Amusing little riddle I ran into at a Christmas party the other day. I’m sure everyone here knows it but it stumped me for a bit the other evening until the light clicked on. Much easier to solve written out like this.
Erica is from New York
Tina is from Buenos Aires
Where is Mark from?
That’s all the information you need to solve it.
Copenhagen.
Next?
I don’t get it?
Mark is from Copenhagen
Am[Erica]
Argen[Tina]
Den[Mark]
Oh, I get it now.
And where is Russ from?
And Phil?
And Rocco?
There are 3 words in the english language ending in -gry… angry and hungry are 2 of them. I’ve already mentioned the third… what is it?
[sub]dont hurt me[/sub]
Got it. 
Where is Ada from?
Even better, where is Stan from? evil grin
Gadarene - Stan is from Kabul (or alternatively Karachi) and Ada from Toronto.
Scratch1300 - Rocco is from Marrakesh. Russ and Phil - are there countries ending in these words?
Whammo - don’t even go there!
What is the capitol or major city of Denmark! Someone help me out here >looks around desperately<
Oops. Rabat, not Marrakesh, and Ottawa, not Toronto. God knows where my head is tonight.
As for Russ and Phil - best guess, Moscow and Manila.
Don’t sweat it, mattk. It doesn’t have to be the capital, or else Erica would be from Washington.
Still to be determined is whether the country must end with the person’ name or just contain it.
And where is Ana from?
Ana would be from…Georgetown.
astro- haha, that’s the first riddle I’ve heard that’s likely to make people say ‘okay, you’ve had one too many’ instantly after hearing it 
mattk:
There’s Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, and Tajikistan, as well as Afghanistan and Pakistan. That’s why it was an evil grin!
Whoops, I used my 1000th post on Asian geography. …Well, them’s the breaks.
Congrats, Gadarene - Asian geography is certainly better than a “yay me” MPSIMS thread!
I’ll let somebody else have a go now.
Ada would be from Canada
Ad Noctum, person that is bad at Geography
Ana could also be from Gabarone.
Yeah, I didn’t get that these names were from the ends of countries. But this is fun!
Where’s Gary from?
Where’s Jan from?
Where’s Dan from?
Where’s yer Dad from?
Gary is from Budapest.
Dan is from Khartoum.
Dad’s from Port-of-Spain.
Jan’s from Baku.
