I believe the calculation is correct. Bear with me if wrong.

1. Ivorian (2 wrong --1 single) — 6 pts
2. coolcah36 (1 wrong -- 1 single) — 7 pts
3. Woof (2 wrong) — 7 pts
4. dinghammer (1 wrong --2 single) — 8 pts
5. 9021amyers (1 wrong -- 1 single) — 9 pts
6. dott888 (2 wrong) — 9 pts
7. immaf — 10 pts
8. kebert.xela (1 wrong) — 10 pts
9. quarterrican (1 wrong) — 12 pts
10. patkav — 14 pts
10. Magna — 14 pts
12. Caboom (2 single) — 15 pts
12. Gamawire — 15 pts
14. clprez (2 single) — 16 pts
15. econgator — 16 pts
16. whatisbishkek (1 wrong) — 16 pts
17. Bamaman (1 single) — 17 pts
18. BobF — 17 pts
19. dnbguy — 18 pts
20. MarkBarrett ( 1 wrong ) — 18 pts
21. Blue Lion — 19 pts
22. ouachiouat — 20 pts
23. tjconn728 — 22 pts

Half of the pack already have at least 1 strike against them.

OOT: How did you guys picked 'Bosnia & Herzegovina'. I'm fully aware of the 'Lakers Effect', but of all answer, I don't expect 'Bosnia & Herzegovina' will be the sheep.

I remember hearing a lot about "war-torn Bosnia" in the '90s, so maybe it had something to do with that. I didn't think of it at all, though. I'm glad I didn't.

I spent a week thinking I got this one wrong (and was knocked out, thanks to The Merchant of Venice and Kyrgyzstan before it) because I looked at the Kontingen Garuda Wikipedia page after I submitted my answers. Turns out the English page only lists the first 20 deployments, and Sudan was the 22nd. I also spent a week thinking I should have said Rwanda (and Romeo and Juliet for Q2, because the quote about love just had to be from it).

Thanks to this streak of dumb luck, I've gone from knowing I was eliminated to being pretty sure I'm safe, unless something went horribly wrong in the last three questions.

Half of the pack on the poll said they hate this. Half hate the Islam question.

To use an analogy, this is Ultimate Cliffhanger :mrgreen:

Q5. I asked you to name one of ten country with the cheapest Big Mac, back on 1998.

Here's the list

1. The Phillipines ($ 1.08)
2. Indonesia
3. Malaysia
4. China
5. Hungary
6. Thailand
7. Hong Kong
8. Poland
9. Czech Republic
10. South Africa ($ 1.59)

Switzerland had the most expensive BigMac ($ 3.87) The U.S. price was $ 2.56

Interesting--- and here comes your answer

THAILAND – 3 responses 9021amyers (1 wrong -- 1 single) -kebert.xela (1 wrong) -patkav
CHINA – 3 responses immaf -Bamaman ( 1 single) -dnbguy
INDONESIA – 2 responses Ivorian (2 wrong --1 single) -tjconn728
MALAYSIA – Singleton! Magna (1 single)
THE PHILIPPINES – Singleton! whatisbishkek (1 wrong -- 1single)

Wrong Answer:
CAMBODIA – Caboom (1 wrong -- 2 single) -Gamawire (1 wrong)
SOUTH KOREA – econgator (1 wrong)
THE UNITED STATES – BobF (1 wrong)
FREEDONIA – MarkBarrett ( 2 wrong )
VIETNAM – Blue Lion (1 wrong)
USA – oachiaout (1 wrong)
RUSSIA – Woof (3 wrong)
CAMBODIA – dott888 (3 wrong)
VIETNAM – quarterrican (2 wrong)
INDIA – clprez (1 wrong -- 2 single)
SOUTH KOREA – coolcah36 (2 wrong -- 1 single)
BRAZIL – dinghammer (2 wrong --2 single)

Oh dear... somebody flunked..

In fairness to clprez, I asked a question by PM about the meaning of this question and got a clarification making clear that India wasn't going to be counted, so I answered Malaysia instead of India. The clarification wasn't posted, as far as I know. But maybe a wrong answer is in clprez's interest?

That's one way to see it. If you get the question wrong, you'll go up 3 spots. Irony, indeed.

Yep, you're right. I was just looking in the wrong place.

Looking at my upcoming scores, I checked my answers and it looks like I probably should've taken one more wrong answer.

Thanks for looking out for me. It's my first wrong answer, so hopefully it won't disqualify me.

You and me both! Opened the thread and scrolled straight to the bottom, very much expecting myself to have flunked. Nice surprise. Probably won't last - can't remember what I put for the next one at all.

My answer was a guess too, based on the hints and my limited knowledge of Arabic names.

I had looked at a list of Arabic names for Biblical figures about 4 years ago, and the only ones I could remember were Isa, Sulayman, Maryam, and Nuh (Noah). Ibrahim was obvious in retrospect, but I didn't think of him at the time. I'm glad I picked one that was correct, amid all the carnage.

Sigh. If the question had asked for the full name of the element I could have easily provided a correct answer, but asking for the symbol, there were none for which I was 100% certain, and I chose wrong. :x
