It was between that and Seattle for me, yeah. I just can't remember where that space needle is and where, if anywhere, Washington has mountains.

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

But the other one had the space needle so there wasn't really any doubting that one.

[Laughing Lagomorph]

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.

[The Original An Gadaí]

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.

[Exy]

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.
