What about down under John N. ? I'll say this: I've been to one of the well-known Australasian countries. (Many times.) |

Russia is out. New Guinea could be in, but I did say that the four countries you had right were all in Europe ... so by deduction, New Guinea is ... out. |

John, you've improved the number of correct European countries from 5 to 6 (of 9). One of the European countries from your first guess that was left out this time was correct. I told you previously that 2 of the 3 Asian countries were correct, yet you changed them all. By deduction, one out of the 4 African, North American, South American and Australasian countries has been right both times. Kenya can't be right, because uli chose Kenya, and all her correct guesses were European. There are a few more deductions that can be made with the clues I've given! |

Back up to 8 in total, John. 6 in Europe, 2 in Asia. All others are not correct. Some more clues: The African country is a small one in southern Africa. The North and South American countries have the same official language. Any other takers? John's playing all on his own... |

John - 10 correct. 5 in Europe, 2 in Asia, 3 elsewhere. You have 17 guesses this time - one too many in Europe. uli - 9 correct. 5 in Europe, 2 in Asia, 2 elsewhere. You have 15 guesses this time - one too few (nothing in Australasia). Reminder: one of the Asian countries is in the Middle East. In all the guesses so far, there are two countries still missing. One Nordic country, and one in the Middle East. |

John pretty much established Australia, no need to repost. I had a question with regards to two countries in the Middle East you never answered. Ok, remove Sweden and substitute Finland only other Nordic Country left. Pluto will always be a planet to me. Seti Ambassador Not to late to order an Anni Shirt |

uli, you're up to 11 with your one change and the addition of Australia. 6 in Europe, 2 in Asia, and 3 others are correct. I've looked for your unanswered question on two Middle Eastern countries, but I cannot find it. Would you like to ask again? Miep, you're on 7 (or 8, if Australia is to be included automatically). 4 in Europe, 2 in Asia, and 1 (or 2) others are correct. I also thought this would be done and dusted by now, but I let it run over the weekend (with only 2 players!) I'll call it tomorrow morning, Central African Time (UTC+2). |
