The Rio de Janeiro we all know and love is in Brazil and is certainly noth of the other two, but where is the Rio de Janeiro in Argentina? I don't know, and having travelled in Argentina quite a bit, I knew quite a few place names there. But I take my chances and go with Rio de Janeiro, Argentina anyway. > 5.

Cape Town, South Africa; Rio de Janeiro, Argentina; Sydney, Australia. Oh sheesh. Obviously I meant Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Sorry about that, everyone. If you were actually misled, feel free to post another answer as a followup to this correction, whether you have seen answers posted in the original thread or not. I will not extend the time period for entering, though. -- Mark Brader, Toronto | "However, 0.02283% failure might be better than 50% msb@vex.net | failure, depending on your needs." --Norman Diamond |
