Spectrum-turbo: Thanks! As for your question GaAristocat answered it over there a few days ago. The answer had a lot of words in it. Big words. Long story short: not a requirement here, but she can still flag you there for what you do here. I think.
RV: Man, I don't know what to tell you. And now the Tag Fairy is editing your posts..... I do know the kids in the Peanuts Comic strip say "Bleah!" a lot.... I am sure you did something bleahworthy... like maybe playing favorites??? hmm???
And on topic: Can we discuss the first riddle? Cause I got the right answer but it got me thinking about governments.... which ones were you counting Dyan? Morroco was the gimme and I felt confident about the UK & Canada but wasn't sure about the rest.... (I really am clueless about governments! My last history class was titled "Wisdom, Reason, Revelation and Doubt" so that is my excuse....)
