Morning everyone and Happy New Year from Quizland!
For this quiz, we're going international! Over the next 4 weeks, I'll give you clues to 4 countries from around the world. As usual, you get 5 points if you get the country from Monday's clue, down to 1 point on Friday. I've decided to make the clues all the same:
Monday - Population (to nearest 10 million) Tuesday - Continent Wednesday - Currency Thursday - Flag Friday - Capital City
"But is there a link?" I hear you (possibly) cry. Of course there is! The four countries will form a footballing pattern and as always there are some bonus points up for grabs. HOWEVER, like Sharon Osbourne I've decided it's time to make things a little tighter, so the first person to guess the pattern will get just 5 bonus points, then the next person 4 and so on until there are no bonus points left. I will tell you when you've got the link, but not whether you have any bonus points and, if so, how many, until the very end of the quiz.
As ever, all answers via PM or e-mail to sandbachhatter@hotmail.co.uk please.
This is a nice easy quiz to start off the year so I'm expecting some high scoring entries and most likely a tie-break question at the end!
Ok, bags packed? Off we go....

Time's up! Yes, of course, it's Argentina!
As I said at the outset, a nice easy quiz to start off the year, and that shows in everyone's scores as you all got the answer on either Monday or Tuesday for 5 and 4 points respectively. Can I also thank everyone for taking part, particularly those newbies to the quiz - it's a long time since we've had 12 entrants in Quizland!
Here's the current table:
1= Archie 5 BBLW 5 Calliope 5 County Benno 5 Down Under 5 Gazza 5 Hatter in Macc 5 Sir Roger 5 9= Big Fudge 4 Epworth 4 ifothers 4 Market Harborough 4
It's all to play for as we go into Week 2.
See you all Monday for the first clue!
