Lackattack is lost.

He was responding to a Craigslist ad promising a truly random number generator to fix the rigged dice, when he was attacked by hundreds of mechanical mice created by an evil scientist named Algore. After running furiously for hours on end, and becoming extremely disoriented and very tired, he decided to pole vault a nearby gate using his Bo, and hide out until help arrives. The mice can't jump the fence, but they're chewing through it as we speak.

You need to determine Lack's location, so the rest of his pizza-scarfing reptile buddies can put it in the Party Wagon's GPS.

You may use 20 yes or no questions to narrow down Lack's exact location. The winner will provide the street address where Lack is.

In order to encourage participation (and perhaps conserve precious questions), every question must be seconded before it will be answered. As long as questions are seconded, they can all be asked by the same person, or any number of people.

Your biggest clue is a snapshot of Lack's location from Google Maps Street View.

Good luck, and happy hunting!

This is good, b/c there are no South American streetview locations, Lack is NOT in South America.

So the seconded question is: "Is Lack in Europe" or "Is Lack in Western Europe"?

Quotes complicate things ;)

I believe we have "Is Lack in Europe" seconded. Now the question is, maybe its not important, but does Europe include the Canary Islands or are they in Africa?

Canary islands are included in europe. Don't they belong to spain or some such country, anyway?

Perhaps you can figure out the country, when you get to the point, by either land area or population...hm.
