Even with the right answer in front of me (and I think I knew it when it came up in the original game, too, but it wasn't our question), I somehow scored this one as if Ecuador was correct. So, no points on this for anybody. Scores, if there are now no errors: GAME 10 ROUNDS-> 2 3 TOTALS TOPICS-> Geo Lei Dan Blum 20 35 55 Dan Tilque 20 32 52 Pete Gayde 19 32 51 Joshua Kreitzer 24 27 51 Erland Sommarskog 20 28 48 -- Mark Brader | I'm just protesting at it.
