The Bus

I'm (slowly) working on a spreadsheet with every result from every game.

wendersfan

I can confirm Meathead's assertion.

JasonF

As far as my research indicates, the following answers are wrong.

Andorra
Germany
Great Britain
Japan

Research is based on the six lists here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of...y_GDP_(nominal)

And here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of...PP)_per_capita

With six lists to review, though, it's possible I goofed up, so if you see one you think is right, speak up.

Be warned, grundle -- I will check wikipedia's edit history!

And one person -- Flashback -- went with that continent-less no man's land, Australia

Tommy Ceez

Alot of Google and only two guys admitted it

JasonF

That means there were two correct unique answers (Australia and the Netherlands), so Flashback and feenst each get a 10 point bonus!

The Bus

Or people played one of my games, where this was a similar question. (I believe I said Top 10).

Pharoh

Damn you Venusian!


What are you doing attending anyways?

Flashback

Woo!!!!!!

Now the next one is funny as this weekend I met a person from Lockheed and the only thing I could do was stop listening to him and think SHIT that would have been a better answer.

Mordred

JasonF

Or most people know that tiny European, Asian and Middle Eastern countries, along with Scandanavian countries, are, as a general rule, relatively rich.

LurkerDan

These don't look like obviously googled answers.

Pharoh

Or perhaps even some people, (and this seems like quite the informed group), know a thing or two?

Flashback

Dumb question maybe but is UK the correct answer not GB? I get confused on that one.

Venusian

I don't know how I'm doing so well while watching. I can attend games during work. It's off work time I'm iffy

Mordred

And how.

LurkerDan

[Red Dog] The Middle East is part of Asia [/Red Dog]
