I know what they were asking but the Q seems pretty weak. It says "contains the name of a country".

Anybody ever heard of a country called Japanese? Egyptian? Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?

I suppose the name is contained within the larger word but still seems week.

And I suppose since they never existed to begin with then they wouldn't be able to "no longer exist".

Did you guys catch the fine editing job on today's episode? The first segment with Megan and Patrick was taped after the fifth Play It Forward episode. Meredith wore the same outfit for continuity on the rest of the show.

How do I know this? Ask (or just watch) the audience.

For future reference, Repertaga belonged to Vespucci, Berrio belonged to da Gama, and there have been several ships called Marigold, but I don't know which one they had in mind for this question. And no, I didn't know these until I looked them up.

elwing noticed that they were wearing the same outfits as Friday and also that the audience changed after their appearance. I figure that means they taped the show at the same time. Ruthless editing might have been able to get this all into one show.

I took a guess at this one and was right. At the podiuim, however, I'd have used my 2nd JTQ.
