15 was Zaire

I arrived too late

. I knew them all except for the question about the soccer team. I even knew about the All Blacks because of the Haka.

Not Mozambique.
Afraid I don't speak Spanish but I'll take your word for it.

Is he the Jeopardy guy? I've only seen it a few times, is he well known for being harsh?

He's the Jeopardy guy. Every now and then there's a bit of a controversy with spelling on the final question or pronounciation differences in answers and while I know he has a good sense of humour most of the time sometimes he can come off soundy rather snarky.

From what I just read Argentina is Argentina in Spanish and in the country itself.

I was using Swype on a Note 8 when I entered my answer and it offered both Argentina and Argentine, hence I assumed the latter to be the Spanish spelling. Notwithstanding that I think I squeezed enough points out off my answer anyway. I'll be back with some questions once I got some sleep.

I think it was called The Argentine Republic or simply The Argentine - I seem to recall hearing that way back.

Since we are tagged Unutterably Silly, here are some questions in that category.

1. Where was Ludo invented?

2. Where was Chinese checkers invented?

3. Why did the Vichy govt ban rugby?

4. Who designed the Nazi uniforms?

5. Who invented rock/climbing as a sport?

6. What is a renifleur?

7. What do you suffer from when you have Rhinotillexomania?

8. What did George W. Bush discover when he took over the White House?

9. What is the highest temperature recorded in Antartica?

10. What did Aristotle Onassis use as cover for his barstools on his yacht?

7. A sneezing fit?
10. Probably dolphin or whale skin - something environmentally inappropriate like that.

Kumabjorn · 02-08-2014, 12:39 AM

7. Sorry no
10. Ohh, much more inappropriate than what you suggest, but you are certainly in the right vicinity.

pdurrant · 02-08-2014, 03:33 AM

8. All the Ws had been removed from the keyboards? That's the legend, anyway.

pdurrant · 02-08-2014, 03:33 AM

7. Compulsive nose-picking?
