It makes more sense economically for Americans to go to 4 of theses places than the other one.

East Timor because the others were discovered by the Spanairds and East Timor was Portuguese.

That may be true, but I'm thinking about money...

At first I'd thought that maybe most of their currencies were pegged to the US Dollar... Then I started investigating and discovered that, lo, all except the Philippines actually USE the US Dollar as their currency.

You got it!
I was really surprised to find out that East Timor used USD. __________________________ "Suppose you're thinkin' about a plate o' shrimp. Suddenly someone'll say, like, plate, or shrimp, or plate o' shrimp out of the blue, no explanation. No point in lookin' for one, either." |

Good question that!
Okay... Which is the odd one out: a. Austria b. Mongolia c. Ethiopia d. Bolivia e. Pakistan This shouldn't be toooo tough I don't think _____________________________ Check out my New Travel 'Blog Over four years of worldwide wanderings (and counting!) |

How about Pakistan? It's the only one with a nuclear arsenal, and that ends in a consonant.

Pakistan derives from an acronym?

Hmm... Not sure how this works according to the rules.
Pakistan is, indeed, the odd one out, but I wasn't thinking of those reasons. I was looking for something a bit more geographical... _____________________________ Check out my New Travel 'Blog Over four years of worldwide wanderings (and counting!) |

Looks like the other four are landlocked. This game could be tricky in this form, but I like it so far.

Pakistan's the only one with a coast, eh?

It's the only one that isn't landlocked?

Well done rawjer!
The next hint was going to be that 20 years ago (before Eritrea became independent of Ethiopia) Pakistan wouldn't have been alone in this respect. _____________________________ Check out my New Travel 'Blog Over four years of worldwide wanderings (and counting!) |

It's kind of like WITP w/o the pictures, but with the need for ESP! __________________________ "Suppose you're thinkin' about a plate o' shrimp. Suddenly someone'll say, like, plate, or shrimp, or plate o' shrimp out of the blue, no explanation. No point in lookin' for one, either." |

Thanks, oswiu.
That was nearly a dead heat. I don't have one right now, but I'll think of one for another round in a bit. Haci, have you got one for us? |

Okay, what's the odd one out and why?
a. Myanmar b. Sri Lanka c. Nepal d. Cambodia e. Iran __________________________ "Suppose you're thinkin' about a plate o' shrimp. Suddenly someone'll say, like, plate, or shrimp, or plate o' shrimp out of the blue, no explanation. No point in lookin' for one, either." |

Where'd everyone go? My first guess was Nepal as it's the only one that didn't have an official name change during the 20th Century, I think?

Well done, rawjer! That's exactly what I was looking for.
I don't know where everyone's gone -- might have something to do with V-Day? __________________________ "Suppose you're thinkin' about a plate o' shrimp. Suddenly someone'll say, like, plate, or shrimp, or plate o' shrimp out of the blue, no explanation. No point in lookin' for one, either." |

Thanks, Haci. That felt like a shot in the dark.
I think I'll be able to come up with loads of questions for this game just in idle thought, but here's a hastily assembled one for now: Which of these cities doesn't belong according to what I have in mind? a. Seoul b. Taipei c. Hong Kong d. Kuala Lumpur e. Shanghai |
