Well, what do you know? You're both correct. Back to square one again!

91: What Carribean island has been called Spice Island because it leads the world in nutmeg production?
Muzz: Yaren is the capital city of which Pacific island country that relies on phospate mining for its economy?

At last, a question I am sure of. The answer is Nauru Island.

[The boy formerly known as Evil Muzz 27]

I seem to remember something about the Swiss guard...So my answer is Switzerland.

[timotheus4 39]

91: That is incorrect, the correct answer is Interpol.
Muzz: That is correct.

We have a third place in sovietpower91. Sovietpower91 wins the third place silver! Congratulations!



It's the bell you ring when you want ryan's kettle corn. And if you turn it upside down, it looks almost like a trophy!

I am temporarily lifting the moratorium on discussion. Anyone who wants may chime in with comments. We will be having another brief intermission...thank you very much. And condolences to sovietpower91.

[The boy formerly known as Evil Muzz 27]

Woah....SovietPower91. You were great! Unbelievably good at geography....I have no idea how I stayed in....I just seemed to get the right questions. It almost feels wrong that I should go through...You did great up to this point, and I'm sure you will get to the finals next time (If there is a next time).

*Extends hand to Sovietpower*

[sovietpower91 2]

Interpol. i was going to say that but i thought you ment the whole world i thought Interpol was only for europe anyway i had a good run.... Very good playing Muzz it was very hard you are extremly talented at geography *accepts hand and shakes it* im glad if i had to bow out of the contest in a suddendeath match you were the guy i wanted to lose to *bows*...

Sweet i got a bell now as i nurse my wound from the loss i can ring it to get corn and..... Grilled cheese!!(from my mom or gf either one loves to cook lol) Good luck to the remaining players your both very good and deserve this.

[hello_SC4 1]

Heh, just as a FYI, Europe has Europol (Interpol is more important though).

Anyway, good job, guys! Congratulations to muzz and sovietpower.

[Ryan B 35]

Now I know you didn't just say he could ring that bell for some of my kettle corn.  LMFAO

Congrats to the top two.  This is interesting, eh?

( Psst - anyone have any ideas where I can get three more posts?  I'm that close to 1000! )

OH he did and i plan on ringing it LOTS......

[Ryan B 35]

Oh, no - you're not getting any of my kettle corn.  I ate it all already.  Muahahahaha!

Besides - .  I don't think you want any of my lousy fourth-place kettle corn. 

[timotheus4 39]

All right! It's time for the FINAL ROUND!!!

The moratorium on discussion has been reinstated. Noncontestants please refrain from comments until this round is over.

The final round will consist of three questions. These will all three be questions for both Muzz and hello_sc4. You will both PM me with your answers. Whoever, at the end of the round, has the most correct answers, will win. In the event of a tie, we will proceed in a sudden-death manner as what happened between Muzz and sovietpower_91. All questions will come from environmental and potluck geography.

FIRST QUESTION: Which central Asian country is doubly landlocked, thus surrounded by landlocked countries?

[timotheus4 39]

Unfortunately my question book has disappeared! I'll try to find it.

Anyway, Muzz gave the answer Tadjikistan and hello_sc4 gave Uzbekistan. Uzbekistan is the correct answer.

SCORE:

MUZZ 0
HSC4 1

[timotheus4 39]

Following Greenland, what is the largest island in North America, located in Northern Canada?

[timotheus4 39]

The answer was Baffin Island which both Muzz and hsc4 guessed.

SCORE:

MUZZ 1
HSC4 2

So this is the lowdown. If HSC4 gets this final answer incorrect and Muzz gets it right, the Final Round will be a tie and we'll do a sudden death match. Any other way it falls, HSC4 will win 1st place. Sorry, DuskTrooper, I knew you had bet a lot of money on Muzz and now you'll have to melt down your Trixies to pay the debt, I like you and all that, but I couldn't throw the competition, see? That would have been wrong. I feel your pain, I really do...

Final question:

Which U.S. state contains nearly 2,500 species of flora and few native mammals?

[timotheus4 39]

And the final question is in:

The boy formerly known as Evil Muzz: Connecticut

hello_SC4: Hawaii

And the answer is...Hawaii!

WE HAVE A WINNER

CONGRATULATIONS TO HELLO_SC4

Well! This was fun! I'm glad to have done this with all of you. Now let me find the prizes:

As a second place to Muzz:



An exquisite gold demonstration of fractal theory.

And for HSC4:



Well, I had to find something made out of titatium.

Congratulations to all participants! I look forward to the next time when I can hopefully be a contestant! And speaking of golf...*gets another idea for a forum game*

Any and all discussion is now permitted.

[hello_SC4 1]

Yay!

[The boy formerly known as Evil Muzz 27]

Jolly good show! I love that gold thingy! Very good game, well done for being such a great host, timotheus4! Thanks. And well done HSC4!
