Sure he can drive!!! He has a Toyota!

HAHHHAHAHAH

^^^^^

I had a Toyota Celica in highschool. Put over 200K miles on that sucker. I am 110% sure (giving my risky free prediction here) that it can drive through heavy sand dunes Laughing

Nice job BW! I see you gave him just enough to keep him confident. Let's see how confident he is tomorrow Laughing

I am guessing that it is still a three hour drive to Abu Sunbul from Aswan. So, assuming that he leaves Aswan at 8am (Egypt time), he should get to Abu Sunbul by 11am. Egypt is 8 hours ahead of me. This means that I should dump the box into the river around 3am my time Evil or Very Mad

.

Oh well, that's the price of success. Where should we send the money first?

EDIT: Wait just a minute. I do not have to dump the money at 3:00am. That is just when he could arrive at Abu Sunbul. The fool still has a 24 miles walk Very Happy

Drive? Isn�t he going to have to walk? From the looks of the pictures I have seen of Abu Sunbul, that Toyota is not making it across that sand.

I think we should send it into Sudan!!! Really close, but he has to cross a border! Then we bring it back UP the Nile.

EDIT- you got your edit in before my post!

It may first head South and across the river, landing up on the other side.

Posted: Wed Jul 26, 2006 6:22 pm

Yeah...I definitely think it needs to cross over to the other side of the Nile. Where along the Nile doesnt matter much to me...only that our dear lad must cross it somehow Twisted Evil

Posted: Wed Jul 26, 2006 6:27 pm

Across the Nile and across the Sudan border. Twice the inconveniece! How wide is the Nile? It doesn't look like a safe, quick swim!

This is starting to sound like this:

Quote:

The puzzle: a farmer is traveling to market with his cat, a chicken and some corn. He has to cross a river, and the only way to cross is in a small boat which can hold the farmer and just one of the three items he has with him. The problem is, he has to be very careful about what he chooses to leave behind at any time. If the cat and chicken are left alone, the cat will eat the chicken. If the chicken and the corn are left alone, the chicken will eat the corn. To solve the puzzle, you must show how the farmer can get himself and his three items across the river without losing any of them.

Oh my!

I'm am in the presence of genius!!!

BTW, the nile crocs are bloody massive and somewhat ferocious! The good ol' US gator is a de-clawed pussy cat compared to niles! Mmm, lad for supper... Smile

On no account must the lad hang around on the water's edge, poking around with a big stick, looking for the trunk box that is just submerged. Nope. Nosiree. On no account whatsoever...

sheila, that would be involving innocent third parties. There is no reason to punish a croc by forcing him to eat a lad. Twisted Evil

As a snake-keeper and worshipper of all things reptilian, I have to applaud your concern for the innocent 3rd party, but surely if the 3rd party actually benefits in some way, then it's ok to involve them?

If you think the croc might suffer indigestion from consuming a whole mugu, then perhaps we can just wish for a bit of a nibble instead? Would that be acceptable? clapping

Posted: Wed Jul 26, 2006 8:00 pm

Maybe we should tell him that the box looks like this.

Posted: Wed Jul 26, 2006 8:01 pm

No one is twisting that little reptiles arm!!! He chose to eat the mugu.

FYI...average distance of bank to bank on that part of the Nile is 5 miles. I seriously doubt our lad will swim that far!

Do you suppose a large croc could eat the trunk-box?

Posted: Wed Jul 26, 2006 8:05 pm

As long as he tries. Just think of the frustration. Painfully hot, sandy and he can�t find the box. Since he thought that he would be able to drive all that distance he probably did not come prepared with proper drinks, food, etc.

Posted: Wed Jul 26, 2006 8:31 pm

Remember how Namibia lad thought he could see the trunkbox in the surf?

Hopefully your lad might get desperate enough to mistake this for the box....

Until it turns into this...

According to Google Earth:

From the inlet where the case is to the other side - 10.82 mi (17.41 km, 10,228.9 Smoots) Shocked

From the closest point on the shore near the inlet - 4.06 mi (6.54 km, 3843.83 Smoots)

From Abu Simbel - 1.92 mi (3.10 km, 1819.08 Smoots)

Nuthin like a nice cool swim after a 24 mi walk. Twisted Evil

When I was doing the tourist thing we left Aswan before sunrise, so we'd be finished at Abu Simbel before it got too hot. Of course that's with people who know what they're doing, know the road and expect to only spend an hour or two there.

Posted: Wed Jul 26, 2006 10:44 pm

I just hope that a croc doesn't come across the box and eat it.

Posted: Wed Jul 26, 2006 11:59 pm

Yes, it's amazing what they find inside crocs, alligators and sharks when they cut them open...

License plates, pots, and safari mugus.

Just wanted to add that I love jose_cuervo's sig. The son of a bitch thing made me have to buy a new keyboard.

Just to put things into the proper perspective, here is a map showing the general area where the money is. Note the lack of roads anywhere. Also notice how easy it would be for the money to land up on the other side of the Nile, especially right across the river, directly South of Abu Sunbul.

By the way, the website is updated as well.

Somehow I get the feeling that another lad will be looking to hire a boat soon. Laughing
