400 Post Giveaway Well a little late but I figured I'd do a small giveaway for everyone. Ive learned quite a bit from many of you on the boards so its only fitting I give back. I currently have some Puerto Rico quarters that were sent to me in rolls from the biggest bank in Puerto Rico. With that being said this is how it will work. I will post 10 questions on the board. In order for the 1st poster to win a PR quarter he/she must answer the first question and first question only. The 2nd poster that wants a quarter must answer the 2nd question only, the 3rd person must answer the 3rd question and so on until all questions are answered in the order I post them. Some will be easier and some harder to answer. I will post a bonus question at the end which will net the winner a total of 5 quarters and 1 roll of 2009 Lincoln pennies, however the bonus question or hint must only be answered after all 10 questions have been answered. Bonus question is open to everyone even if they have won in the previous questions. Only one poster per question, except bonus which is open to everyone regardless if you won in one of the previous questions Remember this is free and the only thing that is necessary is an address for me to send you the quarters. Here are the questions: 1. What is the biggest bank in Puerto Rico and its ticker symbol? ***Answered*** 2. What is the name of the flower on the reverse side of the Puerto Rico quarter?***Answered*** 3. What is the actual name of the structure on the reverse of the Puerto Rico quarter? (Answer must be provided in Spanish)***Answered*** 4. What name did Puerto Rico have back then when it was first discovered***Answered*** 5. There is an island by Puerto Rico used for military Naval bombings, what is the name of it?***Answered*** 6. What is the largest city in Puerto Rico?***Answered*** 7.

What city has the biggest population in Puerto Rico?***Answered*** 9. What is the name of Puerto Rico's national anthem***Answered*** 10. What indians largely inhabited the island of Puerto Rico Bonus question: What is my last name (it is spanish)????

I was looking more for a specific name of what is shown which is a sentry tower but...your answer is also right because it is the name of the entire structure

Hmmm I'llake it because that is also the name the indians gave the island when it was discovered by Christopher Columbus. I was looking for the name Christopher Columbus gave it once he discovered it which was Isla de San Juan Bautista. Question number 5 is next!!!

Re: 400 Post Giveaway 7. The James Bond movie GoldenEye filmed several scenes in this famous scientific structure. What is the name of it and where is it located? I believe it is Arecibo Observatory in the town of La Muy Leal Villa. It was also featured in the movie Contact (1997)
