The category for Round II is...

Russia

. Please decide who in your pairs will go first.

[Save The Dragons]

Ceph will go first

[Vijarada]

I went first last time...it's only fair that Xalxe goes first.

[Xalxe]

Is it though?

[RedCoyote]

Bill Murray was in Charlie's Angels, too. Though I guess it's neither here nor there.

SC will go first for us unless he says otherwise.

[CuddlyCaucasian]

Yes, but Bill Murray wasn't one of Charlie's Angels, the question specifies that it's just 3 actresses Question will be posted when I get home.

[CuddlyCaucasian]

The date of Russia Day
The Russian host city of the 2014 Winter Olympics

StrangerCoug, what answer will you go for?

[StrangerCoug]

I believe it's white, blue, and red on the Russian flag in that order from top to bottom

[CuddlyCaucasian]

Is that right, and how many people said it?

Spoiler:

62!

They did not need to know the order, but that's still far more than I would have expected.



Xalxe, it's been a tight race so far. What do you have?

[Xalxe]

I know 3 of the other 4 answers, my hope is that the pool doesn't remember the last Winter Games.

Sochi

[CuddlyCaucasian]

How many people said Sochi?

Spoiler:

18!

Well done, no one cares about the winter olympics am I right?

Question	Answer

The largest lake in Russia
The last Soviet Union leader
The lowest point in Russia
The official name for the country

RC and SC, this gives you a little bit of wiggle room. RedCoyote, you need a score of 23 or less for your team to advance.

[CuddlyCaucasian]

how did more people get the flag than putin wtf???

I have no idea

[Vijarada]

who does these surveys

[StrangerCoug]

Damn it, I was debating whether to take the Winter Olympics one or not... I decided against it because it's... you know, the most recent winter Olympics

[Cheery Dog]

I assume they wanted his full name, and half the group had a blank after putting

[Save The Dragons]
