  • This challenge can be easy or hard you decide. LOL, what kind of person am I? You’ll determine that based on your solution. Anyway, that’s not important right now. What’s important is that I want the location where I’m standing. Actually, just give me the coordinates, place name, and the continent.
  • flag format: BAU{continent_placename_xx.xxxx_xx.xxxx}
  • If there are spaces, just delete them. All letters must be lowercase.

  1. as we see in the pictures we have first picture that is from an outside view and the second one is from the location we want to retrieve
  2. if we check the upper picture we will see that it’s all white ( meaning that a place is all snow ) also if we check the position it’s from the bottom that means west of the world and it’s near the sea
  3. going to google map and zooming out
