The Challenge text says If I were a crow…
Crows flies in straight lines : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/As_the_crow_flies
In the picture of the Challenge, we can read this :
The small island I’d cross
Where I’d first meet the sea
On the shores of the second lake
I’d still spy from up high
We know the answers of the week :
- Orlando
- Petra
- Cotswolds
- Djenne
- Frutillar
If we follow these 5 places on a map and trace straight lines :
We get 4 lines :
- From Orlando to Petra
- From Petra to Cotswolds
- From Cotswolds to Djenne
- From Djenne to Frutillar
The first sentence from the text The small island I’d cross means we need to find a small island from Orlando to Petra
We find Alderley, a small island perfectly on the path
From the second sentence Where I’d first meet the sea and the map line from Petra to Cotswolds
We find Dunkirk, just before the sea
From the third sentence On the shores of the second lake and the map line from Cotswolds to Djenne
We find Vinuesa, a city in Spain, next to a lake
From the fourth sentence I’d still spy from up high and the map line from Djenne to Frutillar
We find Buenos Aires
Using Alderney, Dunkirk, Vinuesa and Buenos Aires in the picture, over the dashes :
Some letters are over RED dashes : LD DI EA EA
Let’s find a word with these letters. We can use an anagram solver like http://anagram-solver.net/
The solution is Adelaide
