A ziggurat (/ˈzɪɡəræt/ ZIG-ər-at; Akkadian ziqqurat, D-stem of zaqāru "to build on a raised area") was a massive structure built in ancient Mesopotamia and the western Iranian plateau. It had the form of a terraced step pyramid of successively receding stories or levels. Notable ziggurats include the Great Ziggurat of Ur near Nasiriyah, the Ziggurat of Aqar Quf near Baghdad, the now destroyed Etemenanki in Babylon, Chogha Zanbil in Khūzestān and Sialk. == Description == Ziggurats were built by the ancient Sumerians, Babylonians, Elamites, Akkadians, and Assyrians for local religions.

n_palum

@GarethMcCaughan You're right. Wasn't thinking.

Leaky Nun

ooh ooh, contact 1a

Leaky Nun

I pass 1a (is that a number?).

Gareth McCaughan

@Rubio your guess?

I guess it might, maybe, be simplex.

I hope I'm not wrong.

Gareth McCaughan

@Rubio bingo!!!!

Rubio

4:32 PM

whoa. I was on the edge of my seat

Gareth McCaughan

@LeakyNun of course 1a is a number. It's the smallest real number strictly greater than 1.

Gareth McCaughan

followed of course by 1b, 1c, and so on, exactly up to 1z.

Leaky Nun

@GarethMcCaughan There isn't such a number though

manshu

n_palum

4 was SIMPLICITY I messed up the clue though

Leaky Nun

@GarethMcCaughan I'm expecting your defence.

@n_palum I like the CITY clue.

Gareth McCaughan

Unfortunately I have to go soon and therefore can't defend right now.

(I am aware that I keep doing this.)

So someone else should defend.

@Gareth I think you know but Good game is actually a term that is used for a handshake in chess games online when you can't physically do a handshake.

n_palum

Should have been One inside endlessly basic city...

Gareth McCaughan

@Sid well, it's a pretty common thing for game opponents in any online game to say to one another afterwards.

n_palum

@Sid It's from a lot of things... not just online chess ;)

Gareth McCaughan

or indeed not online

though as you say there are often other conventional things that happen after a game when contestants are physically colocated

Phoenix

Who's defending then

n_palum

I say it in person in sports, and online after games you often say GG for good game (Had fun, thanks for playing etc)

Sid

4:35 PM

Yep, that.

Leaky Nun

So who will defend?

Sid

I used to do those till chess.com banned me.

Kritixi Lithos
