I knew that, just thought it was little obvious to be the correct answer!

Competition closed.

Firstly I'd like to say that I'm very disappointed at the turn-out and the standard of the answers, I'm sure a full weekend of extensive research and study could have rewarded diligence with a correct entry (as it is, diligence didn't even enter) jandyt, who had a significant headstart, failed completely even though I told him he knew the answer.

From the pitiful entries I recieved I would say the closest was Medogsfat - close but no cigar!!

The correct answer was, of course, The Mean Annual Albedo of the earth's surface. I'll pitch the next one at Primary School level

I can't belive none of you have got this, it's so easy!

Yes, it's a world map, but the colours are of little significance. It's the white dots!
A white dot signifies a town where---

A. There is a Bang and Olufsen outlet
     and
B. a Shetland Times reader (online)
     and
C. a driving test center
     and
D. a thriving Spanish-speaking community
     and
E. a Black and Decker outlet
     and
F. a Celtic Fiddle club.

How did you not all get that??

Too easy Puncher - it's a world map with colours indicating most likely fatal attacks by varying animals.

BLUE = Shark attack.

RED = Polar Bear attack.

WHITE = Penguin attack.

YELLOW = Camel or Australian bar man attack.

GREEN = Lion, Tiger, Hippo, Crocodile, Elephant, Alligator, Jaguar, Llama, Bear, Kangaroo or Duck billed Platypus attack.

What do I win?

a giant broad-view GPS of our globe for airplanes ? or lost car-driving-school-students on their first trip on the road ?........

or perhaps a map of the world with a zoom-in function, with wich you can locate every B&O owner all over the world.......

I'm off to Edinburgh for the weekend (back Sunday evening).

The question is - what does my Avatar represent?

jandyt could know the answer (or be close) - we'll see

Be imaginative
