Trivia Question.

[stuey]

The 2015 Pan-Am Games are being held next month in the Toronto area (Not that I'm at all interested in them.). Participants come from North, Central, and South America. How many countries do you think are going to be involved? To those interested, before you Google it, make a guess...I couldn't believe it when someone first told me the number.

Scorpiojo was the closet. I really didn't believe the person who told me the number, so I Googled it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2015_Pan_American_Games#Participating_nations
I didn't realize there were so many countries in the region.

[Mamyalynne]

Scorpio is competing as her own team, so she was right really.

[stuey]

Good point, mamy:)

[scorpiojo]

Lol...I thought 42 was the answer to everything ;o)

[stuey]

OK, scorpiojo, let's see if that is really true: multiply a fathom by the number of days in a week.

Is Iceland in? How about the Falklands?

No, DTC, neither are the Netherland Antilles. See the link above to view the countries.

As an aside, I've been to 12 of them.
