The torch is always lit in Olympia, Greece and travels from there to wherever the Olympics are being held, thus it can't always travel by land.TenPoundHammer wrote: ↑Tue Oct 01, 2019 2:10 pm The torch doesn't go on boats or planes; it only goes on land. Don't be ridiculous.

It took a really long time when the torch traveled on that freeway across the Indian Ocean to Australia in 2000.This Is Kirk! wrote: ↑Tue Oct 01, 2019 6:31 pmThe torch is always lit in Olympia, Greece and travels from there to wherever the Olympics are being held, thus it can't always travel by land.TenPoundHammer wrote: ↑Tue Oct 01, 2019 2:10 pm The torch doesn't go on boats or planes; it only goes on land.

Okay, at the time of parsing the clue, the thought of the torch traveling didn't make any sense. I thought they lit it on location.This Is Kirk! wrote: ↑Tue Oct 01, 2019 6:31 pmThe torch is always lit in Olympia, Greece and travels from there to wherever the Olympics are being held, thus it can't always travel by land.TenPoundHammer wrote: ↑Tue Oct 01, 2019 2:10 pm The torch doesn't go on boats or planes; it only goes on land.

Because there are cities named Bowling Green in both states. (In fact, the one in Kentucky is twice as populous as the one in Ohio.) I was pretty sure the school was in Ohio, as I have made that mistake before, but I made sure to wait for the rebound opportunity rather than jump in immediately.CasketRomance wrote: ↑Tue Oct 01, 2019 10:11 pmwhy? the school in kentucky is western kentucky university and they are the hilltoppers...(fun fact..rally towel originated there)

I've made that same mistake in the past, but I have now learned from my mistakes and pretty soon, you will too.
