Geography by Picture - A

I love the Scotland one! I wonder if it'd make it easier to say it's the pattern too? Especially in socks.

Amazed the percentage of people who got that one is as high as it is. As a Brit I struggled with it.

Um....we do.

I live in Angus, Scotland so that was my first guess. Then Aberdeenshire before finally noticing the pattern

Wasn't expecting to have to draw on knowledge of Spanish Regions... Missed that one...

It could be a case of guessing Scottish things starting with A? I guessed Ayrshire then Argyle

I knew because of Sheldon Cooper's argyll socks.

A did not stand for Aberdeen. No.....

Yeah same... 'What Does The Sock Say?' :D

I knew the fabric/pattern. Wasn't aware there was a county by the same name. Only other time I recall hearing the name was when applied to William Wallace's uncle in the movie Braveheart.

It's not the fabric so much as the socks - cliche footwear for all nerds and geeks. In the US we also see it spelled as argyle.

I'm shocked at the realization that the Colorado Grand Canyon is not in Colorado.

It's not called the "Colorado Grand Canyon"; it's just the "Grand Canyon" that happens to have been formed by the Colorado River running through it.

Not sure what the Colorado Grand Canyon is... but I've been to the Grand Canyon, which is spread out between Arizona, Nevada, and Utah, but mostly in Arizona, and definitely not in Colorado.

I've been to the Black Canyon of the Gunnison in Colorado which sometimes is called the "Mini Grand Canyon". I've also been to Waimea Canyon on the Hawaiian isle of Kaua'i, which is also called the Grand Canyon of the Pacific - but the Grand Canyon in Arizona is the granddaddy of them all.

Dont leave the walrus wandering ;)

I didn't even notice the Amsterdam picture I was too focused on why Agryll wasn't being accepted until I realized I spelled it wrong. Also can you accept Ankor Wat for Angkor Wat?

Agreed, wat's the matter with 'ankor'?

I couldn't think of any Asian mountains beginning with a, but I had plenty of time left so I just started typing aa, ab, ac, etc hoping something would remind me. When I got to ar the light came on in my brain and it was shining on Noah's ark perched on top of Mt. Ararat (I always think of Harold Reid of the Statler Brothers making it sound more like Mt. "Arararat" when singing "Noah Found Grace".)

I wasted so much time typing "acropolis" before reading the caption, but did I learn my lesson for the very next one? Nope. "Ayers." "Ayers Rock." Hmmm. "Aeres Rock?" D'oh.

I knew Andalucia, but kept trying Andaluzia, cause that's how we say it in Portuguese. Damn it.

I didn't see two of the pictures (Australia and Arlington) but guessed then anyway!

albania sucks indeed,change my mind

Did anyone else not see city for Athens and then tried Acropolis, Athena, and Artemis?
