Thank York310
Now can you tell me where I find the amswer in Whitakers please

[shaneystar2]

I have put deserts ....Page 683
How are you doing with this ? I only have four to get so if you want any help ..shout ...it's such a huge book to leaf through !!

[val1002]

Shaneystar 2 We only Have that 1 to get but cant find it in the book

[shaneystar2]

Page 683 ......it lists Largest Islands ..Largest deserts etc ...It says Gobi ....Mongolia
and Kalahari ....Namibia
So they both share this feature .
This is all I could find . I can't see that it could be anything other than a desert ?

Has anyone found the one about 'What will be completed in the year 2026'? I have been through the book several times and cannot find it, although I have found something that will be completed in 2016.

Could it be a typo?

[shaneystar2]

Hi Munden ..for that one I have got
Sagrada Familia Barcelona Spain ...the cathedral thingy
Page 686 .

Re Mongolia and Namibia, the only things I can spot are the deserts and the population density. Neither of those strike me as being particularly Whitaker-ish, though.

Does anyone have the answer to #5, "Who broke a record with 21 wins in 35 attempts"? That one's driving me mad. Will supply answer (with page number) to any other question in return. Thanks in advance!

[larsen525]

I think I'm going to answer the question "Identical population density (2 per square kilometer)."

Mongolia and Namibia do seem to be the countries with the lowest population density in the world, but I can't find anything in Whitakers saying that in so many words. I don't want to volunteer (as it were) extra information that isn't there.

Hi larsen525
I can give you the answer to no.5. Can you help me with 18 or 17 please?
As for Mongolia and Namibia, I can only think of population density, but the info is on two different pages, so I don't know what to put!?
