Wow Luigi, damn
And Degenkolb, well, I thought that no one remembered that he was second this year so I had to go with Vanmarcke, but luckily it's just 1 point less...

Well I guess Chris Froome shouldn't be a valid answer now that he has been mentioned here. The problem is that I have already received Froome as an answer, but I guess I'll just send a PM and ask for a new rider.
Please do not speculate about any possible answers in the thread, it pretty much ruins the whole game.

1. Name an animal, that lives in Africa
Two good answers here: lion and elephant, 5 and 4 points respectively. Penguin and homo sapiens sapiens were also mentioned.
Spoiler Lion x5
Elephant x4
Homo Sapiens Sapiens x1
Penguin x1
2. Name an African cyclist
There were some issues with this question, but everything went fine in the end. 2013 yellow jersey-wearer Daryl Impey got four points. Interestingly, 17-year old Aidan van Niekerk got mentioned twice.
Spoiler Daryl Impey x4
Louis Meintjes x2
Aidan van Niekerk x2
Isiaka Cisse x1
Merhawi Kudus x1
Janse van Rensburg x1
3. Name an African football player
Two Ivorians got most of the mentions. Yaya Touré gets five points and Didier Drogba 4.
Spoiler Yaya Touré x5
Didier Drogba x4
Yakubu Aiyegbeni x1
Michael Azira x1
4. Name an African country with less than 1 million inhabitants
7 different answers here. Djibouti got four mentions, but more interestingly TheManxMissile and jandal7 both mentioned the same country, Comoros.
Spoiler Djibouti x4
Comoros x2
Cape Verde x1
Equatorial Guinea x1
Seychelles x1
Liberia x1
The Gambia x1
5. Name an African country with more than 1 million inhabitants
Another tight question, Nigeria scores one point more than South Africa. But the funniest thing was, once again, that the two people going for five points answered the same thing. 
Spoiler Nigeria x5
South Africa x4
Burundi x2
No perfect round this time. Marcovdw and trekbmc weren't far away from one though, scoring 21 each. Kritzo comes in third with a score of 20 and SSJ2Luigi and matt17br score 19 each.

Q4 only had ~6/7 answers so roll of the dice on that one. Burundi is always my answer and reference for things, so blame on Jandal for that one

And, when the first real chance of scoring more than Luigi shows up I name MERHAWI KUDUS forgetting about Impey
Also, that was an interesting fail, both jandal and TMM!
I think that naming an user of our forum wouldn't NEVER pay off, it could have even been the most chosen answer, who knows
