How high above sea level is the source of the Essequibo river?

Damn i could have gotten that,where was my thinking cap

this morning.

Acarai mountains 941 ft

Boy, put on your thinking cap and don't give me stupid answers.

How high means how high. Measure the height.

i missed the height,see my corrected answer.

De man nah gat wan tape dah lang dats why he gave you dis ansa.

Acarai mountains 2500 ft

my second answer.

Wrong answer. Try again.

Stop guessing. The answer is out there. Find it.

@Anjali, "Don't try again" applies to this quiz only. You're free to try answering others.

Gil, lately I've been thinking a lot about India, maybe my ancestors are calling.    When Indira Gandhi visited Guyana in 1968, were you around, and can you give us a brief synopsis of her visit? Did her dad Pt. Nehru ever visit Guyana? Thanks.

3,310 ft

too much variables from sources.

When Indira Gandhi visited Guyana I was 17 years old, busy studying for GCE 'O' Level exams. I didn't pay much attention. Jawaharlal Nehru never visited Guyana but there is a Nehru bust at the Non-Aligned Monument in GT near St. George's Cathedral.

Still not correct. Let me explain. The Akarai Mountains are a range of mountains of varying heights. The source of the Essequibo is located on one of the range, not on all of them.

Thanks, Gil. How about Guinean President Ahmed Sekou Toure's visit, were you around?

* That's the key to finding the right answer.

* Lemme help out Django---that boy has been spending too much time over in Political---supporting the eventual loser on May 11th.

* The Kamoa mountains is the souce of the Essequibo river. Now go and research how high above sea level Kamoa is.

* Hint: What is the cube root of 173741112 meters ?

Rev

That was in the 1970s. I was around but can't give you details of what I was doing then.

Leh we mek it a lil mo hard. I want the answer in feet.

How about what Forbes, his henchmen & Toure did to Dolly Baksh, can you shed some light?  

* What is the cube root of 6135522380 ft ?

Rev

558 meters =1830.7 ft

i am done. using some electronic engineering maths.

I'm leaving this one for Django. I don't know Essequibo

hanging this poor demerara guy to dry.

Gyal, were you ever at Lot 12 Camp Street? Or Sibley Hall?

If you like your behind, yuh better stop asking provoking questions.

That goes without saying but thank you  was in a meeting.

My printed source [book] says: "The Essequibo, the largest and longest of the rivers in the colony, rises in the Akarai mountains in 0° 41' north latitude at an elevation of about 850 feet above sea level..."

Naturally, I cannot tell you the title of the book because most of my geographical teasers originate from its pages. It's available online for free download.

I gave the answer already.

But I want those dullards to know that if Anjali can get the answer, why can't you?

Class dismissed for today.

You're still a winner, Anjali.

I read the informaton on google and posted and then saw your answer, so I deleted it but thanks Sir Gil

what they did to dolly bakesh, she was kill by a mentally ill man or as you might say a mad man 

It is probable that no important river had one name alone throughout its course, ..... The Essequibo rises in the Acarai Mts., in o° 41' N. and about 850 ft. above the ... tributary of the Essequibo is the Potaro, on which, at 1130 ft. above sea-level ...

this was where I read it, did not open it though to read anything inside

Teacha rough on we

thank god for goggle now some people do not have to use their brain

Hola Anjali

Bonjour Riya

Buenos dias, amigos.

Today I won't give you high-level questions like yesterday. Everything will be at or below sea level.

Now, tell me, what was the postal rate for a letter from Crabwood Creek to Hong Kong 108 years ago?

1 cent
