OK I think there's been enough time now and the memory of "Top Answers" is quickly fading so let's get this over with

Round Four: Geography & Ting

Question One: Name a Spanish island that is a popular tourist destination
I know the wording of this was a little bit open to interpretation but I think anywhere that was being advertised by big travel reps was fair game, so there were plenty of options. Not many were used, mind...

Spoiler:

Shaun - Alegranza
Ammi - La Gomera
Blurryface - Formentera
Calderyon - La Gomera
Barry - Formentera

Liam- - Lobos Island
Matthew. - La Gomera

montblanc - Tenerife
JerseyWins - Ibiza

4pts - RileyH, Tony Montana, Barry, Blurryface & thisisdanny
3pts - Cherie, Ammi, Calderyon & Matthew.


Question Two: Name a famous London landmark
Again, pretty open to interpretation because it doesn't necessarily have to be a tourist spot, just somewhere quite famous. So I just used the criteria of "if it has a Wikipedia page, it's fair game". Someone was smart enough to use a landmark from days gone by, too.

Spoiler:

Shaun - St. Mary's Hospital
Ammi - Harrods
Blurryface - Dust Heaps
Calderyon - The Shard
Barry - Hyde Park
Liam- - Tower Bridge

RileyH - The Globe
Tony Montana - The Gherkin
montblanc - The Shard
JerseyWins - Tower of London

2pts - Amy Jade, Adam & Ammi
1pt - montblanc & Calderyon


Question Three: Name a tourist attraction in Rome
Once again, pretty vague, but I think most of us felt safer playing it obvious with this one than with the London option

Spoiler:

Shaun - Piazza Navona
Ammi - Piazza Navona
Blurryface - Spanish Steps

Calderyon - Santa Maria Maggiore
Barry - Trevi Fountain (You did answer "Tesco Fountain" but I felt nice and assumed it was an autocorrect )

Amy Jade - Capitoline Hill
Owen19 - Palatine Hill
Adam - Piazza di Spagna
Cherie - Piazza Navona

I guess a pair of you glossed over the word "Europe" here...

Spoiler:

Ammi - Bulgaria
Blurryface - Austria
Calderyon - Finland

Barry - UK (Scotland)

Question Five: Name a Greek island
I dread to think how many eligible answers there were for this, and it was looking like a perfect round until...

Spoiler:

Shaun - Serifos
Ammi - Patmos
Blurryface - Euboea
Calderyon - Paros
Barry - Skopelos
Liam- - Halki

Tony Montana - Paros
montblanc - Kythira
JerseyWins - Santorini

2pts - Calderyon, Mitchell & Tony Montana


Question Six: Name a famous European artist
Again, countless opportunities here and it really should've been a pointless round... but two people shared the same lateral thinking and went for someone incredibly contemporary and (presumably) British.

Spoiler:

Shaun - Philip de László
Ammi - Henri Rousseau
Blurryface - Filippo Lippi
Calderyon - Edvard Munch

montblanc - Andrea del Verrocchio

1pt - Adam & Amy Jade


Question Seven: Name an African country that is a popular tourist destination
In hindsight I should probably have given you a list of valid answers because this was very much "open to interpretation" again, and perhaps one of the "most popular 15" would've been wiser. As it was, though, I had to just pretty much accept any answer as long as it was an African country.

Question Eight: Name one of seven wonders of the Modern World
OK so prior to the chance to edit your answers, some included Mount Everest, some random dam, and the Colossus of Rhodes. After a quick tidy-up, though, there was just one wrong'un left.

Question Eleven: Name a Californian city
Once researching this I was surprised to see just how many there are in California, and how liberal the USA are with deeming a city a city instead of a town. Here're the answers, though, and it seems this was the question not to go obvious with.
