Where on Earth?

You work for a company that specializes in environmental cleanup. Your company has been approached by representatives of several Eastern European governments. They want to clean up the Danube River and are asking companies in the United States to help search for sites along the Danube where waste is being dumped.

...While waiting for your results, you place little flags on a map at all the places along the river where industrial plants are located. There are a lot of them, and they are scattered among many countries.
Several days later, you get a fax. you got some resuls. You take a look and can see definite areas of heavy pollution. You look to see where the samples were taken. No locations are given.

31. We had our picnic near the capital of this new nation, which used to e the eastern part of Czechoslovakia.

I know for sure this is Slovakia, Bratislava

32. The person collecting these samples writes that she lives in the capital of this country, whose flag has blue, yellow, and red vertical stripes. She collected these samples from a part of the river about 25 miles south of her hometown. She says that the source of the pollution is industry on her
country's side of the river.

33. This person works in a chemical plant. He said that he could smell the river from his desk. The factory is located near the country's capital. He mentioned that the Danube makes a 90 degree turn from east to south just after it enters his country.

32. I know it's not Moldova.

33. I still don't know :(

Is 32 Romania?

32. Bucharest, Romania

33. Budapest, Hungary

To determine the locations described in questions 32 and 33, we can use the given information and clues to narrow down the possibilities. Let's break it down:

32. The person collecting the samples lives in the capital of a country with a flag that has blue, yellow, and red vertical stripes. They collected the samples about 25 miles south of their hometown, and the pollution source is on their country's side of the river.

- First, let's focus on the flag description. A country with a flag that has blue, yellow, and red vertical stripes is likely to be either Serbia or Romania.
- Next, we need to find the capital cities of Serbia and Romania. The capital city of Serbia is Belgrade, and the capital city of Romania is Bucharest.
- Now, we know the person collected the samples about 25 miles south of their hometown. If we draw a line south of Belgrade, we come across the Danube again, but if we draw a line south of Bucharest, we miss the Danube.
- Therefore, the answer is likely Belgrade, Serbia.

33. The person works in a chemical plant near the country's capital. The Danube makes a 90-degree turn from east to south just after it enters the person's country.

- Based on the 90-degree turn mentioned, we need to find a country where the Danube River changes its direction significantly.
- Looking at a map, we can see that the Danube makes a sharp 90-degree turn from east to south just after it enters Bulgaria.
- The capital of Bulgaria is Sofia, so it is likely that the person works in a chemical plant near Sofia.

Therefore, the answer to question 33 is Sofia, Bulgaria.

To summarize:
32. The pollution sample was collected 25 miles south of the capital city of Belgrade, Serbia.
33. The chemical plant is located near Sofia, Bulgaria.

These answers were obtained by using the given clues and knowledge of geography.
