We seem to be split on the interpretation of #10. Is it asking for a generic type of geographic feature (ie canyon, cape, coast, etc) or the proper name of a specific geographic feature (ie Carlsbad Caverns, Catskill Mountains, Copper Canyon, etc)? ---

I interpreted it to be a generic geographic feature… but it’s the Feud. 😉 I also didn’t play, since I accidently looked at the answers. ---

> [@Rebo](#): > > I interpreted it to be a generic geographic feature… but it’s the Feud. 😉 I think that the “(e.g. mountain, desert)” rules that out. Clearly the intent was for us to choose a specific location, which might be a mountain, a desert, etc. But like you say, it’s the Feud… ---

> [@Biffy\_the\_Elephant\_Shrew](#): > > I think that the “(e.g. mountain, desert)” rules that out. Clearly the intent was for us to choose a specific location, which might be a mountain, a desert, etc. I would argue just the opposite–all the examples used were common nouns, not proper nouns. She couldn’t use any that started with C (duh), but I found the intent perfectly clear–a geographic description on a generic level, not a specific place name. It’ll be interesting to see the final number on how many interpreted it each way… ---
