Indeed a long hiatus -that's because I have nothing really to substantiate or blame on.
1) The map distance below is about 5 Kms. What is it famous for?
#The Tunnel between East and West Germany which made several 1000's of people escape. Der Tunnel- a German movie made on this attempt is a beautiful watch.
2)Connect a Pencil, a Horseshoe, a Freestyle, an English, a Toothbrush, a Handlebar, a Mexican and a Hungarian?
#Types of Mustaches.
3) This a US consulate in an European capital and is very unique for something it did. What?
#The US consulate at Budapest which gave protection to József Mindszenty for over a decade.
4) Where? Why?
#'The last problem' as referred to by the Nazis was the peak at Jungfrau,Switzerland. I heard about this after seeing the movie Nordwand.
5)Identify X?

5)Identify X?
- At Princeton X received complaints for regularly playing extremely
loud German marching music on his gramophone, which distracted those in neighboring offices, including Einstein, from their work.
- X's
favorite hobby was cracking Jewish and Yiddish jokes. In his deathbed X
would call his best friends and would ask them to narrate to him new Jewish
jokes they have heard.
- X was known for his quick computation
Two bicyclists start twenty miles apart and head toward each other, each going at a steady rate of 10 mph. At the same time a fly that travels at a steady 15 mph starts from the front wheel of the southbound bicycle and flies to the front wheel of the northbound one, then turns around and flies to the front wheel of the southbound one again, and continues in this manner till he is crushed between the two front wheels. Question: what total distance did the fly cover? The slow way to find the answer is to calculate what distance the fly covers on the first, northbound, leg of the trip, then on the second, southbound, leg, then on the third, etc., etc., and, finally, to sum the infinite series so obtained. The quick way is to observe that the bicycles meet exactly one hour after their start, so that the fly had just an hour for his travels; the answer must therefore be 15 miles. When the question was put to X, he solved it in an instant, and thereby disappointed the questioner: "Oh, you must have heard the trick before!" "What trick?" asked X "All I did was sum the infinite series."
