I think I may have finally figured out what all your clues add up to. But I've already two shots at this question, so ... I'll see if anyone else can come up with an answer.

 

[Az]

Oh just go for it...

I've searched everywhere I know but I can't find it and many others have tried too...

Sorry guys. I thought about this too late; I was already on the way to Germany. The answer to my question was:

They are moving east. Within a few decades, one of the islands will probarly sink in the deeper place of the Dollard, and eventually the others will be added to Denmark if nothing heppens.

[Jamb]

the north frisian islands?

 

[Jamb]

or no, i mean the WEST frisian islands

 

[Andu Indorin]

Specifically, the Roosevelt International Memorial Bridge between Lubec and Campobello Island. (High + Coastal + Automobile)

 

[Magnus]

LOL - try Cadillac Mountain in Acadia National PArk. It is right on the sea and is 1500 feet high. I was up there last May and remember it saying that (about dawn) on a placard.

I dunno who is next, but it aint me!

OHHHH! oops, i thought you were asking a question, like, what islands are doing this, you know... ok, sorry, that explains mmy two last posts anyways

 

[Andu Indorin]

I suspect that that placard in Acadia is incorrect ...

Question 16: What is considered the oldest, continuously inhabited city in the world?

[This message has been edited by Andu Indorin (edited August 22, 2001).]

 

[Jamb]

Aleppo and Damscus both claim to be the oldest still inhabited cities of the world..

 

[willemvanoranje]

It could be a lot of cities. Rome is pretty old, and so is Athens, but they're too young I think. Damsacus or Aleppo, I don't know. Maybe Nanking or an other Chinese city?

[Az]

I would also go for Damascus...

About Athens I'm not sure wether it has been continuesly inhabited since it's foundation. I think there was a period around 1000 AD when all its citizens had left it... but i'm not sure of that.

[Andu Indorin]

I believe that archeologists consider Damascus (over Aleppo) as the oldest continuously inhabited city in the world.

 

[willemvanoranje]

Well, Jamb is next.

[Jamb]

yup, so here it goes..

In which country is spoken the most languages and how many are spoken there.

 

[willemvanoranje]

Ok, eeeh. Let me see. China? If you count the different kinds of Chinese that can be considered different languages. Otherwise it's porbably some African country.
