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


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,428 ✭✭✭MrKingsley


    I was very close to going for Vanuatu Noo

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

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

    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:


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,213 ✭✭✭munster87


    Oh dear.


  • Registered Users Posts: 30,308 ✭✭✭✭Tauriel


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


  • Posts: 0 [Deleted User]


    Nobody had the balls to go for Ireland or something similarly "obvious" for question 1. :p 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.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,906 ✭✭✭Barney92

    A few more incorrect answers here, and only one Peehs

    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


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,906 ✭✭✭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

    Top ten countries by area next
