Day 4: Puzzle

Find ten buildings or structures hidden in the following paragraph.


Tom had first met his best pal, a celebrated archaeologist from Sicily called Umberto, at Aix-la-Chapelle, when they excavated a site together which was believed to date from the time of Charlemagne. They had been friendly rivals ever since. Once, thinking it might amuse Umberto (and confident he was the better driver), Tom bought a couple of tickets for a track day at Silverstone. Although Umberto wasn’t all that keen to take part, he nonetheless took up the challenge when his friend goaded him saying, “Come on, Umberto, we’re doing this.” Unfortunately, Tom’s car vaulted the security tyres at the first corner, shot eleven metres into the air, and he cracked three ribs when it landed upside down. They haven’t spoken since.

They're just guesses - I'm useless at this sort of thing: PALACE, MUSEUM, HOTEL, CHAPEL, TOWER - will keep looking though

Not sure if any of those count, I know a room can have a "vaulted" ceiling but not sure if vault is a structure. As for hotel I doubt it is right but hey-ho. WIll keep looking.

Possibly got nine of the ten: Palace, Arch, Museum, Parthenon, Tower, Hotel, Fort, Chapel (thanks to Jaibaby for this one), Vault (as it says structures as well as buildings). Stuck on last one.

Parthenon is in there- that makes 11 guesses..

So are the ten:

PALACE, MUSEUM, HOTEL, CHAPEL, TOWER, PARTHENON, FORT, HALL, ARCH, VAULT ???

A vault is like a safe but bigger, isn't it? So surely it would count as a structure (of some sort)

Just seen the updated messages (my page was stuck from Jaibaby's original post) would probably add hall (Jaibaby again) to finish.

fevnet

Yep would agree with you Jaibaby
