    $\begingroup$ This reminds me of a true story about a researcher who hiked to the top of a volcano with other researchers. It was night and the researcher looked at the sky and said "even here we can't see any stars even though we're far from the light pollution of cities". His friends were surprised by this declaration and that's how they found out that he was suffering from lack of oxygen because of the volcano emissions, which affected his vision and prevented him from seeing the stars. $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ I like this very much but it doesn't solve how the caller knows exactly where he is. Maybe it is a variation where the caller has some disease that makes him see this and can only be treated at one place, or the disease is super rare and he is the only person known to have it. It must also affect memory. $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ @Beothorn Yes. The picture attached seems very unlikely to be a picture of an actual place, if at all that is what it is meant to be in the first place. $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ The puzzle's asking where the caller is, though; that suggests that there's supposed to be a way to name a specific place where they are. It also doesn't really explain the responder's odd response in Hint C? $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ Good guess, but this answer is incorrect. $\endgroup$
