    Interesting fj clue. This is a common clue, but worded a little different, on the trivia circuit if I’m not mistaken. I definitely remember it from somewhere.

  2. JJ says:

    I thought that picking the right hemisphere/continent was easy, but picking the right country was a bigger challenge. 2/3 correct answers.

  3. JP says:

    I’ve read it a dozen times, and I still don’t know how to parse this question. I’m assuming “its” at the end means “The U.N.’s Headquarters”.

    But what does “hemisphere” mean? Every point on earth is part of an infinite number of hemispheres. If they mean Eastern vs. Western Hemisphere, there are multiple answers, assuming the dividing line is the Prime Meridian (the Andean country plus the country with producing the current Secretary-General).

    If they mean Northern vs. Southern Hemisphere, almost all have come from the Northern, so that wouldn’t make sense either.

    Maybe I’m missing something and need an extra cup of coffee, but I think this is an extraordinarily poorly written clue, especially for a final in the ToC.

      I agree the clue is a mess. I figured they would stand behind it, when more than one eliminates the northern hemisphere. But I plumb forgot about the current guy’s country being part of the western hemisphere.

      Well, we’ll see how it plays out. One thing’s for sure — the show gets a ton of free publicity from mistakes these days.

  4. VJ says:

    Wow, I misread the clue and thought they wanted the guy’s name. I wonder if “who is the guy from (the answer)” would fly under the show’s more lenient stance. 🤣

    I’ll say 3 out of 3 etc.

  5. jk says:

    Not sure how quickly the contestants will be able to scroll through UN Secretaries General in their heads to come up with this Andean nation. I’ll go for 1/3 and hope to keep my 3 day streak alive.
