Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. I first left my home in this archipelago, owned by Portugal. It is to the west of Portugal's mainland, and is the "head" of Cygnus on the map I drew. These volcanic islands are beautiful. Where on earth am I?

Answer:Azores

The Azores consists of nine volcanic islands, and is found in the middle of the North Atlantic ocean. The name "Azores" comes from the Portuguese word "acor", which is a species of rapier bird.

2. Wow, look at that beautiful mosque. I think it's called the Sankore Mosque. It seems like a nice place to stop to rest my wings. It looks like this mosque is on the neck of the "path of Cygnus". Where on earth is the Sankore Mosque? I know I am in Mali, but what city is it?

Answer:Timbuktu

Timbuktu, also called Timbuctoo or Tombouctou, is a city right in the middle of Mali. The Sankore Mosque is in Timbuktu, which happens to be less than ten miles north of the Niger River.

All the cities listed are in the country of Mali.

3. Wow, I am so tired of all this flying! I think it is time for a rest, here, in Zaire! (On the phone: bwah bwah bwah bwah bwah) What, what's that? It's not called Zaire anymore? Well, that's just terrific. Now I have no idea where I am anymore! I know I am at Cygnus' shoulders on my map, but I thought it was called Zaire. Where on earth am I, now?

Answer:Democratic Republic of the Congo

The Democratic Republic of the Congo is one of the largest countries in Africa, and lies right across the equator. Its capital is Kinshasa, although that is much further south than where my point on the map fell. More specifically, the point landed just north of the equator, but south of the Congo River, but still completely within the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

4. I think that while I rest at Cygnus' tail, I will do some diving in Flic en Flac. I am a swan, after all, so diving is easy for me! I have heard some scary stories of a famous species of bird that became extinct here, but for now, I am going to ignore that and take in the beautiful sites of this magnificent island nation. I don't know the name of the country, though. Where on earth am I?

Answer:Mauritius

Flic en Flac is a famous tourist spot on the island of Mauritius, though it is not as popular as Grand Baie. Mauritius is famous for being the once-home of the dodo bird, which became extinct on the island in the 17th century. It was very easy prey, as the bird was none-too-bright.

This scared Bonny, and she decided to start flying again.

5.我发现我的方法正确的上翼Cygnus, and it happens to be located in a very hot country. Since I was so close, I toured the ancient ruins of Tanis. But as the day went on, it just kept getting hotter, so I decided to take a bath in Lake Manzala. Aah, now that's refreshing. Do you know which country I am in?

Answer:Egypt

Egypt is famous for it's countless ancient ruins and pyramids. Bonny the Swan took a bath in Lake Manzala, which is a lagoon in the Nile Delta, and located very close to Port Said. It is also just a few miles away from the ancient ruins of Tanis.

6. I have been flying for so long, I think I need a break to grab a bite to eat! I settled down in the Krubera Cave and enjoyed some khinkali for lunch. I love Atlanta. Wait, what? You mean to tell me I'm not in Atlanta? I'm in Abkhazia? Well, then, where on earth am I?

Answer:Georgia

Krubera Cave is the world's deepest known cave, and is located in Abkhazia, Georgia. Georgia being the country, of course, and not the state. That is, perhaps, where Bonny thought she was.

Khinkali is a type of meat dumpling, and is quite a popular dish in the country of Georgia.

7. I am near the tip of Cygnus' wings, and I am getting hot again. Time for a bath in the Garabogazkol Aylagy, my favorite body of water. Garabogazkol Aylagy is its own body of water, but when water levels rise, it becomes a bay of the world's largest lake. Where on earth is Bonny?

Answer:Caspian Sea

The Caspian Sea, though the name can be deceiving, is actually the world's largest lake. Garabogazkol Aylagy is a body of water that is separated from the Caspian Sea by just a thin piece of land. There is a very narrow opening in this thin piece of land that allows the Caspian to drain into the G.A. (I've typed it out three times already, don't make me do it again), but when the waters rise with the seasons, it appears more as a bay than a body of water on its own.

8. I love Russia. One of my favorite things to eat is borscht. My favorite city to visit while I'm in Russia is Orsk, which also happens to be the tip of Cygnus' right wing, which is why I'm here! Orsk, as well as the Or River, is located in which Russian federal subject, which borders Kazakhstan?

Answer:Orenburg

Orsk is a city in Orenburg Oblast which is a federal subject (or oblast) of Russia that pokes into Kazakhstan. The Or River flows through Orsk, which is what gave the city its name.

9. As I was flying across the ocean and over to the Americas (as well as Cygnus' left wing on my map), I got very tired. There was no place to rest, and I thought I wouldn't make it. Fortunately, I was able to find my way to the Americas, landing just on the shores of Ponta do Seixas. Ponta do Seixas is the easternmost point of the Americas. It goes by what other name?

Answer:Cape Branco

Ponta do Seixas, also known as Cape Branco, is located at the eastern tip of Brazil. Not only is it Brazil's easternmost mainland point, it is also the easternmost mainland point of the Americas. The other three capes are located in South America as well, but not a single one of them is in Brazil.

10.哇,我终于在我的目的地。我做了it, fin, done. My journey ends at the tip of Cygnus' left wing, which is at the Chilean border. Chile has a long border, and I know it borders more than one country; stop hassling me. I do know that my destination has led me to the border of Chile and its northernmost neighbor. With which neighbor does Chile share its northern border, which is also where I will stay for several months before I travel back to my other home in Europe?

Answer:Peru

Chile is the long, thin country on the west coast of South America. It borders Argentina, Bolivia, and Peru. The Chile-Peru border is located at the very northern tip of Chile; the very southern tip of Peru.

This is where our Bonny swan has finally ended up, in Norte Grande, Chile.
