Travel / Poland in photo riddles - part 3 [818]
I presumed there was 1/3 left to be found because you said this in response to my asking if that is where the snake lives.
Then you said this in response to my asking if it was eating a live mouse:
That leaves 1/3 left of the riddle.
Actually, no. In post 580 you asked what was going on in double mode, hence my answer of it being filmed from 2 different angles.
the 33.3% correctness of your reply referred to eating. The remaining 2/3 which needs to be guessed apply to live and mouse. :):):)

Yes, it is. But it is only 30% of the solution. :):)

Again, 33,3% correct answer. :)):)
That leaves 1/3 left of the riddle.
I guess it is sophisticated sarcasm i

Me too. My dad collected them. We had loads of them in our house. If I remember rightly, there was always a true life survival type story in them, like the one about the Uruguayan rugby/football? team that survived a plane crash in the Andes.
I remember 'Laughter the best medicine' and 'Humour in Uniform' sections too.
I miss the RD.

News / CO2 emissions in Poland. Should Poland go nuclear or stick with clean coal technologies? [93]
Even if you put aside the problem of pollution, it's not economically competitive to mine it in Poland. Poland had been importing it from Russia prior to the invasion of Ukraine, and it's cheaper to import from non-EU countries that have lower labour costs.
Plus, as I said before the cost of extracting coal from Silesian mines is prohibitive.

They're not real maraschino cherries which are sour and from a variety called marasca. These cherries are bleached and then marinated in sugar syrup. They are also dyed and flavoured.

News / CO2 emissions in Poland. Should Poland go nuclear or stick with clean coal technologies? [93]
The coal mining industry in Poland has been in decline for a long time now. The coal is of low quality and the mines had been running at huge losses due to the falling price of coal worldwide.
In addition, mines in Silesia are very deep and extracting the coal is not economically viable.
Burning coal and wood in Krakow is banned. I don't think they did that for no reason.
a primary source for Poland should be coal

No need to be snarky. All I did was to explain that because you wrote 'who' I presumed that you wanted the name of a particular person, not a group of people.
How about giving up riddles and just posting photos with direct explanation so that you don`t feel so stressed???
