Contest #400: Kirti Mandir, Porbandar, India

This location is the birthplace of Mahatma Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi.

When Andrew and I first saw the suggestion from long term contest player Ashwini Agrawal (who automatically receives 2 points), we were somewhat surprised that the previous admins of this contest had never used this site. We had many other locations to look through, but this one was the only one that elicited that reaction from us.

Those who found the site besides Ashwini included:

  • Lighthouse
  • Garfield

And after the hint:

  • Phil Ower
  • Gillian B
  • Paul Voestermans
  • Steve J

This ends this series with Lighthouse and Garfield both coming away with perfect scores!

Contest #400

We went through at least 25 suggestions, and this one seemed to resonate the most. Many others were usable, and we will be using them (and automatically granting points to the person who suggested it) in future contests.

Here is your #400 contest:
