Based on the primitive hut like structures and the dark skin of the natives. I would say Rapid City, South Dakota

Wrong!

Lol...yes I know. Is joke.
-
Ok, this is obviously India, but what do they call that tower?
-
Based on our proxy, I'd say FILE_NOT_FOUND degrees west, FILE_NOT_FOUND degrees north.

Shit man, Indian space program is really taking off.

I sort of like to imagine Nagesh as a bored American troll, testing how long can he stay ahead in googling India-related trivia.

Guess this one. Trick Question

If you think that is the Taj Mahal, you're dead wrong.

Overkill; I just use reverse image search and a related Wikipedia article.

Look at the post I replied to. I was replying to the first post, so .... yeah, I got that one right.
And hey, your English appears to be improving

@Nagesh are you going to tell the names of these two places? I don't speak lat and long.

Sorry, dumb google search brought up the Taj Mahal and I didn't catch it. Here you go:
19.8800° N, 75.3200° E
Aurangabad

First one is Qutb Minaar built by Razia Sultan's grand-father, Qutb-ud-din Aibak. It is a tall tower. Alladin Khilji tried to duplicate it, but could not. The remains of his tower are lying next to Qutb Minar.
The second one is yet to be guessed, but the architect who is building it has attempted to copy the world famous Taj Mahal. So please stop posting coordinates of New Delhi or Gurgaon or that whereabout

Yes you are correct. It is not so famous Bibi ka Maqbara. A sad testament to middle aged architect copying each other. Qutb Minaar itself inspired by another tower in Punjab.

Guess this famous clock!

Appears to be Rajabai Tower in Mumbai.

Damn you for giving out points. Now I can't help myself!

I'd say at about 0x00CE50FE in your GPU memory. Give or take a few bytes.

Correct! This system of gaming as explained by Spolsky, HAdwood and Skeet is very lucrative in getting people onboard.

Looking like some video game generated stuff to me.

Guess where is this place.
Clue: Famous Fort in India.

This is the game that was greenlit on steam...you can play a rock...rock simulator or something like that.

Google wins this game by default.

That thing was just kind of slapped together.
- "Oh shit, this stairway blocks that door. Better just seal the door up."
- "Hmmm, now we need a way up this tower. Let's just have some extra long bricks sticking out to make a really narrow staircase."
- "'I want stairs here.' 'But I already started a wall' 'Ok, let's do half-and-half.'"
This is why blueprints were invented.

One of the special features of this fort is the rare acoustical innovation, where a man who enters the gate and claps his hands, the sound can be heard in the citadel far above situated at a height of 90 meters. It is something rare and is not duplicated anywhere in the world.

More likely an accident.
Person to Engineer: "Hey you can hear people clapping all the way from the freaking entrance. That's kind of annoying."

Gamification. My boss at my last job was all about it, except that he didn't understand that real rewards are necessary to motivate. You can't take compensation and just replace it with points. Part of the reason why I no longer work there.

You need to read history of India. Too many people India welcomed only be to pillaged, plundered and ruled over by foreign people. They also introduce much influences - cultural and otherwise.

I only wish I'd been witty enough to come up with that take on it.
Ryan Stiles is still funny, and I've learned to forgive him for his performance in Hot Shots Part Deux by now.
