| Marc Dashevsky <usenet@MarcDashevsky.com>: Sep 20 01:43AM -0500 Rotating Quiz #196 is over and Stephen Perry is the winner with four correct answers in this obscure quiz.

(I see now that South America > would have been a better choice.) Possibly, because it would not have given an unfair advantage to the contestants who live in North America. But I think North America would have been fine, if you had confined it to the continental states, or at least left out the smaller island states. I hardly know where St. Vincent and the Grenadines is - so how would I know that they export tennis racquets? Anyway, despite the very high level of difficulty it was a fun quiz! -- Erland Sommarskog, Stockholm, esquel@sommarskog.se |
