  9. a cursory glance that fueled mild panic netted poland and possibly paraguay, and then i realized that the letter this week is 'p'. so guesses on the rest:

    1. pakistan
    2. paraguay
    3. poland
    4. phillipines
    5. papau new guinea

    i almost wanted to call a boycott on all future geography quizzes, but then calmed down.

  10. Wait.

    Papua is the capitol of New Guinea, right? How can it be "Name that Country" when Papua is just a city? I hope Papua, therefore, is a wrong answer!

    ...and I am not just saying that because I couldn't think up Philippine Islands for #4. I was struggling for any geographic P word (obviously) and ultimately just anything beginning with P.

    Another grisly Performance....

  17. Woo hoo! We did it. Of course this just means he'll make the next one harder.

    Snowgirl: I had Palau too, until I noticed the border across the middle of the main island. The divided-in-half island was my PNG clue.

    Michael: can you please explain the Philippines number-y map.

  18. Border across middle of main island? Was this visible to the aged eye?
