Week 4 - Mission 2 - Capitals

[Peyton Manning]

Welcome to your next mission called "Capitals." Emma was voted most wanted to leave the game so she has been sent away and will not participate. Below are links to 12 jigsaw puzzles of the globe with a country/area filled in red. If you can tell me the capital of that country/area, I will add $2,000 to the pot. The catch is, each person has to do a different puzzle and you can't help each other.

Once all the puzzles have been solved correctly, and only then, can you guess the city where Emma has been sent to. If you guess correctly, I will double the prize and you will win $48,000. You have 72 hours. Good Luck!

Such a good mission to mask the mole in a game full of people pretending to be the mole.. I refuse to believe anyone playing's too innate to figure this one out. Too busy, maybe.. hm.

[Peyton Manning]

Personally, I think Emma's in Istanbul, Turkey.

Capital letters of the Capital cities.

Haha I mixed that up.

Here are your answers:

01 (Alyssa) - Tehran, Iran
02 (Colin Farrel)- Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia
03 (Paris) - Riyadh
04
05 (Colin Firth) - Moputo, Mozambique
06
07 (Peyton) - NUUK
08 (Pierce) - Islammabad
09 (Joel) - Santiago
10 (Garth) - Tripoli, Libya
11 (Tina) - Antananarivo
12 (David)

You solved 9 correctly for a total of $18,000. I decided to give you #1 since Alyssa corrected it, and you guys need the money.



The correct answers were:

1 Tehran - Iran
2 Ulan Bator - Mongolia
3 Riyadh – Saudi Arabia
4 Kiev - Ukraine
5 Maputo - Mozambique
6 Episkopi – Akrotiri and Dhekelia
7 Nuuk - Greenland
8 Islamabad - Pakistan
9 Santiago - Chile
10 Tripoli - Libya
11 Antananarivo - Madagascar
12 Nouakchott - Mauritania

Now for part 2, which you guys didn't get to: Guessing where Emma is after solving all 12 puzzles. As you can see, the 12 capitals as read down spell TURKMENISTAN. Since this puzzle was all about capitals, the city where Emma was was ASHGABAT - the capital of Turkmenistan.



Now for Emma's part. Emma was correct. What she posted was what I told her: "Emma, all you have to do is answer what city you are in before your fellow players can. An exemption is at stake!!!"

Emma guessed incorrectly that she was in Istanbul, Turkey.

Had she guessed correctly, she would have had the option of taking an exemption, but it would have come at a price. The price of it would be: the amount you guys had thought you won would have been subtracted from the pot but she would not have been told what the amount was, only that some money might be lost.

Since Emma did not get an exemption, everyone is vulnerable at this week's quiz.
