good try
 
Clutching at Straws is full of place names, I was afraid of that. Try the record prior to that.

Focus - The Bosporus

Planes go flight by flight
(Planes go flight by flight)
Ready for a fight
(Ready for a fight)
Ships pass in the night
(Ships pass)
Through the Bosporus
Marching columns sound
(Marching columns)
Reasons yet unfound
For me for you
For all of us

Rick and Roll 02-09-2004 01:00 PM

whoa!
 
VAX with a half for Toronto!

Keith with another half! Yes the mighty Bosporus. Why is that not on AM????

How are you scoring this Rick?
 
If it's 2 per quezzie and 1 for half right I make that:

K= 6
V= 3

Or is my brain still crapped out?

Rick and Roll 02-09-2004 01:22 PM

You dare challenge the quizzer?
 
I should mark you down, mortal! Oh sorry, I'm back now - to answer your inquiry:

I gave each of you 2 pts for the initial correct guesses. VAX was #3, and yours was #7. Then you get one pt for any other pair of correct guesses (if they were guessed incorrectly at least once). You had #1 and #2.

VAX gets a half for Toronto (#8). I did this to ensure no one "pirates" the whole answer (oops is that a clue?????????).

So, Keith = 2 + 1 +1 = 4 and
VAX - 2 + .5 = 2.5

Left are #'s 4,5,6,8,9,10, and half of #8.

The mathematics may not seem to add up, but it's a MRNR scoring system (modified RicknRoll).

Forgive a mere Mortal..........
 
I'll stab in then with..............

9) Somalia - Port Elizabeth

Holy urban geography! Nice job!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think Jim's going to be unhappy when he finds out what he missed.

I didn't think this would go so fast!!!

I knew that, but...
 
I tried to be cute and make it easier, but I should have realized that Central America is Mexico-Panama.

Technically, all of Central America is in North America. I should have stuck with North America. Anyhow, I'll give you a half too -

it's refreshing to see the British do that too - at the bowling alley they draw tickets and yell that.

You do have a big lead my man. Not insurmountable, but close............................................. ............

Mexico is not considered C.A.

C.A. is not a continent such as N.A. and S.A. but a collective to refer to the 7 countries betwwen Mexico and Columbia.

When you said C.A. I was looking at the C.A. map ad trying to conjure up an ELP reference. Had you said Caribbean would likely have sprung to mind.
