1) Name two countries with three consecutive letters of the alphabet in their name.
ii) Name two countries which each completely surround two other countries. E.g. if Iowa declared independence then you could say that America surrounds Iowa.
Feel free to post any other trivia questions in this thread.

The first person to answer both the questions correctly will receive a $.01 transfer through Pokerstars.

Good Luck

<font color="white">1. Afghanistan (didn't really have to think long)
2. I don't understand this question, but: China/Russia surround Mongolia. Indian/Chian surround Nepal.

Oh, and I'm a trivia master ... who has a job ... and nothing to do.

It certainly does, but that voids the question. There is no other country besides Italy that completely surrounds two other countries. I assumed he meant South Africa because no other country is close. If the question is unresolved, it will remain unresolved forever.

Well, then the question must be voided. First guy to get a close answer to an invalid question cannot win. What kind of weak contest is that?

I demand the prize for first coming up w/ the correct answer to all answerable parts of the question. At the very least, I demand this contest be declared invalid!!!!

Let's start a flame war over this. The particpants in the latest Manning vs. Brady thread are being much too tame.

I'll start: You're a jerk.

Arg, you are correct. I extend my apologies to El Diablo. PM your details and I will send your prize. PhattBoll will confirm that I honour my commitment. My mistake has proved very costly.

In order to resolve who is the superior trivia master, I challenge El Diablo and Phattboll to post full and correct answers to all four of my "Some more trivia questions" teasers. As an incentive, the winner (only between you two) gets an extra $.03.

The common mistake. Do not pass go. Do not collect $200. The answer is in Judges 16 18. "She made him go to sleep on her lap42 and then called a man in to shave off43 the seven braids of his hair."
