OK, we have had islands and countries. Today we have a city featuring yours truly, and a couple of well known people from literature. The greatest book I have ever read but what CITY am I in?

Madrid??? Lol I have a feeling like it's in Spain because that reminds me of Don Quixote but it's a very wild guess

I know the figures and the city, but I need no points and I won't post my answer.

Terrible, aren't I?

Is it cheating if I edit out my response
I just looked it up with the hint I guessed at and now I know the answer...too late!

Great wild guess! Yes, it is Madrid and those two fellows I am with are Don Quixote and Sancho Panza. Those two guys are revered all over Spain but especially in La Mancha where Madrid is. If you have not read the book, read it. 400 years ago it was written and remains as the best book ever written on most lists of great books. DON QUIXOTE.

CONGRATULATIONS!!

Looks like you did not get the 10,000 points I sent. What is the third character of your username? I would have PM'd you but was afraid the same thing might happen. Hope you see this.

That's what I was afraid of. I see that you now have your points. Back in the old days zeroes were crossed so that people could know whether it was a 0 or a O. For some reason that good idea went away and we are back to confusion. Perhaps we have a utOpia member as well as you being ut0pia. Anyway, the points went to that person or went down the drain but now I know.
