Where was the strangest place a duel was fought?
Correct answer: In a hot air balloon
EsenMau
Wow...this just pops my cork...a duel in a hot air balloon...as is proven true much too often...reality is much stranger and more unbelievable than the greatest fiction...
Player atticus
sunsetdb7, I pictured them in the same balloon.

It's amazing how often 'being men of high standing' translates to 'being men of massive ego's and very small brains.'
sunsetdb7
So then the option shoukd have been "hot air balloons" not just "A hot air balloon."

It really irks me when folks guess incorrectly, then blame the question for some alleged "hair splitting" discrepancy. What a bunch of cry babies! i missed the question because I didn't know the answer - simple as that. You don't hear me crying about it. For God's sake - it's only a game.

In the movie Those Magnificent Men in their flying Machines the duel is reenacted by a Frenchman who is challenged by a German. Movie is set in early part of 20th century. Very funny.
Phadraiga
Damomma2004, yes. And if I remember correctly it was above a sewage pond. the German won but he laughed so hard his Picklehaub (spiked helmet) punctured his own balloon so he fell into the sewage with the Frenchman.

Strange is subjective. Not a good question.

Player #16500562, now I'm picturing two balloons flying around like crazy as if the air were let out of them. (I'd kind of like to see that.)

ChampionNymph37634, you can't 'know' the answer to a question that is entirely subjective.
