It not have been in order, but Cris ran TOYING WITH YOU and Ken acknowledged it.

Jacqueline saved the day on getting the movie with Michael, Gertie and Elliott as for a second it looked like it would go TS.

Cris cruised to another lock with +12500 on DDs when it could have been even more if he needed it. It was the fourth wager for 15221 that nailed Cris in not figuring out the country in time.

It was a miss for me also as I started with Mongolia for first Asian landlocked to occur to me. After that I tried to figure out the letter play in thinking it could perhaps be a S-T-U that comes up in crossword puzzles a lot. From there I went a step back to R-S-T.

Oh, it's probably a Stan! Did I go alphabetical? Nope, I was still playing the letter angle and tried to make Kyrgyzstan work, but had to remember how to spell it first. As time was up I tried to Sporcle recall landlockers and only got to Armenia.

After Ken went to Jacqueline and before he went to Sean I finally solved it. Too late to count, but at least I did it in under a minute. Good old geography brainbusters-- 0/3 on the show and 0/1 at home. It's happened before and it will happen again.

But if it could take a hijke it'd have 4 consecutive letters in alphabetical order.

Got it playing from the board. Not 100% sure I'd get it written down in time. Ran through 3 letter sets rather than landlocked countries, and got there quickly enough.

betting: :D :( (Guggenheim) :D :oops: this was painful.
I found Mark's strategy of going for the stans right away, couldn't find it.
Tried to shoehorn Uzbekrstan. Correct response was there, just didn't see it.

Had to stop myself from saying Log instead of Slinky.

Got to -stans, tried coming up with one that's *rstan, convinced myself there's not one, but too late to think of anything else.
Oh, what has science wrought? I sought only to turn a man into a metal-encased juggernaut of destruction powered by the unknown properties of a mysterious living crystal. How could this have all gone wrong?

I hate wordplay FJs. I decided it was a -stan about halfway through but couldn't come up with an -rstan. Probably because it doesn't exist.

Same, and good thing too, because Log "-rolls- down stairs, alone or in pairs." :mrgreen:

Not a classic Simpsons fan I see...

And as a bonus, a couple jokes I didn't get when I was 12: the Bob Woodward author credit, "A Castrato Christmas"

Same, but similarly, wasn't a fan. Admittedly, all you have to do is start at the top...it's not one of those tucked in the middle countries...but still
The best thing that Neil Armstrong ever did, was to let us all imagine we were him.

Afghanistan's fgh is also three consecutive letters on a row of a standard US keyboard. There are two African countries whose names also contain keyboard sequences of three letters, one's going from left to right and the other's from right to left.
