Mine are usually too hard and there are fewer entrants compared to other RQs. Is it acceptable for me to play these quizzes but to abdicate creating the next RQ to the second-place person if I happen to win? -- Replace "usenet" with "marc" in the e-mail address. |

I certainly appreciate this quiz more than one on movie quotes. But maybe it could have been made easier by giving percentages for all countries, or having fewer possible countries in the list. I mean, I can have some ideas what they export from Costa Rica or Canada, but St Kitts and Nevis is a very white spot on my map. -- Erland Sommarskog, Stockholm, esquel@sommarskog.se |

I think seeing just the top 3-4 exports for each country would have been easier, assuming that it is possible to get this from from the data used. Of course, I didn't check so I don't know if that actually would have been easier. -- _______________________________________________________________________ Dan Blum tool@panix.com "I wouldn't have believed it myself if I hadn't just made it up." |

| Erland Sommarskog <esquel@sommarskog.se>: Sep 11 07:26AM >> - apparel >> - coffee > (they really like coffee!) Yeah, I saw that too. But what is coffee here? The raw beans, or could it also be some roast? Maybe this particular country exports both? I note that you and I had two guesses in common. (And I had one in common with Dan Blum.) -- Erland Sommarskog, Stockholm, esquel@sommarskog.se |
