I shan't do a table of that because nearly everyone is on one point, bar those choosing Chad and Benin.

MrKingsley

I was very close to going for Vanuatu Noo

Also Starring LeVar Burton

I don't think this Sheep is going to go well for me, if I can't even ace with Chad!

Tauriel

I had Guatemala down originally but thought that maybe some others would think of it. Turns out it wouldn't of made a difference.

Yeah, that's unlucky

Tauriel

Phew, I was thinking Malta initially but kinda figured it may be popular with any holiday makers here.

Barney92

Munster's incorrect answer puts him in wooden spoon territory, whilst there is a 10 way tie at the top.

I also know I have a couple wrong answers later on too - took one or two risks in my guessing, but looked 'em up afterwards and they weren't good calls.

Might end up fighting to not get the Wooden Spoon this evening. :rolleyes:

munster87

Oh dear.

Tauriel

I definitely got the last one wrong, I have no idea what that is about.

Nobody had the balls to go for Ireland or something similarly "obvious" for question 1. I think I had Equatorial Guinea picked originally, which would also have sufficed.

EDIT: Actually Canada was a pretty ballsy choice there by EN. Worked out quite nicely.

Barney92

The top ten countries by population



A few more incorrect answers here, and only one Peehs

Tauriel

Oh dear, I think this could be the beginning of my downfall

Unlucky with Japan, Levar . I hope it was a difference of about a hundred people

OUCH! That's very unlucky.

I reckon Japan would have been correct a few years ago, only their birth rate is so low that they've now been overtaken.

Looking at Wikipedia, there's very little in it:

10 Mexico 126,577,691
11 Japan 126,010,000

Barney92

We're already down to three at the top now, with ASLB on the unfortunate end of a declining Japanese population.

Japan was 10th in 2017 anyway. I used it as an answer in a table quiz .

Great topic. I’m averaging 2 points per question and not even in top ten.

I was just thinking a last-man-standing PEEHS could be good. Questions with loads of answers but you get eliminated if you score more than 2 or 3 on any question

No Peehs here, although Algeria and the USA would have been.
