    Hi,

    Could someone convince me that 4 is indeed the Iguazu Falls and not Victoria Falls? The latter makes sense too as Zambia and Zimbabwe are keen football playing nations, and the vegetation also looks very similar to the vegetation in pictures of Victoria Falls.

    This might explain about a bit about Argentinian and Brazilian mens' balls for you: http : // en.wikipedia.org /wiki / Bolas

    Hi all, :wave::wave::wave:
    Just joined.Thanked those who put me right with this comp over the month.

    Also stuck with this one. Thought this was Lewis at first, but the pieces are made of whalebone there and the situation in this looks Oriental?

    Sorry, but I think you have mis-quoted me!

    I need no persuading, as I am a big fan of football (this isn't always good for me, being a Coventry City fan..!) and had Iguazu Falls as the answer before I even came across this forum - I was trying to help someone else who didn't understand the 'ball' thing :-/ It was that person who said that they needed convincing that it was not the Victoria Falls...

    I know it's easy to mis-quote but just thought I'd clarify. Oh, and women aren't supposed to like football either ;-)

    I did understand the ball thing, but I agree Argentina and Brazil are much more famous for it. I just knew that Zambia and Zimbabwe love football too.

    To be completely honest, the Iguazu falls didn't even cross my mind until I came on this forum. My initial thought was Victoria and the clues and picture seemed more or less right, so I went with it.

    But yeah, we're all certain now it's the Iguazu falls, so it's all good :).


    Grenmus, maybe this will help you with convincing:

    In case I don't have time to be online anymore during this busy period... here's the other two answers.

    Those who don't want to ruin their fun of looking for the right answer, don't look at the spoiler.
