Amazing Race Season 2 - The Finale

Okay, guys, this is what we've been waiting for! The two racers that have risen above the competition to reach this round are: *fanfare*

Mr. Smartypants and Mangafanatic!

Everybody give it up for these two! They have earned it!

THE RULES FOR THE FINALE ROUND ARE:

I am going to post a country. A racer will check in by posting a fact. When that racer does so, the other racer has 24 hours to respond by posting another fact. After the second racer checks in, the first will have 12 hours to respond. You get the idea. With each fact, the time that the other racer has to respond gets halved. (And rounded a bit in some cases.) 6 hours, 3 hours, 1.5 hours, 45 minutes, 22 minutes, 11 minutes, 5 minutes, 2.5 minutes, 1 min, 30 seconds, 15 seconds, 7 seconds, 3 seconds...

If a racer either:

1) Fails to check in with a fact before the time limit expires
2) Checks in an incorrect fact
3) Checks in a fact that has already been posted
4) Can't check in a fact

That racer is eliminated and the other wins. I think that about says it, so without any further ado let's get this finale underway!

*****************

AND THE FINAL CHECKPOINT IS: IRAN!!!

With every smily that fits: :thumbsup: :thumb: :dance: :rock: :jump:

The times and facts have been checked and we have a winner! MR. SMARTYPANTS!!! I'll be PMing you the victory banner that Sam*Ron kindly made for us. And give a hand to Osaka for being the runner up!

Wait a minute! His last fact wasn't a geography fact, was it? Doesn't that violate the rules which is one of the means by which you can be eliminated?

does it have to be a geography fact?

Where is the Paladin when we're all confused!?

I think his fact is valid. It doesn't have to be about geography - I was posting facts about population and literacy. I think politics is in bounds, too. Of course, Godly Paladin is the final judge.

In which case, I would like to offer you my deepest congratulations. Thou hath been a worthy opponent, and I hath done my math wrong on how long I had to post my next fact.

I see that I have to make an MC decision here, or at least clarify. Yes, Mr. Smartypants' facts were legit. Capitals have been used since the beginning of the race, and Presidents have been used as well.
