    I think its the acropolis, I placed the marker to the north, it said "your almost touching try looking south", placed it just below, again it said "your almost touching try looking north", zoom in on Athens until you see an area called Lofos Akropolis and place a marker there

    Tried this (why not at this point!), and got told "Try the other side of the world! Try south-east".

    Anyone else want to jump in and post their clues here...?

    I think it may be the Parthenon building on the Acropolis, I got 3 "almost touching" around there.

    That's exactly where I put my marker that told me to go to the other side of the world/south west, though. Excuse me while I go tear my hair out. :)

    I seem to be having the same problems as Pechow. It,s somewhere in the region of Athens but I can,t seem to pinpoint it. Have tried Koukaki and Polygono? in that area.

    Just tried Zappeion and it said almost there, try west

    I,m having big problems trying to read the info in the orange box because the adverts are hiding half of it. Can anyone advise me on how to overcome this?
    I,m so stupid that I forgot the mnemonic

    I don't see adverts, in either Chrome or Firefox. TBH from my experience so far the orange box is useless/lying :p All my clues have said to go more in the region of Australia, and I have one left.

    Anyone decipered the hint? Is it really basically the same spot as the last round? If it isn't referring to Greek gods (as my clues suggest) then what could it be?

    Why are folks saying same as yesterday?????????

    You gotta think ancient gods...
    Theres no ancient gods down under..
    Ive tried 2 in greece both said almost try west and try east, gonna wait see what comes up here before i guess again...

    Oh and by the way i think its like a spot the ball where they will take each days comp and look at every guess made then put their map with their actual place on and whoever got the closest (or if theres more than 1) first will be the winner each comp.

    There's aboriginal gods for ancient gods down under, but couldn't find any that guarded hills or mountains. I don't get how other people are being told that near Athens is close, but my map is telling me to go around the Australia region. I didn't get any "close/nearly" messages when I tried the same places.

    My 2 have both been athen both said almost touching, but combined with others on here then they must have it in a exact fully zoomed in place..

    Also what was yesterdays or what do u think????????

    that was my original thought as i though greece would be too obvious, but after trying my first in greece and getting almost touching both times im unsure, but it doesnt mean its wrong i dont think it will say if youve got until comp ends and they tell the winner or announc3e it???
