[Greengoop]

Haha, nice try pirez

[Pirez]

To be honest, I felt entitled to troll because I didn't really understand the question

[Greengoop]

Haha, I’m talking about alphabets, if that’s how you wanna put it, but restrained from calling it that because you could easily consider stuff like French or German to be different alphabets due to their unique characters

Guess again, if you understand it better now!

[PluMGMK]

Hieroglyphs
Phoenician
Hebrew
Arabic
Greek
Etruscan
Latin
Cyrillic
Hiragana
Katakana

When I read the question I thought it would be difficult to come up with ten, but I could actually keep going

[Greengoop]

I can accept all 10 of those!

SCORE:
Daverattlehead: 6
PluMGMK: 3
Hunchman801: 2

The Jonster: 2
Pirez: 1

Question 17: Speaking of alphabets, What country was the final country to abandon their form of Runic alphabet?

[PluMGMK]

Iceland?

[Greengoop]

Sadly not, although that was among the last ones! (Removed the line about your answer in the question, because I didn’t realise the Etruscan alphabet was a Runic one! )

[PluMGMK]

I don't think Etruscan was Runic, although the Runic alphabets were most likely based on it, or a close cousin of it.

[Greengoop]

Yes, runes are likely based off either Greek and Etruscan, or maybe neither, or maybe both!

[Hunchman801]

Latin, Greek, Cyrillic, Glagolitic, Armenian, Georgian, Amharic, Devanagari, Tamil, Hangul... lots more come to mind, but that's ten already.

Edit: looks like I replied to the previous question.

[Greengoop]

Good job listing those languages even though you replied to the wrong question

Feel free to answer the current one as well!

[Hunchman801]

Could it be Norway?

[Greengoop]

It’s nowhere you’d expect, just saying!

[Hunchman801]

That bodes well for our chances to win this point.

[Greengoop]

Well, that only rules out 4 countries, and you’d already guessed 2 of them, so if you wanna guess, it’s a 1 in 191 chance

[The Jonster]

Greenland!

[Hunchman801]

Greenland!

I don't think that one is even part of Goop's list of 195 countries as it's a dependency of Denmark.

[The Jonster]

Oh in that case let’s go with Denmark then?

[Hunchman801]

I think that's one of the obvious ones Good ruled out, but what have you got to lose.
