Peehs-ing Around the World

    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

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 71,799 ✭✭✭✭Ted_YNWA


    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 :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,428 ✭✭✭✭Electric Nitwit


    Entered :)

    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? :p


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,503 ✭✭✭✭Also Starring LeVar Burton


    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


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,515 ✭✭✭aaronjennings


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


  • Registered Users Posts: 343 ✭✭Siobh73


    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?


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

    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.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,443 ✭✭✭davetherave


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


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