| QUIZ (10): Again I have divided a picture of (part of) an historic monument in TRNC in 20 squares...
▶ The two questions: WHAT is it, WHERE is it..?!
▶ I'll fill one or two squares at random times - but there'll be no winner in this Quiz if in the end I have to uncover more than 15 sqyares...
▶ Here and there I'll give a cryptic hint or some info in this thread...
▶ The prize in this Quiz: an invitation for two for an "Historical Walk of your choice.
OK, here we go again: expats and swallows, show your knowledge about Northern Cyprus... I hope to see new participants in this thread...

P.S. Level of difficulty of this Quiz: EXTREMELY DIFFICULT...

| HINT-2: I've made one of the covered squares on the Quiz-picture a "hot spot" ( = clickable). Find and click the correct clickable square and you'll see an important hint... But, although you can see the text - I bet you can't read it... |

| Sorry Hans, not had too much time today - busy stripping in the front room (old habits die hard ;-0)
Had a couple of vague ideas which I followed up but nothing worth risking your wrath for a bad guess.

No. Absolutely NO. Not at all. Completely wrong. Nice try though. |

| @ Darrener2: You're excused.
@ Bill: the British community in Northern Cyprus is waiting for your next brilliant idea. Your problem is that I don't belong to the British community. |

HINT-1 : This ....... was not built during the Genoese rule of Famagusta although they needed such a facility also... |

| A water sink at the top of the cobbled and stepped street leading up from the harbour to near the shop selling sailing stuff. |

| Msg 21, Jetski: No. Msg 22, Tootie: Maybe. Msg 23, Woodspeckie: No. Msg 24, No1Doyen: Bill, your behaviour has definitely improved. In previous Quizzes you tried to score petty points with answers like "It's in North Cyprus" and this one "It's in Girne" is a lot better. Keep trying, but don't use your power as a Moderator to change previous posts in this thread after I've givven the solution of this Quiz-10... Msg 25, Clarissa2: Oder was? Falsch!
END OF QUIZ-10, because I had to uncover more than 15 squares (Rule in message 1). This is a great day in your Quizmaster's life: NO winner!
