OK! This question is a question for EVERYBODY. Do NOT post the answer in this thread. PM the answer to me. There are 48 hours in which to answer.

Which country is the world's leading coffee producer?

[timotheus4 39]

ryanb_sc4: Brazil
AJHAINC: Columbia
justanothersim86: Brazil
sovietpower91: Brazil
The Boy Formerly Known As Evil Muzz: United States
hello_sc4: Brazil
AEwilly17: Columbia

And the answer is --- Brazil!

Moving on to the next round is Muzz (1 wrong) sovietpower, hello_sc4, and ryanb_sc4 (1 wrong). Apologies to all our other contestants, we'll be taking a short break before we move on to U.S. Geography, with the same format as before - two with choices, two without choices, one group question. We'll keep on this scheme, switching topics every 5 questions, until we're down to two. Then the slate will be wiped for those two and we'll do a run-off.

im confused? did you mean right?.. Also we have a US geograph catigory[:0] lol this outta be fun lol

[timotheus4 39]

Well I'm confused too, because I only denoted 1 wrong on muzz and ryan. In other words, you and hello need to get two wrong to be out. Muzz and ryan only need one.

[The boy formerly known as Evil Muzz 27]

Just a quick question, do wrong answers get carried over into every round? I got one question wrong so will it be reset for the next round or will I still only need 1 wrong to be put out? Also, I will be away most of tomorrow and most of Tuesday...

[Ryan B 35]

Whew.  Got through the first round!  Congrats to everyone who made it as well. 

Now then, to my strong point - US Geography.

[hello_SC4 1]

Congratulations to everyone!

Okay, I'm better at World Geography than at US Geography, but I'll still do my best. How long will this short break last though? I'll have very limited amounts of time on the internet until Saturday afternoon (GMT +2), so I hope I won't miss one of the questions...

Tis indeed a good question, and something that I have pondered. My eventual conclusion has been:

Reset when there are two left
Reset when we move to round 4

So wrong answers will be carried into this round and the next (physical geography). After that there will be a reset and wrong answers throughout the human geography section (rounds 4+) will carry over into all subsequent rounds until there are only two left. If there are only two left before the start of round 4 then there will be a reset for those two as well.

A brief amendment to the rules: there will be now a 48-hour grace period for all questions except for the general question, which there will be only a 24-hour one for. So in essence you now will have 4 days to answer a question. New questions will be given every two days (given the time for me) and if you have more than one question outstanding and only post the answer to one, the other will be counted wrong.

Hope that was understandable! Now for the questions:

sovietpower91: Which state borders the Atlantic Ocean - South Carlina or South Dakota?
The Boy Formerly Known As Evil Muzz: Which state borders the Gulf of Mexico - Alabama or Arizona?

[Ryan B 35]

New Mexico is part of the Sunbelt region.

[The boy formerly known as Evil Muzz 27]

The Boy Formerly Known As Evil Muzz: Which state borders the Gulf of Mexico - Alabama or Arizona?

[hello_SC4 1]

[sovietpower91 2]

sovietpower91: In which state is gambling the leading industry - Oklahoma or Nevada?

Im going to say Nevada. But in reality it is neither because Oklahoma's biggest industry is Aerospace and tourism is the larget industry in Nevada

[Ryan B 35]

If my memory serves me correctly, Custer was involved in a bit of a clash with several Indian tribes. 

And, something in my memory remembers seeing something about Bighorn on a Montana license plate several years ago.

 

Therefore - my answer is . . . . . Montana.

New York. Going there in October, yay!
