I accidentally mislabed the checkpoint #2 instead of #3, so I reposted it with the correct title to avoid confusion. ZiP and Mangafanatic, you need to repost here.

I'll go ahead and list those who still need to check in:
termyt
Sunako

Hmm, Mangafanatic did in the other thread, but I don't know if it counts in the end.

sorry I'm just bored.

Indonesia's largest city is Jakarta, with a population of more than nine million.

And if that one isn't acceptable:
Indonesia's national language is Bahasa Indonesia.

Well, I'll post and let our good and just moderator figure out who post when. Even though Osaka fell for the old post-in-the-wrong-thread trick, I'm sure she'll try to claim victory anyway.

Indonesia has a very impressive 87.9% literacy rate. I think that's significant, especially considering they have a very small portion of the population over the age of 65 (about 5%) - much less then the US.

Facts from your friendly neighborhood Central Intelligence Agency.

so is Mangafanatic out?

Indonesia is composed of roughly 17,00 islands.

I'd just like to humbly submit that I don't think it's fair that I'm out. I posted first in the thread that was about Indonesia. Just my two cents (I would have gotten back on if I thought you were going to do something like this-- but I figured you'd just have a moddie change the title. And for future reference, they can change thread titles.)

After deliberation, I have decided that the only (hopefully) noncontroversial and fair way to resolve this is the following:

1) Whack myself for being so stoopid. :hits_self
2) Whack myself again for not contacting a mod. :hits_self

3) Replay the round as round 4. No one is eliminated.

The round will restart sometime this afternoon.

Oh!! You did not!!! I posted first in the original Indonesia thread! Regardless of title, that is the thread GP originally intended to be thread where answers would be left.

Corrected score:

Termyt 1, Osaka 2.

I can help it you fell for the oldest trick in the book. I waited to post in the correst thread, you should have, too.

Clearly, my post comes before yours in the official thread. Therefore, it is my point.

It's not my fault you judge a thread by its title. Some of us aren't so closed minded, as that.

And it's not my fault you are gullible enough to fall for a rouse like the old fake thread trick.

but it's not really important, anyways just an FYI.

To Dark Angel: Sure you can watch!

To Mangafanatic and Termyt: Go to your respective corners.

*sits in her corner and looks over her shoulder* Fine, but this ain't over.

Hey, you're right ZiP. But second is almost 1st. It's just a little less, but for practical purposes-- It's the same thing. ;)
