 Topic: Help each other earn a rest! NZ questions
Posted: 18 October 2010 at 9:54am |
|
Looks like we can win a 25k holiday package and other stuff on this site. Don’t think many people know about it so we could do pretty well! They all seem to be NZ based about the Telstra ads. The easier one today is Mayor Island I'm almost certain, but not too sure what the harder one is:
“TC and Bill roared through Tauranga in search of their next destination. “What’s this place called, then?” asked Bill. TC replied, “Just think of Mayfair, only if your nose was blocked.” Which suburb are they looking for? (7 characters)
I want to say Papamoa as that’s near Tauranga and fits the character limit but it doesn’t really fit the question?
link for the questions is here anyway: http://www.jointhejourney.co.nz/mark.cfm

Oooh I love this kind of thing! Thanks for directing my attention! I believe you are right about the first answer- looks pretty correct.
When I went to the link, it had a (8) afterward so that means 8 characters? I thought perhaps it was Te Maunga as that could sound like Tauranga with your nose blocked, but still doesnt really answer the question either...

Yeah weird, they changed it from 7 to 8 then back to 7 again  good thinking with Bayfair, makes a lot more sense than my idea. Just waiting on them to put today's one up, good little thing to do to break work up a bit!

Today's hard one is Western Bay, they had a tip in the blog! But the easy one I'm not because I haven't seen the ad?

Nice!
Todays:
“Hey Bill, this is a great lake to go on a mixed up oar tour,” said TC. Unscramble the two mixed-up words to find out where TC and Bill are today. (7)
and
“We’re just 100kms from my favourite holiday spot,” said TC. “Am I going to have to guess again?” asked Bill. “The clue is that New Zealand’s biggest flower stems from there,” said TC. (4,5)

Easy Question: Sulphur City
Hard question: whakarewarewa ( Where houses and kites aren’t really ever welcome, and recreations – even walking – are)
 Sadly I missed out on yesterdays though as I didnt touch the computer all day!

Yeah how come LittleMiss? Can they block people??
todays ones
In the second TV ad, what colour is the horse that TC and Bill are riding? (5)
As a galaxy of pinpoints shone down, TC picked up Bill's receiver and heard an odd sound. "It's the messy smiletone," Bill said apologetically. "This whole place is, come to think of it." What is Bill talking about?
The horse is white I know that one for sure!

Yeah I can't enter either, my DH works for TC. I'm guessing LittleMiss works there or a family member does.
