Hmmmmm………A tough FJ to be sure. Well, my mother picked Mexico so she struck out, and so did I as I couldn’t even hazard a guess.
Happy to see Jeannette getting the final right but still I am glad that Cris prevailed on that runaway after missing out on that DD.
The “What is Brazil?” section above claims that the US is one of the countries whose administrative district is a state. Did I sleep through Washington, D.C. attaining statehood?
jk, it doesn’t say administrative “district” — it says administrative “divisions” called states
vj, I’m talking about this passage in the explanation under “What is Brazil” above. Citing the World Population Reviews website, It says:” there are 14 countries that have administrative divisions called states. In the western hemisphere, they are: (North America) USA, Mexico; and (South America) Brazil.” They list the US as a country that has an administrative division called a state. Washington DC doesn’t fit that, unless, as I said, I was sleeping when it did,
I’m sorry, jk, I just don’t see what is wrong with it. The sentence just says those countries have states, which is true.
Federal districts are not the topic of the sentence. Some of them have a federal district and some don’t.
Very confusing final. Did they mean Northern Hemisphere or Western Hemisphere?
The FJ category stated: “Flags In The Western Hemisphere”.
I don’t know where you saw that, Rick. On the show’s website and on my TV, it said “Our Hemisphere”.
Anyway, part of Brazil is in the western and the northern hemisphere. Another video I looked at earlier said that the star that is above the white band on the flag represents the Brazilian state that is above the equator.
Well excuse me VJ. Yes, the final category did indeed state: “Flags Of Our Hemisphere’, but this was understood to be the Western hemisphere. I mean, the show wasn’t taped in China.
So, in answer to Martha’s specific question, I correctly responded that it was the Western hemisphere.
Rick, I’m not trying to make you look wrong and I’m not going to argue the point with you. The way you wrote that made me think that the clue as shown on TV said “western hemisphere” and I didn’t notice it so I checked it out. That’s all.
