You are on the right track, but you still lost.

I looked it up, so I won't say. (Forgot you had asked it as a question on the previous page.)
But "dex" is not ten. Deka/deca is ten. As in: decathalon, decade, or the Dewey Decimal System.
"Osis" is what you say when you want your sister to listen up. "Osis, who's going to fold the clothes tonight before Mom and Dad get home?"
ps. Sneaky pun you dropped right there.

Hispanic vs. Latino vs. Chicano
Do you know the difference(s)? If so, what are they?

Hispanic refers to Spain (and I guess Portugal, maybe, but maybe not). So people associated with Spain or the colonies of Spain and the culture of Spain are considered "Hispanic".
Latino refers to "Latin America", and so I think does not actually include Spain itself.

Long before highways were built in California, the main thoroughfare up and down the entire region was El Camino Real, basically a dirt road for wagons and horseback traffic. This road still exists today. In the 1700s and 1800s, Spain built these "things" all along El Camino Real up and down the entire region which still stand today and are maintained by the State of California as tourist attractions.
1. What are these "things"?
2. Geographically, how far apart were these "things" from each other?
3. What was the purpose of these "things"?
4. All along El Camino, which today function as the main roads through some cities and towns, and in other parts, integrated with HWY 101, are these "monumental" structures that are separated roughly a mile apart from each other (for the most part). You can see them when you drive down here, especially if you know what you're looking for. What are these structures?

1. Missions
2. Spaced apart a certain travel distance (like two days travel)
3. Ostensibly, to convert los indios, or native people, to Catholicism (but they often ended up being indentured workers).

I learned all this a few years ago as we drove from the Bay Area down to San Diego and stopped at every goddamn mission as part of a family "California Mission Tour."Correct answers: Long before highways were built in California, the main thoroughfare up and down the entire region was El Camino Real, basically a dirt road for wagons and horseback traffic.

Convert the Native American population.4.

The heaviest building in the world is Bucharest's House of Parliament (pictured below). What's it weigh (within 100,000 lbs)?  |

pps. I just looked it up on Wikipedia, which of course is the most reliable source in existence, and the Great Pyramid is estimated to be 50% heavier than Bucharest's House of Parliament. I consider the Great Pyramid to be a building.
