Chavardz: You posted while you were drunk. Never, ever post when you are drunk. I suggest someone else start a hunt, **don’t be squeamish** seems to be … lost. ---

The post on this thread wasn’t posted while drunk. I opened a thread to discuss my drunkeness. The page that had the question was: [http://internetdetective.blogspot.com](http://internetdetective.blogspot.com) The question was: what’s my post count? All you had to do was figure out the Blog site (I hinted it was a popular one) and put in the name of the thread, which I metioned was in the address. I vote for **missing\_link** to start a new one. ---

Well done **don’t be squeamish** - I would have got there if I hadn’t had to go 😉 . I think you should give **don’t be squeamish** a bit more time to either think of or set up a question. Failing that though, **missing\_link** gets my vote too. ---

Thanks for your votes of confidence 😉 . I have quite a lot of work to do right now, so I couldn’t post a question anyways till the evening. So let’s say if **don’t be squeamish** hasn’t posted the next question till I get home at about 7 p.m., I’ll post the next one. ---

Well, it seems that **don’t be squeamish** still isn’t around. So I’ll post a question. It is a pretty easy one and there should be no language barriers. What is the adress of the house on the picture[here](http://n.ethz.ch/student/schmdavi/download/detpic.jpg) ? ---

Swedish German again? _groan_ I’ll try and solve it a bit later, I have some work to do now. ---

You should be able to solve it without having to read swiss german. Honestly. There probably are some sites in german about it but as far as I know, using only sites in english should suffice. ---

I say - [http://n.ethz.ch/student/schmdavi/download/detpic.jpg](http://n.ethz.ch/student/schmdavi/download/detpic.jpg) (but I’m guessing you didn’t mean _ **internet** _ address…) ---

Well, that gives ten points for ingenuity, but no, I meant the actual physical adress of the house. Hint: It was designed by a famous architect ---

Is the famous architect your namesake? [David Schmid, the architect](http://www.swiss-architects.com/content/profiles/index.cfm?fuseaction=profile&architect=1819&lang=d) ---

No, it isn’t. I didn’t even know that there is an architect with that name, but as I said, there are David Schmids all over the place here, one was bound to become an architect. The architect is actually world famous. I don’t want to give too many hints, because as soon as you know his name you find it pretty quickly, so I’ll just say: “Le” ---

Yes, absolutely correct. It is called the Heidi - Weber house and is situated next to a park at the shores of the Zurich lake. It was designed by LeCorbusier in the 60s. It’s a really cool building and houses artwork and furniture of LeCorbusier. More info can be found at [http://www.lecorbusier-centre.com/](http://www.lecorbusier-centre.com/) ---

Guess keturah is the winner… I hope the new question is posted up soon. Can anyone tell me how they found it. ---

Sorry guys, I posted and then went out. Re [b/] Chavardz[b/] I knew as soon as [b/]missing link[b/] said “Le”, but then I am married to an architect. I just searched google images for Le Corbusier until I found a building with similar characteristics to the photo. It was a guess, albeit an educated one. I will defer my question (as I am better at answering than questioning) until I think of one. In the meantime [b/]primesite[b/] the floor is yours. ---
