1. Cape Horn.
ReplyDelete2. I thought she was from Spain, but I'll guess Colombia.
3. Sportsball??? Since you gave no options I can't even guess!
4. Peru.
5. Capybara; I've seen photos before.
6. Argentina.
7. Rio.
8. Machu Picchu
9.140 million is my guess.
10. I can't even guess ...
How did I do this time? Crappy!! 💩 I only got half of them correct.
ReplyDelete8 out of 10 correct! I surprised myself! I just bought a Messi jersey for my grandson for Christmas! :)
ReplyDelete8 out of 10. Huzzah!
ReplyDeleteI got 6/10 but 3 of them were just lucky guesses.
ReplyDeleteSame as Ellen, 8 out of 10. I am not into football so didn't know the face of the man, although even I have heard of Lionel Messi. The second question I couldn't answer was the number of people who live in South America. I am not very good with numbers.
ReplyDeleteMacchu Picchu is a place I would love to visit, but just like Angkor Vat, it is just too far away and would require a long-distance flight, which I really do not want.
Only 5 for me this time.
ReplyDelete6 this time.....and several of those were guesses!
ReplyDelete3/7 (Cape Horn, Machu Picchu, Peru) The rest were all guesses, and alas I picked the wrong answer with all of them!! (Only admitting this to cheer up those who felt discouraged by "only" getting 5 or 6...) ;-)
ReplyDelete40%, oh well.
ReplyDelete5/10 this time. Not a continent I know much about, possibly because it's the only one I haven't visited!
ReplyDelete9 out of 10 - got the total population incorrect.
ReplyDeleteI don't believe it. 9/10, missed 3.
ReplyDeleteI only got seven this time. I don't know Shakira from Adam, and I didn't know Messi, and I had no clue about the population (though I probably could have figured it out if I'd thought about it more). I laughed at "Pikachu." :)
ReplyDeleteI must be slipping. I answer only 4 of the 10 correctly and didn’t even hazard a guess on some of the others. I feel like a numbskull. It is a new feeling for me.
Delete4, only 4 - oh, the shame. My second granddaughter is called Shakira.
