8/11/05 | 3:57 pm | Bounty: Honey Bee

click to search using Google MapsFound this sort of cool configuration of buildings and swimming pools(?) that sort of look like a honeybee. Or perhaps it’s a paper wasp instead. I’m not sure, the only thing I know for sure is that this is going to be your latest bounty.

This feature requires about 14/18 magnification in order to see it. I’ll give a continent hint again: Asia.

I’ve been a little short of prizes but Judy B came to the rescue the other day with a Scavengeroogle Bounty care package. I should have some more scavenger hunt prizes coming up soon but this will definitely hold me over for awhile.

click to search using Google MapsJudy’s in Indiana, specifically near Notre Dame and has thoughtfully sent over a bunch of geographic prizes from there. Unfortunately, one of the main things I’m sure that you’d all like to talk about is Notre Dame football, Fighting Irish and whatnot… but I actually know zilcho about football, so… er, anyhow. Well, I do know that Notre Dame has a pretty long history, established in 1842 according to the postcard. The first up are going to be a set of nice postcards. Postcard one is of the Hammes Notre Dame Bookstore and postcard two is of Notre Dame Stadium.

I know a lot of you are in college (or work at colleges) so you probably can tell me much more interesting things about Notre Dame than I can look up on the web. Thus I’ll refrain from any long winded descriptions. All right, luck and leprechauns be with you, fighting irish and all that…

SOLUTION STARTS HERE

Quick bounty again. Oh wells… I can’t seem to keep up more than one active at a time! You’re all so fast! Anyhow, this was solved by senior ‘roogler Mike M who says:

Took about 10 minutes. It looked like it was probably from the persian gulf, so thats where I looked when I found it.

I sort of suspected that it would get solved quickly after posting. In addition, Aaron B. wrote in to say that he had found the clue in an earlier search but was going to let someone else collect the bounty since he already knew the answer. That’s right neighborly of you Aaron…

The honey bee was in the United Arab Emirates. This time, I was sure to look up in Wikipedia to see what “continent” it was from, though I pretty much knew it had to be Asia. I thought it was an interesting shaped building and the swimming pools were pretty neat. Anyone know what this is? It seems like a palace or something…
