7K: Well, I know A & C are Pink Floyd, am so dumb (or whatever) didn't know other 2 were. Should have figured they weren't #1s because I never heard of them. But maybe they were, even though I never heard of them. ATA, anyway.

10K: Good Grief. Words sound more like an African language, which only rules out Cairo. 50/50 & guess Lagos. I think I would have guessed Lagos.

20K: Jobs was famous for only wearing (very expensive, custom made I read somewhere) black T-shirts. No buttons. Contestant didn't even discuss his shirts, at least not on what aired.

I didn't even read Nigeria in the Q. I know Lagos is capitol. Didn't need to examine language of locations at all. Very bad.
