batesmotel34 Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 Correct. It isn't a flag.Your time of day and the overcast seems to rule out the constellation Ursa Major being visible. 2 pm shouldn't be dark in the northern hemisphere this time of year and Ursa Major isn't visible from the southern hemisphere, besides any problems overcast might cause. I suppose you could be flying at high altitude and hence above the overcast and blue sky brightness but that doesn't seem too likely a location to be posting to the forum ;-). Google does find a yacht MV Ursa Major which is presumably based in Alaska. (Although they also do Sea of Cortez cruises so could be California.)

Abramul Posted September 2, 2006 Author Share Posted September 2, 2006 Not a yacht, either, although it is, sort of, a vehicle. Like I said, consider what Ursa Major means. Edit: oops, missed an i in the tag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gabbemaster Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 A cat in a box? Oh... Ofcourse, now I see it :P Isn't Malchiks avatar some kind of snowman? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karkarinus Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 Firstly, welcome back, although I never knew you before. I think Malchik's avvy is a Frost Atronach (with a beard:D) Your riddle has me intrigued: If you're in some kind of vehicle, I would say it's a spaceship. How else could you see a constellation at 2pm, with overcast skies? Failing that, the vehicle could be a rollercoaster, say, the Big Dipper (an asterism within Ursa Major.) If the meaning of Ursa Major is so important, then "Great(er) Bear" would mean that you are in a 4x4 in Yellowstone Park! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
