Mapalicious! Or malicious! One or the other!
1. Afghanistan
2. Albania
3. Algeria
4. Angola
5. Azerbaijan (I think that's how it's spelled)
"A" for effort, if nothing else ...
1. Afghanistan
2. Albania
3. Algeria
4. Angola
5. Armenia
Yeah. What he said.
a theme quiz..
1 Afghanistan
2 Albania
3 Algeria
4 Angola
5 Armenia
the only one i knew was afghanistan. what can i say? geometry was never my strong suit.
1 / Afghanistan
2 / Albania (but you can call me "Al")
3 / Algeria (but you can call me "Al")
4 / Angola
5 / Azerbaijan (spelling?)
1. Afghanistan
2. Albania
3. Algeria
4. Angola Hmmmm sensing an "A" theme here....
5. Armenia
Now here's a quiz I can take! 'Cause geography, I suck at that!
(It reflects a rather unsettling perversity in me that I generally refuse to take your quizzes when I know all the answers, but willingly jump in when I probably don't know any.)
1. afghanistan. we're at war there.
2. moldavia? not if my theory below is correct. albania. ha!
3. algeria?
4. ok, hold on. do all these start with A? i wouldn't have any idea otherwise, but i'm going to guess angola now that i've cottoned on to your little scheme.
5. again, normally i would have no idea whatever, but if you are playing the A game here, it's armenia. right? right???
1. Afghanistan
2. Turkey? Oh I am guessing. I need to take a geography course.
3. Algeria
4. No idea.
5. No idea.
Boy, do I have some exploring to do.
1. Afghanistan
2. Bosnia & Herzegovina (spelling is probably atrocious)
3. Morocco
4. I have no clue, but I'll guess Mali
5. Armenia
From looking at everyone else's answers, I did rather poorly!
Afganistan
Albania
Algeria
Angola(not to sure but as I see and A theme forming I will wager a guess
Azerbyjan(okay I know this is no where near the correct spelling but hey hooked on phonics works for me)
Why are you prejudice against the Americas? What did they ever do to you?
Aaaaaaaaa.
1. Afghanistan
2. Albania
3. Algeria
4. Angola
5. Armenia (I hope not Azerbaijan.)
Name them? Ok.
1. Greenblobistan
2. The former Orangelumpian Republic
3. People's republic of Northwest Africa
4. Libraria
5. Squishtania
Oh - did you want their real names? No clue.
1 Swiss Grindelbad
2 Bootlich del Mar
3 Spot of mold on the gray, gray earth
4 Cote d'Rouge
5 Lesser Prince Caspian
Sometimes you're just not going to get an exclamation point no matter who you sleep with. . .
I shant guess, for my answers, though probably (possibly?) correct, would be far too late to garner any bling.
But I do like the theme you've got going.
And Rebel and mrs.5000 crack me UP!
Ooh! A map quiz! The answers to which are as follows:
1. Afghanistan
2. Albania
3. Algeria
4. Angola
5. Armenia. Not Azerbaijan. Azerbaijan is mostly to the east of Armenia and has the little disconnected part, Ngorno Karabakh, which is not only wildly controversial but also quite helpful on map quizzes.
Mrs.5K - that's actually very reassuring. Your countries have better names than mine though!
Thus, the following learned and sexy competitors are taking home the MQVL (or, if you prefer, the MQXLV) Exclamation Point: Cartophiliac, la gringissima, gs49, DrSchnell, Chance, and mhwitt!
For those of you counting, this brings the good doctor and Chance both to within one point of Mrs.5000s all-time E.P. total of 13; Carto and la gring are not far behind with 10 and 9 respectively. mhwitt breaks a sixteen-week drought to claim his fourth, and gs49 is back to claim his second.
@Elizabeth: You can't spell "mapalicious" without "malicious"....
@d: Very droll, very droll....
@Chance: As unsettling perversities go, yours is relatively unthreatening to the community.
@fingers: On the positive side, you spelled "Bosnia & Herzegovina" beautifully!
@Yankee: Last time you did a map ID quiz for me, it was merely for a grade. Now you're in the big show! Well done.
@Kadonk: Not so! In fact, I am so not prejudiced against the Americas that I choose to make my home there! I live in the United States of America, one of the many lovely countries of the Western Hemisphere. I can proudly say that quite a few of my best friends hail from the Americas!
@Reb: Yeah, yeah...
@Mrs.5000: After today's showing, you might be sleeping on the couch.
@Karin: Karin, Karin, Karin. You see, this is the kind of mistake even a seasoned Quiz veteran like Karin can make when she lets down her "Quiz Focus." ~Thursday~ Quizzes are time-dependant. ~Monday Quizzes~, you get the same bling all the way up to the final bell.
I think if I miss spelled them back in the day they were wrong, now they are just wrong before we even take into acount the spelling
@ Rebel: I was delighted to find I had such good company in my quiz-taking strategy. Though you'd think the King of the Forgotten Lands would cut us a little slack.
I think rebel deserves the gold exclamation mark.
It's true!!! I'd love to see the history of Bootlich del Mar... the flag should be pretty interesting as well. ;)
Actually, I think that Nagorno-Karabakh isn't the disconnected bit - it's a part of Azerbaijan that has been occupied by Armenia for quite a few years because it's full of Armenian-types. I only know this because I had a grad school roommate at one time who wrote a paper about it for Bob McColl, and when he told me what the paper was about, I said, "what the hell is Nagorno-Karabakh???".....
