Eton is in the UK a 'public' school (i.e. 'independent' not state school) for 13-18 year olds. It is not a 'prep' school which takes children up to 13.
I was desperately trying to find an abbreviation for Staten Island that would work (STA, STI, SI) since it's one of the five boroughs along with Que - Queens and Man - Manhattan. Needed to head a few miles north.
'Significant world location'. Let's see. New York, Tokyo, Beijing, Delhi, Moscow, Shanghai, Rio, LA, London, Paris, Casablanca, Istanbul, Rome, San Francisco, Toronto, Buenos Aires, Cairo, Johannesburg, Nairobi, Mexico City, Havana, Tehran, Kingston, Lima, Sydney, Melbourne, Jakarta, Madrid, Lake Victoria, Mount Everest, Niagara Falls, Angkor Wat, etc. ad infinitum, but you use this description for Minnesota! Just as well I have a sense of humour.
That actually threw me off - having read that description, I was searching for anything globally significant, from an important religious site to a capital city.
Seam should be allowed for coal or gold source I think. It's arguably the better answer, given that gold and coal seams are actual sources that mines exploit.
I instantly saw the 9 letter answer. But Don't care much for the que. man. clue. Not because I didnt get it, cause usually I am the other way around, I like to be surprised and see things brought in clever new ways. But this one. I don't know. Just don't like it at all. Maybe it is the points/dots. Or something about how the question was set up and not the idea itself.
Anyway also missed nest, I think I would ve stand a better chance without hitler in front of it, no idea where it was going and the 's 's's were throwing me a bit. (might be a language barrier things, but that is a mind twister to me hah, something like "your brother's sister's nephew's husband's kid ran into my wife's mother's sister's dog yesterday. Then yea.. you ve lost me haha) What is the what of what??
(I really had to go like, ok there is hitler, he "has" an eagle, so "his eagle", and he has something... so the ___ of his eagle...)
Things can be significant without being significant. Hard to miss, but not significant in others ways.
I meant in general, nothing direct to minnesota specifically ;)
