Yesterday stumped a bunch of you... here's the answer (don't kick yourself, LOL).

It's the country of India, but the view is from the north looking south (so you typically never see it like this). The continent of course is Asia.

Today's coming soon.

Weazzle is still in the lead, but it's being cut by others now. Course, he hasn't been able to compete, so he's still putting folks to shame, LOL.

Curbcheck is also moving up quickly... he's in second place. He was the ONLY person to get yesterday's challenge.

I am out this week. I was looking on the wrong side of the earth because I didn't know Pro-net had any thing to do with India, so thats what stumped me on that. I was figuring some where in the US or Canada and I even looked in Scotland because Mac is over there but India never came to mind.
