I won't have any updates till after America is 235 years old.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">PPS</span>: This reminds me of a very bad cryptic clue I saw once - "235? (5)". Any guesses?<br /><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Answer</span>: Utah's Bonneville salt flats - the terrain here is perfectly suited for attempting land speed records. Mekie, Jamie, Arpit, Siddarth Pai and Krithi got it. Well done. The answer to the cryptic clue is <span style="font-style: italic;">usage.</span><br /></div></div>Dinesh Krithivasanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13437484936096983201noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7597131966685589814.post-57710049737168515992011-06-28T23:58:00.001-07:002011-07-05T19:42:15.531-07:00Question - 680<div style="text-align: justify;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-q5eUO9CLX-4/TgrNDzhyzEI/AAAAAAAAGfA/95LuKffYShc/s1600/bq680.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 391px; height: 84px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-q5eUO9CLX-4/TgrNDzhyzEI/AAAAAAAAGfA/95LuKffYShc/s320/bq680.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5623532549980736578" border="0" /></a>What are these skeletons?<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Answer</span>: An artist's (Hyungkoo Lee) impression of the skeletons of various cartoon characters - Bugs, Roadrunner + Wile E Coyote, Donald Duck and Tom & Jerry.

She is the oldest scuba diver in the world and was diving well past her 90s. However, she is most famous for something she did all the way back in 1934.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Hint2</span>: Still no further attempts :( She is considered one of the greatest in her field (not Scuba diving) despite having a very limited output.
