Correct on the country.

Hispanola?

Well, I guess that is close enough. The correct spelling is Hispaniola.

I guess between my answer and hfarenheit we got it ;)

What is the largest country without political divisions
(such as states or provinces)?

Absolutely no idea. X probably knows though, he knows everything. :rolleyes::cool:

Wild guess, Borneo

China I would think

How about Greenland? I had to verify it was a country, but that's all.

no, not part of the Rockies. It's quite well known, for those that know mountains. But not Everest either.

Antartica

OK, that's close enough. It starts with the letter A and had 4 syllables. It's Annapurna actually, tenth highest in the world. I just figured you'd know it Scrap, being a climber.

It's supposed to be the most dangerous of the big mountains, with 4 people dead for every 10 to reach the summit.
