I'd love to see something like this come back, with less opportunities for a bot to force competitive advantages.

Why are there no new pictures and clues? Did you decide not to continue?  Huh

Terribly sidetracked at the moment, coupled with the development of a bot to gain a competitive edge.

Is #9 Syria?

Either way, check out Syria Jordan really fast, zoom in, and see what I've been sifting through for the past 10 minutes.  

I think I have accomplished 2 things:  wasting time, and getting frustrated with Syria's geography   Grin

Edit:  Amazingly cool fractal geography on a large scale, though.

Edit 2:  Nevermind, haha.  I realized I had scrolled down past Syria (had my tags turned off in Google Maps) and was looking in the Jordan area.

Found #8!!  Cheesy

http://maps.google.com/maps?q=andorra&hl=en&ll=42.447275,1.705284&spn=0.071821,0.169086&sll=44.118316,-123.186394&sspn=0.008734,0.021136&vpsrc=6&hnear=Andorra&t=h&z=13

Can send the reward to my firstbits, 18tkn.

Thanks for doing this contest, it's really a lot of fun.

Amazing that some guy would have a contest without attaching a product or service to it, with the exception of bringing awareness to Bitcoin100, that is.

Nice find, SgtSpike. Now you'll have to wait 60 days before playing again since you're the first two-time winner.  Grin (only kidding)

The time stamp for WTHAI? 8 was December 31, 2011, 08:41:31 PM, and your posting time was Today at 10:36:53 PM, therefore I owe you 3 BTC. How does it feel to have something owed to you?  Grin I'm sending the coins as soon I post this post by clicking the post button...I'm almost ready to click it...BRB! Somebody's at the door...Back! Ready to almost click that post button...Click!...I think it's broken...I'm stuck on this page, and I want to get off so badly to pay you.

I'm no good with the clues given!  The first one was easy because it was so narrowed-down.  I fear I'm not even close with any of the others though...

You should at least have the countries for 2, 3 and 5, with 6 not that far behind. 7 is not that bad, and will get easier. 8 is a little tougher.
