Answer 14

Well done to Rikko. And thanks everyone - that was fun!

And the mystery object is a "Control Card" used in Rogaines.

A rogaine is a long distance cross-country navigation race. You have to try and reach as many checkpoints as you can. There might be 200 "checkpoints" available but you and your team have to decide strategies to reach as many as possible within the time allowed.

At each checkpoint there will be a hole punch ("perforada") that is embedded with the number of the checkpoint. ...Then you punch your "control card" for that particular "checkpoint".

The Cockatoo Hill Rogaine had about 600 competitors and you have to return to the "marshalling area" within eight hours. It's exhausting and a lot of fun:o

Answer 15

Rogaine here is a hair growth product.

I know - whenever I look for "rogaine" info on line I always have to sort through the other "Rogaine" lol - nonombre, May 16, 2010

But you know, I think it was a "navigation race" before it was a drug :o - nonombre, May 16, 2010
