I was bored and my friend sent me this.


Find a thing that is an Search Engine and a planet, and search for 1.390271 103.878022. From that point, travel 1350km North and turn 450 Degrees counterclockwise and travel 330km. You should be near a city, figure out the old name of this city's country and count the number of alphaberts and do this sum with the number

times 4
add 39
times 0.2
minus 3

Now find the country that holds the rank of this number for largest country.
Once you do that, figure out the country's last former rulers.
Find the 19th last ruler of the country and find out the age (s)he lived to and mutliply them with each other, what is the number


I hope you found it equally time-killing like i had
 
Spoiler :
could not find the city but the nation is Siam? Not sure, I was being lazy.
 
The answer is, an elephant?

Spoiler :
From the old riddle, take any number between 1 and 10, multiply it by 9, add the digits, subtract 5, take the letter of the alphabet that corresponds to that number, think of the name of a country that starts with that letter, take the second letter in the name of that country, and think of an animal whose name starts with that letter. The answer is usually "elephant" because a) the sum of the digits of any number between 1 and 10, times 9, is 9; b) most people can only think of one country, Denmark, that starts with "D"; and c) most people will think of an elephant as the first animal whose name starts with "E". Of course, I would always confuse people hoping to smugly guess that my answer was "elephant", by busting out my mad Djibouti-and-Dominican Republic-recognizing skills.

Spoiler :
When I was asked that riddle, I didn't think of Denmark. I could only think of the Dominican Republic for a country that began with D. I'm very weird.
 
Spoiler :
If it had been Dominican Republic I would have thought Oleiphont...

which is Tolkein's version of an elephant....
Spoiler :
I love spoilers :)
