Hi! Welcome to RayFowler.org and the “Guess the 150th Country” blog contest! It’s easy, it’s fun, and it costs you nothing to enter. While you are here, feel free to browse the Archives Page to get a feel for the site. If you enjoy your visit, be sure to bookmark the site or subscribe by email or feed reader so that you don’t miss any future posts.
The Contest: I have been keeping track of how many different countries have visited this site since I first started blogging last March. As of today I have had visitors from 149 countries. I ran a similar contest last September when we approached the 100th country mark, so I thought it would be fun to revamp the contest, only this time it is: Guess the 150th country to visit my blog!
The Prize: a $25 Amazon.com Gift Certificate
The Rules:
- Respond with your best guess in the comments section.
- One guess allowed per person.
- The contest closes when the 150th country visits. (One exception: If you are the first visitor from the 150th country, and you are the first person to guess your country, then your guess will be allowed, and you will win!)
- When a visitor from the 150th country visits the blog, I will check the comments on this post to see who named that country first.
- I will notify the winner by email and post the winning entry on the blog.
The Tips:
- Before you guess, be sure to visit the Stats page first to check which countries have already visited.
- Also before you guess, be sure to check the comments other people have already left to see if someone already guessed a particular country.
- When you leave your comment, you may want to place a check in the “Subscribe to Comments” box to track the progress of the contest. (When you check this box, future comments from this post will be emailed to you. You can unsubscribe at any time.)
That’s it! I believe there are only about 40 countries remaining, and I don’t know if they all have internet access, so go ahead and guess while you can. You can find a list of all the countries in the world at the Fun Facts link below.
Fun Facts: How Many Countries In The World?
Now that is a question that’s somewhat difficult to answer, as there is no one right answer. Many sources offer different answers, and depending on the source, there are 189, 191, 192, 193 or 194 independent countries in the world today.
