry for Cambridge gives the answer and it agrees with the Prof.

I entered the quiz before I checked that though, I did give the right answer but I wasn't 100% sure.

 

[Petherick]

For administrative purposes, we live in Europe, apparently. I don't remember voting for that or for the EERA. So as I said, I started with a smile, now it's getting serious.

 

[Petherick]

Try Wikipedia'ing East Anglia, then. You can't trust it, you know.

 

[professorhat]

If you don't like Wiki, try here...

Try Wiki' ing East Midlands too.........

Well at least the legal necessity for a competition to require 'reasonable skill' is being met...

I think this month's competition is quite hard compared to the previous ones.

Do we get to find out who won last months?

Thanks

 

[professorhat]

True, at least the answer wasn't given in the paragraph leading up to the question this time...

 

[ESP2009]

I'm going there tomorrow as it happens - shall I do a survey while I am touring the various hostelries?

 

[Big Aura]

professorhat:True, at least the answer wasn't given in the paragraph leading up to the question this time...

ha! I read, re-read and then re-re-read the para and thought I was having a moron moment. Having to resort to wikipedia to answer a WHF quiz; what next?!

+1 on this request please - I'm hoping I've won and you just haven't told me yet....

He's been busy, OK?!?!?

 

[Alec]

What comp is this? Am i too late? Mind, i might have entered and forgot.

 

[The_Lhc]

Presumably it's the S5 comp we're waiting on now.

The CA/QA system - great prize

 

[The_Lhc]

Hmm, one would hope the S5 comp winners will be announced before the CA prize is...
