Contest #33
Contest #32 Answer
Sorry for the delay in getting this up. I’ve been in Papua New Guinea which, believe it or not, is not a very wired country. Even when I could find an internet connection, I was usually connected with a 14.4kb modem. Barely good enough to use Gmail, let alone Google Earth.
Anyway…
This was a pretty easy one. The correct answer is the Nazca Lines in Peru. I think it is self evident that this is proof that aliens have visited Earth. Who else but ET could draw crude lines in the desert?

Contest #31 Answer
Wow. Contest #30 was really a stumper. All-time low for correct answers. A whopping two people got this one right. The correct answer is the Lonar Crater in India. It was created abotu 55,000 years ago and is partially filled with salt water. It is the only salt water crater lake in the world and one of the only craters made in basalt. Because of this (the basalt part) some scientists think it might be the best example on Earth of the type of craters found on Mars.
Skip from Austin and Karel get gold stars this week and a letter from the teacher to put on the fridge.

Contest #30 Answer
The answer to contest #30 is Brazil’s Congresso Nacional (National Congress) building. It was designed in the 1960s by Oscar Niemeyer. I have a feeling the Brazilian felt they would be the leaders in a future which had flying cards and jet packs and needed a building to reflect that. But as the saying goes, “Brazil is the country of the future….and always will be”.
