urgh I didn't answer this question - stupid!

JasonF

You have got to be kidding me.

Mordred

At least we weren't those Interior loving schmucks.

frenchy

I'm in appropriate company on this one.

The Bus

That's right folks. If you were one of the players who answered Department of the Interior, don't fret! At least you're not Birrman54, who skipped the question entirely.

He gets 17 POINTS/

Pharoh

Tracer Bullet

Hee hee!

wishbone

Ouch.

Rockmjd23

See, I'm not even winning anymore

Mordred

I can't believe nobody said Department of Homeland Security. That might have been my "obvious" answer if the Bus hadn't put Defense in the question making it the most blindingly obvious of them all.

The Bus

And let's not forget Jason, who answered:



NASA

Yes, they are an agency. But they are not a federal executive department. 17 SPACE-EXPLORIN' POINTS for you.

wishbone

And thank you for being the only other person to think that way too.

The Bus

No one said:

State
Homeland Security
Agriculture
Housing and Urban Development
Energy
Education

Tracer Bullet

I was betting on the fact that no one would remember that Veterans Affairs was a cabinet-level department. Hell, I wasn't even sure

wishbone

Agriculture popped in my head for a nanosecond before I used Mordred's reasoning on the question.

The Bus

Let's see what the scores look like after this barren wasteland of a question tore through 1/3 of the list.

The Bus

WE HAVE A NEW WINRAR!

Honestly? Fourth from last? Good gravy.

The Bus

Question 21. Name a country with a per-capita nominal GDP higher than that of the United States. (There's at least ten).



Pro Tip: Burundi would be a terrible answer.

The Bus

Let's check in with Mad Professor, who will school us on what exactly we've got in store in this final question.

Rockmjd23

So are you gonna put the new leader's answers under the magnifying glass too, The Bus? John Muir? Who the hell is that?

Red Dog

He was obviously more famous than Teddy's VP (whom I've already forgotten). At least Muir made it onto currency.

The Bus

There are three lists of countries of the world sorted by their gross domestic product per capita at nominal values, the value of all final goods and services produced within a nation in a given year, converted at market exchange rates to current U.S. dollars, divided by the average (or mid-year) population for the same year.

The figures presented here do not take into account differences in the cost of living in different countries, and the results can vary greatly from one year to another based on fluctuations in the exchange rates of the country's currency. Such fluctuations may change a country's ranking from one year to the next, even though they often make little or no difference to the standard of living of its population. Therefore these figures should be used with caution.

The Bus

The three lists are by the International Monetary Fund, the World Bank, and the CIA, which are honestly three of the most trustworthy places on Earth, so I'm sure there's no bias or anything.

wishbone

Why are you asking him, he does not know.
