Did anyone else think the South America matching question was utter bullshit? For those who did not play, it was, "Match the South American country to one it borders:" The choices were Brazil, Argentina, Paraguay, Venezuela, Guyana, Columbia, Uruguay and Ecuador. While I do not remember which countries were in which column, I believe it was impossible to answer even by process of elimination, i.e., Ecuador had to be Columbia, so Columbia wasn't Brazil or Venezuela. Even if that were the case, I'd still call it a bullshit question. Did the question writer actually look at a map of the whole continent?
I don't remember the exact selection, but I played at Adams Mill, and our group aced that question. Brazil was next to Uruguay, and the rest of the choices fell more easily into place. I still agree that it wasn't the best of questions.
So I am recalling the matches as Uruguay-Brazil, Argentina-Paraguay, Ecuador-Colombia, and Venezuela-Guyana, in no particular order.
