Now Here's a <i>Really</i> Tough Puzzle:
Consider yesterday's puzzle:
What are the highest-grossing movies set in (1) North America, (2)
Latin America, (3) Europe, (4) Asia, (5) Africa, and (6) Australia?
Now solve it for worldwide grosses, adjusted for inflation. I used the
table [1]here; I hope it has the right data and the right adjustments.
Also, for purposes of this problem, consider a movie to be set in some
place if a substantial chunk of the movie takes place there.
([2]Show answers.)
(1) Gone With the Wind, (2) Jurassic Park, (3) The Sound of Music, (4)
The Ten Commandments, (5) The Ten Commandments, (6) Finding Nemo.
([3]Hide answers.)
