Friday Geo Quiz (July 2010 Only)




Well, we're tired kids.

But, we thought we'd post this entry for ninth grade students at William Byrd High School in Vinton, Va., near Roanoke, where my mother reportedly taught in 1968 (two years before I was born).

We are focusing on countries who have played in the current World Cup in South Africa with special geography quiz entries through the month of July. Ok, so we should have come up with it last month as The World Cup got away....

Anyway, here is our question. If you get it right, I may have to send you this Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle action figure that I got at an estate sale in Floyd, Va., which is sitting next to the computer, this past fall except for the fact that I've become quite attached to it!:

"What is the capital of Cameroon?" If it helps, an image of this particular city is pictured above:


A) Yaounde
B) Accra
C) Abijan
D) Abuja


For those of you who may have actually flunked geography, Cameroon is central Africa. They actually speak French over there- zut alors!
