Pedantic time for Q4: isn't flat land the same thing as low land? Assuming jihardy was referring to that and not calling Dutch people short!
Orange is actually the obvious answer there really, so interesting it only got 2
To Marco's defence, flat isn't necessary low. There are many flat highlands, and some low, hilly countries (Denmark eg) exist as well.

Limburg and Mollema got me. Pretty good for someone who has never been to Europe though.

Same! I doubt we're going to be offended by the answers quite as much as the Dutch members (until I wrote this anyway; c'mon TMM, I dare you ) but this will be really interesting for me to see how people vote.

There are a few questions I'm looking at and going, I know what I would write, but that isn't the stereotype, so which one should I do.

Round 2 - Australia
1. Name an Australian cyclist
The only Tour winner from Down Under, Cadel Evans, was named eight times, edging out LBL-winner Simon Gerrans (5)
Spoiler 8x Cadel Evans
5x Simon Gerrans
1x Tiffany Cromwell
1x Adam Hansen
1x Richie Porte
1x Alex Wohler
2. Name an animal that lives in Australia
Kangaroos, Kangaroos everywhere. Can't blame you
Spoiler 15x Kangaroo
1x Dropbears
1x Malleefowl
3. Name an Australian actor/actress
X-Men actor Hugh Jackman was the best answer, with 7 points. Gladiator Russell Crowe would give you 4 points
Spoiler 7x Hugh Jackman
4x Russell Crowe
3x Chris Hemsworth
1x Mariah Gale
1x Mel Gibson
1x Barry Otto
4. Name something people associate with Australia (bar animals)
2 points for Aboriginals, Barbecue, Beer, Surfing and the Sydney Opera House.
Spoiler 2x Aboriginals
2x Barbecue
2x Beer
2x Surfing
2x Sydney Opera House
1x Accent
1x Bathurst 1000
1x Boomerang
1x Forest fires
1x Fosters
1x Orange signals
5. Name an Australian state or territory
A close battle between New South Wales and Queensland, 6 and 5 points respectively. MARSUPILAMI made my day for naming Tasmania, whilst I was being very generous to rogvi97, assuming you didn't mean Tanzania
Spoiler 6x New South Wales
5x Queensland
2x South Australia
2x Tasmania
1x Herd and McDonald Islands
1x Norfolk Island
2 perfect rounds this time, beloning to knockout and Selwink. OZrocker and roturn missed it by naming Queensland instead of New South Wales. fjhoekie and TheManxMissile both succeeded in scoring a five-pointer.

2 round victories for knockout puts him in the lead, but he hasn't quite managed to distance from the rest. matt17br is only 4 points behind in third, 2 points ahead of Selwink.
