1. HMS Warspite, Queen Elizabeth Class, entering the Grand Harbour, Valletta, Malta.

3. Is Mr Flibble. Connection is one of the many AARs readers who is a general has a picture of Rimmer as their avatar in the game. No idea of their name but the relevant picture is in the August 7th-9th update.

18. What is this a brief statement of?
R is the set of all sets that do not contain themselves.
This is of course paradoxical since we cannot answer the question: Does R contain itself?
This is called Russell's paradox and ruined Cantor's perfectly good set theory. :mad:

Somewhat related is

G ="G cannot be proved within the theory T".


19. What is this a very brief statement of?
This is Gödel's incompleteness theorem which basically means that for any axiomatic system (e.g. all of Maths) there exist statements that can be neither proven nor disproven.

By my count all that remains to be answered are: 2, 5, 7 & 8. This assumes that all of the above answers are correct (and from such an illustrious group how could we doubt the accuracy). Not bad for less than 24 hours from the challenge.

#5 is the Nez Pierce tribal chief Joseph. He led his tribe on an approximately 1000 mile trek to avoid the US army and seek safety in Canada...within miles of their goal they were captured and sent to Oklahoma instead.

number 8 is the Menenpoort in Ieper, Belgium. A memorial to british soldiers who fought and died in WWI.

Inscribed on it's surfaces are the names of about 54.000 soldiers whose bodies were never found.

Each night someone playes 'the last post' to remember the soldiers who fought for belgium freedom.

#8: The Menin Gate Memorial.
It contains the names of 54,896 officers and men of the British and Commonwealth forces who fell in the Ypres Salient before 16 August 1917.

EDIT: ouch, too slow :)

And now we are down to 2 & 7.

Had some ideas about nr 2, but they where wrong. Well, at least I can tell that it's neither Chartwell nor Haus Doorn.

Well, I concur that no 10 in the contest (the two busts) is definitely Publius Cornelius Scipio Africanus (the older Scipio) who took command in Hispania 211 b. c. He brought the war against Carthage to Africa and led the Roman legions to victory at Zama 202 b. c.

He was, btw, the paternal great grandfather to the younger Scipio Africanus.

And I also concur that No 12 is recently deceased Russian writer and Nobel laureate Alexander Sholzenitsyn. The quote therefore is likely the title of his first novel “One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich”.

TBH I was not sure about the bit with the Tirpitz until I just now found one of the pictures on the Internet.

Number 13, Tirpitz

This is actully my first post after a 3 year long carear as a lurker. And i felt like starting my active carear with a post on my favorite AAR :D

The Trekaddict is totaly correct when he says the the ship on the imagine is the Tirpitz, but i felt like specifing the "Norwegian fjord" it sunk in. It is Tromsofjorden, more specificly close to the island Haakoya. I know all this because i live in Tromso, which is a 20 minutes drive from Haakoya.

And i would like to finish with a little curiosity about the Tirpitz.
The sewage system in the Norwegian Capital of Oslo is actully built out of steel from Tirpitz.

Edit: Grammar

But what is the significance of them vis a' vis THIS AAR?
The Cannae maneuver? Freedom for the occupied territories? (I have NOT read anything by Sholzenitsyn)
