Paragraph 2 Note

The man below replied, 'You're in a hot air balloon

hovering approximately 30 feet above the ground.

You're between 40 and 41 degrees north latitude and

between 59 and 60 degrees west longitude.'

Literal answer

In real terms a totally spurious answer as it does not provide

any specificity of location rather it just indicates a general

area of the globe.

Stating the obvious – you are in a hot air balloon

Approximately at 30 feet

However, giving approximate height and geo global

reference e.g. Turkmenistan though factually correct

is, without contextualisation, useless.
