I’ll admit to a little confusion between the differences inherent in the Pacific Islands, and Oceania.

(Missed feuding. I hope I made this one.)
ETA: I should have gone with my first impulse for #4, after all. At least someone else did think of Ukraine.

62

Ha! I never thought of doing that!

Uh-oh, I matched only half of Swampbear’s answers. Look like I’ll suck on this one. :stuck_out_tongue:

63

Egads, I matched seven of swampbear’s answers.
He must be having a bad day. :wink:

Some more notes:

New Guinea is not a country – it’s divided between Papua New Guinea (the eastern part) and the Indonesian provinces of Papua and West Papua (this area was formerly known as Irian Jaya).

Borneo is divided among the country of Brunei, the Malaysian states of Sabah and Sarawak (Malaysia also includes the Malay Peninsula), and the Indonesian portion (Kalimantan).

Tahiti is not a country – it’s the main island of French Polynesia.

Caledonia is an old name for Scotland. The Pacific “island collectivity” of New Caledonia belongs to France, but a referendum on independence is slated for sometime between 2014 and 2019.

ETA: Dolores, your tally shows 49 answers for #9 and 51 for #10.

67

It does not matter. If 49 people wrote down France for the middle east country ,they would score the points.

68

I was going for Transylvania and Nicaragua but I did not want to spend time thinking of the spelling, so I changed to the right answers.

69

And the winner is ~drumroll~ Ellen Cherry!!! Excellent! ::flings confetti:: Ellen got 9/10 top answers. Very good! Perfect score was 570.00.

Thanks, everyone! Thanks also to Aspidistra for a fun Feud!

I believe MsWhatsit will be posting a new one this afternoon!

Damn, you are one sharp cookie! I caught that after I posted it, and corrected the standings sheet. I think it changed the standings beginning around 8th or 9th place.

Blame it on Munch. :wink: He skipped question 8 and I had to renumber his answers. Wrongly. :slight_smile:

I counted New Guinea in with Papua New Guinea, FTR.

71

Where else would you put it? :confused:

72

Hey Gonzo! Get your ass down here, right now!

You know it’s not healthy to hang around with those yupsters!

73

:eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:

Wow! I’m speechless! I guess Swampbear is gonna be checking my answers from now on. struts

74

2nd again. What do I need to do to win win? I nearly doubled the Worm. I would like to thank the little people who made this possible. I will post a site so you can purchase my autograph.

75

Practically big enough to be a category on its own :wink: Which is a semi-serious answer … round here if someone said “look at that Asian man over there” and the guy was Indian, you’d be looking behind him to find the Thai/Malaysian/Chinese/Vietnamese person your friend was really talking about. If I were categorising people by ethnicity I’d put in a separate box for Indian/Pakistani.

Also, if the “Asian” category is going to involve India and China it’s waaaay to big! We need a little more precision here :wink:

76

Also…gah! Pathetically average in my own feud! :sigh:. Again…

77

I may not play a mean game of Feud, but I do play a median one.
