Actually, even though Scotland is not officially listed on the <a href="http://www.rayfowler.org/stats/" rel="nofollow">Stats</a> page, I have had many visits from people in Scotland. All the visits from Scotland, England and Wales are presently gathered together under the United Kingdom. I have considered listing them separately, but this is just the way they show up in my current stats program. Thanks for visiting and commenting! Hi Candy,

You have a good eye! Actually, even though Scotland is not officially listed on the Stats page, I have had many visits from people in Scotland. All the visits from Scotland, England and Wales are presently gathered together under the United Kingdom. I have considered listing them separately, but this is just the way they show up in my current stats program. Thanks for visiting and commenting!

I just checked last night's stats, and the 150th country visited, and no one guessed it! That just doesn't seem right, so instead of closing the contest down, I am making an executive decision to apply all the above and future guesses to the 151st country instead. So, hang in there. You might still be a winner! Oh yes, the 150th country was Laos. Aaaaah! I just checked last night’s stats, and the 150th country visited, and no one guessed it!

The last time I ran this contest in September it only took three days for a new country to visit. Of course, there were a lot more potential new countries then! I just checked the days the most recent countries visited, and it seems to have slowed down to about one new country a week. So hang in there - maybe sometime in the next couple of days?

You might want to guess now while there is still time.
