I got 30/40. Can't believe I missed #7, 25, and 28. I almost missed #2 as well!

I can't believe #2 was actually #2. It must be the pervy old man capital of the world!

How did Toronto make the top 15?

Is it just sports fans from other parts of the world engaging in schadenfreude tourism or something?

I'm slightly embarrassed I got 27 and I did miss #2! Odd because "man who goes through airport turnstile sideways...going to Bang-kok" is one of my favourite bad pun jokes.

My palmface misses are 2, 13, 16. I'm surprised Cancun is on the list. And who would get Benidorm? I guess that must be where all the English go for their getaways.

Here's one that I created which most of you should do well on: Calgary Flames Goaltenders
23/26 Can't believe I missed Roloson! Also missed Boucher and Guenette. Should have got Boucher.

I strained for all 18 minutes and could only come up with 35/195.
Pretty stupid, though. England doesn't work, nor does Britain. Needs to be United Kingdom. Holland's no good, has to be Netherlands.

Lame.

36/42. I think I only missed European-only brands: Alfa Romeo, Citroën, Fiat, Holden, Opel, Vauxhall


There were a few non-American brands I got because they're commonplace in Mexico and I was just there: Daewoo, Peugeot, Renault, Seat
