    I think you are right Cologne. William Henry Harrison spent the shortest time in office with 32 days in 1841. Franklin D. Roosevelt spent the longest with over twelve years.

    O.K. Which City am I describing.

    1. It once had a national border running through it.
    2. It has 4 churches from 4 nationalities in one street (Within 100 metres of each other).
    3. Since about 1860 it has had a law stating that for every tree felled two must be planted.
    4. The city has a very high number of bridges.

    Not Budapest either. A few more clues.

    1. There is a cemetary only for football fans there.
    2. Some of the people there might feel homesick when listening to the song Hell's Bell's from ACDC when they are away.
    3. There is an area from the present City boundaries which was once glaciated.

    Hamburg is correct ! The whole of the west of what is now Hamburg ie. Altona up as far as the Reeperbahn was earlier Schleswig Holstein and Danish for about 80 years. The 4 churches are the Seaman's churches from, Norway, Sweden, Denmark and Finland, all in the Admiralitätsstraße. It has between 2,300 and 2,500 bridges - the most in the World. The Football club Hamburg S.V. actually buries it's own fans in the club's cemetary - unique I think. NZ has passed it over and I have to go out soon so it's now open who sets the next question.

    There are around 7000 languages spoken in the world - which country has the highest number of indigenous ones? I'll ask for how many as well, but you don't have to name them all....
