TRIVIA QUESTION #10
Name this state...

Hint: No Gator fans here.

No correct answers so far.

Look at the hint again...
"No Gator fans here"

Who are the Gators? Who is their biggest rival?

I get the feeling these hints are just obvious to me because I already know the answer.

Correct Answer for #10: Georgia

Yes, the University of Florida does have a pretty intense in-state rivalry with Florida State. But it's nowhere close to as old, storied, and intense as their rivalry with the University of Georgia Bulldogs.

Let me just say that in looking for answers on Hostrauser's trivia, I've found some really amazing pictures from places I would have never imagined. It's been really great for my interest in seeing places.

Indeed, I too have found numerous wonderful locales I never even would have thought of. That's why I feel I can continue to run this game for quite a while without running out of material.

Try googling for "Lake Shavlo, Russia" and "Tien Shan, Kyrgyzstan." Two amazing locations that are not part of this round of trivia.

Correct Answer for #11: Vietnam

Most of you correctly identified Ha Long Bay.

I was hoping the "Tomorrow Never Dies" clue wouldn't trip up many of you: while certain film scenes are supposed to be taking place in Vietnam, they were actually filmed in Thailand.

when will we know the actual numbers?

Hostrauser · Post by **Hostrauser** » Wed Feb 13, 2008 4:18 pm

At the end of the game. Unless there's an overwhelming desire to see them right now. Anyone else want the scores?

TRIVIA QUESTION #13
Name this Asian country...

Hint: I know dictators are supposed to be vainglorious and all, but dude overdid it with the statues of himself.

Doesn't matter to me ... but if we need equalizer questions then I'm ok with it, just FYI.
