Riddle #34: From Australia
A truckers convention hosted truckers from all over North America and also Australia. As people were mingling around and talking, one of the truckers said to the other one: "Oh, I see the Australian truckers are over there. I'm going to go and talk with them." He had not heard the Australian truckers talking, and they did not have nametags or any specific clothing that distinguished them as Australian. How did he know they were Australian?

Could they tell by looking at the
ReplyDeletelicense plates?
Was it because they all gathered together in one group, away from the American truckers?
ReplyDeleteDid they fly any kind of flag?
ReplyDeleteAaron, No, this was inside the convention center.
ReplyDeleteHalfmask -- No, it wasn't because they were all gathered together.

ReplyDeleteNo, the Australians did not have a flag of any kind.
I'M THINKING THEY ALL HAD MORE SUNBURN OR TAN ON THEIR RIGHT ARMS, BECAUSE THEIR STEERING IS ON THE RIGHT AND THEIR ARMS HANG ON THAT WINDOW.
ReplyDeleteSorry, didn't mean to shout!
ReplyDeleteSonja, you're correct. Good job! That was fast.
ReplyDeleteSome Aussie friends visited in September/October, so it was right at the forefront of my mind. One kept having issues with which side of the car he would get in on. - sugarriver
ReplyDeleteInteresting. I had thought of making it Great Britain, but then they wouldn't be likely to get much of a tan in Great Britain since it's cloudy all the time. It was interesting researching the different countries where they drive on the left side of the road.
