Where in the World?
So you think you know geography? Well, whether or not you do is immaterial. There are
presently 195 independent countries in the world. The clues to these nations don’t require
any knowledge of the country, its people, or its location. Most clues are based loosely on
pronounciation or spelling. Some clues are more obtuse than others; some are down right
obscure. If you are foolidh enough to try this it serves you right.
The purpose is simple – to use up time that might be put to more productive use. The
following is an example to get you started.
EXAMPLE: For Bermuda the clue might be: “onion or triangle” or it could be: “cold
sound + feline sound + abbreviation for District Attorney.”
The hyphens given in the clues refer to the number of syllables.
RULES: IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO CHEAT. YOU MAY USE ANY SOURCE,
REFERENCE WORK, PERSON, OR TEAM OF PEOPLE. BUT SPELLING OF THE
ACTUAL COUNTRY MUST BE CORRECT.
