me doing alright in that round

Babayaro. · 18-09-2017, 06:23 PM

A poor performance

Lostie! · 18-09-2017, 06:28 PM

(belated round 2 reaction) Hate to be That Guy but isn't Man in the High Castle more of a dystopian past?

But in the interests of fair I think my answer might have been wrong too, I didn't bother making sure at the time

Wizard. · 18-09-2017, 06:33 PM

I was doing amazing until those two wrong answers, I will be finding evidence to dispute this after dinner

That's a fair point - The Prisoner does seem to be set in a nondescript time though and is certainly a Dystopian series that I'd allow as a correct answer. The Man in the High Castle... I get your point but at the same time it'd be a Dystopian future from the point of the outcome of World War 2, so I'm unsure

Arizona and New Mexico are geographically in the southern part of the country

And the ocean question

Quote:

The World Ocean or global ocean (colloquially the sea or the ocean) is the interconnected system of Earth's oceanic waters, and comprises the bulk of the hydrosphere, covering almost 71% of Earth's surface, with a total volume of 1,332,000,000 cubic kilometres (320,000,000 cu mi)

There is one ocean, consisting of 5 oceanic waters.
