* Game 10, Round 3 - Geography - Superlatives
Since geography is, at many times, a science of quantifying facts
about the places we live in, it follows that some countries have
"the most" or "the best" of a certain thing. We will name a thing
that a country has (or does) the most of, and you tell us what
country we're talking about.
1. Most elephants.
2. Most individual islands.
3. Produces the most quinoa.
4. Most different species of frogs.
5. Has the highest (most elevated) asphalted road.
6. Owns the northernmost point of land in the world.
7. Most time zones, if overseas territories and dependencies
are included.
8. Most mountainous landscape, meaning that of its land area,
the highest percentage is mountainous.
9. Country with the city of at least 1,000,000 people that is
farthest from any other city of at least 1,000,000 people.
10. Flattest mainland country in the world, meaning that it has
the smallest difference between its highest and lowest points,
and excluding island countries.

on the number.
