I'll agree with you that "which of these things is NOT like the other" tends to be Google proof (not to mention a neat little Sesame Street jingle). Still, your question two has at least three pretty substantial errors that I can see, starting with the fact that you mean Star Trek, not Star Wars.

I'd also quibble with your use of the word "starred."

I'm just kinda shaking my head sadly at the whole thing, and wondering if Harvey or Chartier got through again...

[/quote] You're right on that one; starred is not a good word at all

I doubt most viewers could point out more than one of those on a map, and there's really nothing to reason out, so again you get the contestant stuck with a random guess while the audience gets gored.

I disagree (especially about the "gored" thing). I think this is a great one, because most everybody has heard of these countries in the context of them being among the world's smallest, so it's interesting to wonder which of them is bigger.

My instinct is to say Lichtenstein, because I think of it as being the smallest regular-sized country and I think of the others as being preposterously small postage-stamp countries. If I'm right, then the question is probably too easy...

D. IIRC, Andorra is the only one of those countries whose area is above 100 square miles.

This is a fair question for the $50,000 or $100,000 level. Most people probably haven't heard of the last three countries.

Can I get a REAL answer, please?

(You are wrong, anyway...any other history buffs out there know the answer?)

If it's not senator, I'd say Congressman. I know he died on the job at a big hearing.
