2 points for Stitchy

As a former pipe aficionado - can you come up with the 3rd type?
[not very commonly used these days - now in rather "budget" pipes]

Answer in spoiler tags.

Spoiler:
cherrywood


Anyways - Stitchy wins with 2/3 answers

Take it away Sir Smokeless!

Put that way, it could only be an Apple or Cherry wood pipe. Ah ha! The spoiler gives me the finale third! I do miss my pipes. Especially my meerschaums. I had one that I made myself, from a raw lump that I carved down, boiled in beeswax, and smoked for 20 years... It had turned a beautiful yellow-brown in an even stain... I was given the lump of meerschaum by my Squadron commander in '67... memories...

On with a new question! No too difficult this time.

What do the following words have in common, and where can each be found:

1. real
2. yuan
3. koruna
4. cedi
5. gourde
6. kip
7. ringgit
8. tugrik
9. dirham
10. zloty

Nope, and nope!

I'm off to bed. If someone comes along and knows all the answers, go ahead a post a new question. No need to wait for me to wake up. I need my beauty rest. I REALLY need my beauty rest.

Come on, guys. This one isn't so hard. I even know the currency conversions for most of them!

There may be other places with a real, but Spain certainly used to have the real as a unit of currency.

(I know that one because I published a book about George Borrow in Spain in the 19th Century.

19th Century Spanish currency was a mess. There was a whole mass of coinage from various times and places. But the base was the Real, worth 34 Maravedis. And there was also the Peso, not a coin but used in banking and exchange purposes, worth 512 maravedis. Note that 512 isn't a multiple of 34!)

Yes, and Spain is the country that all the other countries derived the real from, but today they use the Euro.

Very true, but the significant words in your statement are 'used to.' Today they use the Euro. Sorry.


1. real
2. yuan - Mianhvk (China)
3. koruna - Orlok ( Czech Republic)
4. cedi - Mianhvk (Laos)
5. gourde
6. kip
7. ringgit - Bookpossm (Malaysia)
8. tugrik
9. dirham
10. zloty - Billi (Poland)

Surely we must have more world travelers in here!
