Ignoring that Australia cannot be defined as an island - Australia was as big before it was discovered (by a European in the case given). If it's the biggest of anything I'm betting single country.

Wow Peppercorn, omid impressed!!!!!!!!!! [8D]

Thank you Imatfaal [:)]

A murderer is condemned to death. He has to choose between three rooms. The first is full of raging fires, the second is full of assassins with loaded guns, and the third is full of lions that haven't eaten in 3 years. Which room is safest for him? [;)]

Good news about B5 is that it was released a few weeks ago in a semi rural area near Greytown, hopefully to a full life.

I know chameleons can do so, very nice they are, but rather rare here.

I do think the answer is still twelve, though.


Mayhaps the other is an insect or an arachnid, both have large compound eyes, so they probably can see 360 degrees.

If the clock just chimed then it won't chime again in 10 seconds, it will chime in about quarter of an hour.

In one I am two, observed or cut.
In two I am one, on high or in pain.
But in all three ways,
I sound just the same.

Ahhh, but Omid never thought to ask her old superhero friend John. You know, the one with the super intelligence.

Look, it's easy...

In the word 'one' I am letter number two, ie 'N'.
In the word 'two' I am letter number one, ie 'T'
'on high' means you add those two letters to the word 'over'
All this makes the word 'ntover' which is a little known outer mongolian word from the Darhan region of Ulaanbaatar, meaning 'just the same'. See? Simples.

Next time you're stuck dont forget to ask!
