did i miss a question???
I am pretty sure that's Vatican City.
Due to the fact I'm going away and dunno if I'll have access to a computer until Thursday morning I think it best to postpone the next round until Thursday. I hope that's okay with everyone. I hope ye don't forget we're still playing. We'll hopefully have proceedings concluded by Sunday then. Thanks and apologies for the delay.
To clarify Round 6's wrong/unanswered questions become open to other posters at 10pm (GMT) on Tuesday. Round 7 will be posted at 10pm (GMT) on Thursday.

Yeah, I could believe Vancouver, too. It just looked pacific northwest. I guess we'll find out when he posts the answers.Quote:

An Gadaí I've missed the first several rounds of this (real life got busy) and probably won't be able to participate in the rest so if it is easier not to post questions intended for me then feel free to do so.
Laughing Lagomorph, it's a pity you missed the rounds but if you want to continue participating I'll post questions anyway. It is up to you. It's only a bit of fun anyway.
Hey, Aggie, could you do me a favor? It'd be nice to see the answers to a full day's questions all together in a list once the runoff day is over. I know I could probably figure them out by digging through your responses to people's runoff guesses but that's harder.
That's just assuming it's not any more trouble; I'm guessing you probably have lists in question/answer format.
I started an answers thread and will update it tomorrow. As I said in chat these festivities have interrupted the flow of things!Quote:
