That's close enough! La Paz has ten urban gondola lift (cable car) lines in operation which form part of the city's public transportation system. Venice also has a few gondolas!! Over to you.

New question:- What did the UK once share with Chad, Nigeria and the Cameroons?

No, not currency.

Indeed!! They all shared a land border - incredible as it may sound! This all has to do with Quadripoints - a point on Earth where four distinct territories meet. The nearest example today is the confluence of the Cuando (also called Chobe) and Zambezi rivers where Namibia, Botswana, Zambia and Zimbabwe are all separated from each other by some 150 metres. However, a true four-country point did formerly exist in Africa for a period of eight months during 1960 and 1961, in southern Lake Chad, at the location of the present Cameroon-Chad-Nigeria tripoint. Upon the 1st October 1960 independence of Nigeria, that border point became common to the latter three countries and the territory of Northern Cameroons, which was still governed under United Nations mandate by the United Kingdom, until it was finally integrated into Nigeria on 1 June 1961. This is the only known quadricountry border point ever to have existed.

No idea, but mine was called 'Asbo the Shark', as he didn't get on with anything else!

My understanding is that research should be limited to such things as checking spelling. It is general knowledge, i.e. what you actually know.

Is it extinct in the wild?
I have a rainbow shark who goes by the name SPAD. Seems appropriate with his attitude.
Luckily no
Correct! Sources differ, it was considered extinct in the wild until 2011. Now it's either still extinct in the wild or has only a single population in a 10 sq/km area in a single Thai river.

An inspired guess!
Next question: What would you do with an Orsat Analyser?

It's used for gas analysis. I once used one some 50 odd years ago in our chemistry labs at school. A very antiquated piece of kit these days!!

Your turn to wear the lab coat...
