A quiz about length to help pass a few idle moments. Depending on progress, and my mood, additional clues will be provided.

If you think you have the answer to the question, please hide it using the

You only need to hide the answer to the question. 1. was not a question (this will become clearer as we progress).

Cern is not right. Think of synonyms for cylinder and colloquial use.

New Providence, Iowa is not correct. You only need to hide the answer to the question, by the way.

RO,
that was my feeble attempt at an answer. Would this link contain the correct answer? http://www4.uwm.edu/usa/safety/laboratory_safety/gas_cylinders.cfm

No, that is not correct.

It is not in the US.

Even bigger clue, I use this 'cylinder' to get to work.

No, that is not correct.

Correct.

There is only one question to answer. Neither London or Suez can be the answer to that question.

3. For 25 years, this 'sapphire' has been easier to swallow than most

Previous clues

1. London
2. Suez
