| Assalamu ALaikum, When you say "The Prophet refused to enter that city, do you mean he didn't want to: 1- go into it? 2- conquer it? Wassalamu Alaikum, Deen:-) |

| Wow.. I asked some who owns a restaurant and is a native of this city and who still didn't know of the place that is "The" place to eat pizza! IMHO, This question is too subjective (but we'll give it our best shot ;) |

| jannah, what if you don't know ANYBODY who's from/been there or who knows the answer??? and it's not like you can find this one on the net! those who answer will be the ones with the connections ;) (other than Phil of course) ... not fair :'( |

| [slm] I dunno sis I think you can be inventive and think of ways to do it.. Find some people at your mosque from that place. Look around on the net for people who have been there/studied there. Find random people on the net that are there and ask them! Join a chat with people fromt hat place!!! Open your Horizons!!! You can do it :) |

| [slm] I am writing to vent about this question!!! I mean first, even people *from* there don't know about this stupid pizza place..Second, What is the benefit of this??? I mean the whole point is to learn something and gain from it..and I feel stupid doing research on some stupid pizza place that I would never go to, even if I was there :P I thought the whole point is to have fun and more imporantly learn..and I feel like i am doing neither...I even felt stupid asking this lady from there..."errr..do you know the biggest pizza place???" and she goes "huh???" I just pray the rest of the questions are going to be more beneficial than this. Sis, Maliha :-) [wlm] |

| Wow maliha... you can always drop out of the race if it's getting too tough for you... The point of the game is to learn something yes.. but what's the point of just spitting back trivia.. You learn something more when you actually have to go out and talk to people. I wanted people to talk to ppl from there and students and have to reach a little and be inventive in getting this answer....Plus I wanted a question you couldn't find on the web :) |

| [slm] Phil just bamboozled me with Q2 ;D I stayed awake for almost two hours on the very night she posted the question, trying to find out to which land and city our beloved Prophet [saw] travelled, and I drew a blank. On the following morning, I read her reply to a question where she said "refused to enter the city literally" which made my task easy. I have already sent in my answer and I do hope it is correct. As Phil has reminded us, we need to read the question a million times to find the answer hidden behind the clues and the riddles. The question is cleverly phrased. I enjoy this Race :) |

| [color=blue] bismillah.. assalamu alaikum i am watching the race excitedly. i have to admit the last question was not very intuitive. however, the answer IS out there and on the web, in a place not too far from here...it is old now, but useful visit sometimes. i am not giving out the answer, that would be unfair. i'm just trying to infuse hope (and a prod) into the contestants who are a bit lost. sis maliha and mohja (and the silent confused ones), you guys just need to work at it a little bit more. take care wassalamu alaikum [/color] |

| [slm] [quote]the answer IS out there and on the web, in a place not too far from here...it is old now, but useful visit sometimes. [/quote] haha zomorrud, you're good :) but it's still subjective. i'm not sure if that place is the "best (or even the biggest) place in town for pizza and ice cream." Jannah, how about you give us a little hint ... like, which letter does the name of the restaurant begin with? |

this riddle has got me going no where. I've got three people saying three different things, can't figure out who's right. BTW what is our deadline? |
