Yeah, it's not on my NatGeo wall map of the world.

Wasn't going to get FJ ever-geography was never my strong point, and I thought it was clumsily worded as well.
I'm more amazed by the wagering in FJ. That. Was. Interesting.

Ended up with Antarctica, counted the letters wrong, concentrated on the dry land vs. non-dry land (ice, iow) part of the clue and thought they were being clever with the phrasing. Oops.
Even if I had managed to get clear of thinking I'd deciphered the clue, I would not have come up with Polynesia. I think of it as a region made of independent island nations and colonies, not a collective entity.
So count me as a FJ whiff. I thought it was one of the hardest FJs in years, FWIW. The rest was pretty accessible. Had several Lach trash answers.

I initially had Antarctica for the same reason until I recounted. Then I settled on Indonesia because of the number of letters and to have something, althought the only thing I was confident on was that it didn't otherwise fit the clue.MollyQMurphy wrote: ↑Wed Jul 03, 2019 1:16 am Ended up with Antarctica, counted the letters wrong, concentrated on the dry land vs. non-dry land (ice, iow) part of the clue and thought they were being clever with the phrasing.

The best thing that Neil Armstrong ever did, was to let us all imagine we were him.

Was stuck on Oceania for FJ. Since it was Canada Day, finally responded " What is Oceania eh"? to get to nine letters.

Add me to those who drifted around non-nine lettered places and ultimately had no clue.

I said Caribbean but I knew it didn't have as much area as the clue asked for. At least it had nine letters.
I'd rather cuddle then have sex. If you're into grammar, you'll understand.
