Peehs-ing Around the World

Barney92

Hello all,

Thought I'd throw this up and see how we get on with a new round of Peehs, to provide a bit of a distraction from all that is going around at the moment. This time we are looking for countries, and by that I mean UN Member States. This is to avoid any sort of confusion as to what a country is or isn't. For the purpose of this game country = UN Member State.



Here are the categories

Name a country
Name a country in the European Union (EU)
Name a country which is in the top 10 in terms of population
Name a country which is in the top 10 in terms of size
Name a country that borders Russia
Name a landlocked country
Name a country where English is an official language
Provide a country whose name starts with the same letter as its capital
Name a country whose name ends in ‘stan’
Name a current member of Organisation of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC)
Name a country in the original Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego video game


The aim of the game is to pick the most unique correct answer, without the use of Google or any other sort of search engine-esque facility.

Please PM me with your responses, just a list of eleven countries.

Not sure how long I'll keep sign-ups open, depends on how quick entries come in. I'll give enough notice before closing though.

Regards,
Barney

Do the spellings have to be right for the -stans?

Vague recollection of a computer game in late 90's

Nah, as long as I know which country it is I'll give it to you.

Ugh, having glanced at a map after submitting I now know at least one of my answers is wrong and there's at least another two that I took a gamble on that in retrospect I also now suspect to be incorrect answers. Oh well, thems the breaks.

Cracking idea! I have a strange fondness for geography and capital cities!

I think my OPEC and Carmen Sandiego answers will let me down though

Thanks Barney, interesting set of questions. I think I got a correct answer for them all and a decent guess for the last - could everyone now avoid those ones please?

Carmen San Diego is actually one of the only ones I was 100% confident in giving a correct answer. I'd like to thank my friend Vinnie from primary school for owning that game and insisting we play it every now and again.

I'll try to get answers in over the weekend

Very tempted to say D'republic of Ireland for the capital city question

My recent discovery of a Geography themed game app helped no end here. Still some guesswork needed though! And never heard of Carmen Sandiego???

Is it still all right to whack in an entry?

It is indeed, we're up to 19 now. I'll probably leave it up for another day or so and then do the reveal on Wednesday evening.

In like flynn. Had to take a guess at the last one but other than happy enough

Barney92

So I've got a few more over the last couple of days but will be closing entries at 6pm if anyone else still wants in.
