Where in the World is Gilligan? [Winner 72o]

Postby jpcloet on Thu Dec 24, 2009 12:08 pm

I thought this game was quite fun to watch. Figured I'd start one. Shout out to 72o for putting this game on.

Gilligan is lost.

He was taking Lackattack's advice to travel to France, and decided to take a week long tour. Sure enough, Gilligan got lost on his very first boat tour. You'd think he would have learned by now. (He's really lost....)

You need to determine Gilligan's location, and you may use 20 yes or no questions to narrow down Gilligan's exact location. The winner will provide the street address where he 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 Gilligan's location from his cell phone. (aka Google Maps Street View.)

Good luck, and happy hunting!

It doesn't look like the UK - but could even be one of the US forces stations near me - where's our tree expert?
In the meantime I prefer Northen / Southern hemisphere questions.

So 2nd is he in northern hemisphere

Well a "No!" before the mod answers the question usually counts as undoing the 2nd, so it won't count.

Ok, well on that note...

Judging by the fact that the quote I found on Texaco limits them to 95% in he Northern Hemisphere as is... perhaps we should go East or West instead of North or South?

Based on the features in the picture, I still say the US. The building/house on the right side looks more north american than latin america. The tree looks more like it is in the western part of the country. There is a Mack truck in the yard which admittantly could be latin america or north america. I still say let my original question stand, since colton 2nd already.

Edit: That tree looks to be a type of fir.

No no no. Remember my post from page 1 in reference to Colton:


Five seconds on Google wrote:The Texaco brand is strong in the United States, Latin America and West Africa. It has a presence in Europe as well; for example, it is a well-known retail brand in the UK, with around 1,100 Texaco-branded service stations.


Since most of West Africa is in the Western Hemishpehere, we are LIKELY looking at this being in Europe somewhere.

So, I'm still new to this game yet... but I'd consider asking something more like "Is Gilligan north of 50degree North latitude" (which is above the northern edge of France).

Is Gilligan in the southern hemisphere?

If yes, he's in Australia or New Zealand.

There are Texaco (Caltex) stations in Asia Pacific as well. http://www.texaco.com/worldwide/asiapacific/

The Caltex logo looks like what's in the picture. http://www.caltex.com/corp/en/default.asp

Google Streetview is only available in Oz or Kiwi out of the places Caltex operates. http://maps.google.com/help/maps/streetview/where-is-street-view.html

Actually, that first post does look more like Caltex than Texaco. Texaco is all red whereas Caltex has the top left in blue.

Caltex is in
  • Australia
  • Hong Kong
  • Malaysia
  • New Zealand
  • Pakistan
  • Philipines
  • Singapore
  • South Africa
  • Thailand

Google Street View is in
  • USA
  • UK
  • Czeck Republic
  • France
  • Italy
  • Mexico
  • Netherlands
  • Portugal
  • Spain
  • Switzerland
  • Canada
  • Japan
  • Taiwan

So the countries caltex and google streen view both are is
  • Australia

Nah. We can ask if he's in Aus or NZ: if the answer's no, he's in Singapore; if the answer's yes, we can divide the area by a line of longitude.
