Yabut, who besides the Germans would need a building size mix master?

The cake capital of the world

I'm pretty sure it is in France but I don't know where.

glatt · 12-30-2011, 05:12 PM

Not France either.

Seems a lot of places don't want to claim 'cake capital of the world' but 'fruitcake capital of the world' is very popular, per google.

The building looks so much like our power plant building, and a couple manufacturing buildings in town. So I'm guessing it's somewhere in the states.

Not in the USA.

I live a few blocks from the birthplace of "Pie a la Mode"

Spent an hour on it.

Then I cheated.

Never assume.

glatt · 12-31-2011, 07:15 AM

An hour! Oh man, I'm sorry.

OK, let me give out a big hint for anyone left playing.

There's tremendous airflow through that contraption on the side of the building.

footfootfoot · 12-31-2011, 07:54 AM

Do they make ball bearings or marbles there? It looks a little short for a bearing tower (if that's what they are called) and a little too close to the parking lot, but who knows?

glatt · 12-31-2011, 12:52 PM

No, but now you have me wondering how ball bearings are made.

That big hint helped, I was getting nowhere before that hint. Searching for "vertical wind tunnel" did not help, it just gave lots of hits concerning indoor skydiving, but searching on "vertical brick wind tunnel" led to the TsAGI Central Aerohydrodynamic Institute in Moscow.

Well done!
