Groups of Eight Quiz #2

What about Greenland?

What about Ivory Coast?

What about England?

Neither Greenland or England are soverign states in their own rights, Greenland is a territory of Denmark and England is a territory of the United Kingdom, hence why they don't count. And as RodneyTrotter so eloquently pointed out, the official English name as registered with the UN for Ivory Coast is actually Cote d'Ivoire.

Holland ?

Yeah, I agree about Holland (or the Netherlands), since both names end in 'land'

Are we now allowing offensive name-calling on this site?

Wow that's embarrassing, I forgot Israel... and I'm Israeli!

LOL@Kenny!/Good one, Quizmaster./I agree: No name-calling on these comments pages.

Agree with knecht56. Rodney's comment should be deleted.

is "one's" not a possessive pronoun?

I love these type of quizzes, but there are always one or two that stump me. This time it was Texas teams and Boxing. Not to mention I still can't spell Czechoslovakia.

yikes missed Switzerland.

only Texas pro team I missed were the Spurs...

Don't really care about hockey, so I missed that one, but got the rest of the sports teams. I'm embarrassed I didn't get New Zealand, but got Swaziland.

I thought 'one's' was a possessive pronoun too, never would have thought of 'whose'

Really surprised that more people get Swaziland and New Zealand than Switzerland.

I agree. I put one's in. I would have never geussed whose. Also, I put in both Netherlands and Holland, and neither of them work. Considering they both end in -Land, shouldent they be accepted?

the country's official name is the netherlands which ends in 'lands' whereas the question says to list countries that end in 'land' therefore the netherlands cannot be a correct answer.

What about Ivory Coast for I countries?

Holland is NOT a country. Holland is a region in the western Netherlands. It's like saying the United States could also be called Florida.

Ivory Coast? I think you should use 8 "e" countries instead. East Timor, Ecuador, Egypt, El Salvador, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Estonia, Ethiopia.

Kept putting "Zachary Tyler", which is my boyfriend's name, hahah. I knew it was something similar! I feel dumb!

The official name of the country in all languages is Côte d'Ivoire, which doesn't begin with and "i".

You forgot about FC Dallas and Houston Dynamo under Texas Pro Sports Teams

england? scotland? ireland? they're countries you know.

england and scotland are part of the UK. and ireland is an answer.

Forgot Italy...wow

Isn't Their's a possessive pronoun?
