This gives us ten Exclamation Point winners for the 75th running of the Monday Quiz.
DrSchnell, la gringissima, and Cartophiliac, second, third, and fourth on the all-time leaderboard, all pull closer to the number one spot this week.
Map fiends mhwitt and Dug each grab a 7th E.P., and Decathlon Champion Eversaved stops by to pick up her 5th.
Nichim scores her 10th MQ victory, and Morgan and lamanyana both grab their second.
And Walter Sobchak announces his presence with authority, becoming the 63rd human to win a Monday Quiz Exclamation Point on his first Quiz outing. Welcome to the show, Walter!
This is true... it took, what like 7 'countries that all start with the same letter' quizes for me to pick up on the pattern, you switch it up now and well... there would be repercussions.
Yeah... wasn't thinking, and didn't notice the "N" thing. It would have made finding "Nicaragua" easier, because I couldn't remember whether is was Honduras or Nicaragua.
Voting in the Infinite Art Tournament? Awesome. And, please be aware that purely anonymous votes are not counted. You don't need to log in or use your real name, but you must identify yourself in some fashion for your vote to count.

@Miss Saved: "Seriously, who puts Nauru in a quiz!?": I aim to please.
ReplyDelete@Nichim: Are you sure you're not so good at maps? 'cause it says here you won during Countries That Start With E Week, too.
@Morgan: "Norway, New Zealand, Nicaragua, Niger, Nepal, Guam"? If I actually pulled something like that, these people would lynch me.
This is true... it took, what like 7 'countries that all start with the same letter' quizes for me to pick up on the pattern, you switch it up now and well... there would be repercussions.
ReplyDeletehttp://xkcd.com/591/
You avoided my question... I would still like to know what kind of map has Tchad....
ReplyDeleteI am good at "name five things that start with the letter...," not good at maps.
ReplyDeleteNow, now, M5000. Lynching would be too GOOD for some people.
ReplyDeleteI am sure we would come up with something much more creative!
Yeah... wasn't thinking, and didn't notice the "N" thing. It would have made finding "Nicaragua" easier, because I couldn't remember whether is was Honduras or Nicaragua.
ReplyDeleteTchad is the French spelling of Chad, so "a map that's in French." I too would like to know more about the various maps.
