How Good Is Your Geographic? [5]

I reckon Chad has 6 countries bordering it, it might be 7 depending on the Sudan / South Sudan Border. Congo (Zaire as was) doesn't qualify as it doesn't have a land border with Tanzania. But I have found an 8.

It's difficult when they keep changing the map.

Maybe Serbia? Since Yugo split into 6 it automatically has 5/6 borders

I hadn't thought of Serbia. It has 8 countries around it: Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, Macedonia, Kosovo, Montenegro, Bosnia-Herzegovena and Croatia.

But there's another one in Central or Eastern Europe

[Rollo]

I have an 8.

Brazil has 10 neighbours

1. French Guiana
2. Suriname
3. Guyana
4. Venezuela
5. Colombia
6. Peru
7. Bolivia
8. Paraguay
9. Argentina
10. Uruguay

8 of those border two other countries with border Brazil.

Russia borders 12 countries but far fewer of them have neighbours which also neighbour Russia because someone put lakes and seas in the way.

[D-Type]

But French Guiana and Uruguay only border one plus Brazil so this doesn't count.

Whoops! I've just realised that my other 8 is invalid.
I was thinking of Austria which borders
1. Germany
2. Czech Republic
3. Slovakia
4. Hungary
5. Slovenia
6. Italy
7. Switzerland
8. Liechenstein.

But Liechenstein only has two neighbours: Austria and Switzerland.

So, I reckon Storm wins with Serbia and its 8 neighbours.

I don't have a question though!

That's the problem isn't it - finding a question that is challenging but not impossible to answer

[Rollo]

But French Guiana and Uruguay only border one plus Brazil so this doesn't count.

Those two are on the outside of 10; which means that the answer is the middle eight.

There was an all in the question.

Edit: Actually it was "each" not "all"

As Storm can't think of a question, I don't see any reason why you shouldn't post one. Rollo
