I gotta say, I am a wee bit validated when you smart people get questions that make you go "huh?"

The Where the Heck Am I? game produces the real WTF moments.

I'm still trying to figure out how JBillyGirl got Sveti Whatchamacallit a few days ago.

Glad you asked. I did it with a lucky Google Images search. There were enough tiles showing in the puzzle that I could see the place was possibly a peninsula (blue water on both left and right, with an inward curving beach to the left) and that red tile roofs were a prominent feature. So I searched using the terms "red tile roofs peninsula," and luckily Sveti Stefan turned up as image #2; I knew instantly it had to be right.

For the record, I asked another winner about Googling these WTHAI questions; she said that most people did use it and that it was almost necessary, as it would otherwise be pretty much impossible unless you've happened to go to these places. Personally I've found that even with Google they are pretty much impossible!
