Re: Hidden countries
10/10, but I made a program to scan all the sentences and compare them with names of countries 
Don't you just love alternate solutions?

Re: Hidden countries
I also got 9/10. All but the last one. Some of them were quite obvious though, because they had words that you wouldn't normally use in sentences, just so that they could hide a country in there.
Why did the vector cross the road?
It wanted to be normal.

Re: Hidden countries
10/10. The last one is a toughie.

Re: Hidden countries
I got 10/10 no help from anyone or anything!
the 2nd one was a bit tricky but I got there in the end, the last one was a bit tough (useless fact: it's the only country that begins with that letter!!!)
what I looked for was unusually word combinations:D

Re: Hidden countries
The one they wrote isn't considered an independent country,but there are others that begin with that letter.

I just looked at a list of all the countries in the world and first that country was listed and second there were no other countries of that letter!

Re: Hidden countries
It is not a real country. It depends on the source.

OK but you still said there were other countries beginning with that letter, yet according to that list I just saw there aren't any? I don't understand.

Re: Hidden countries
Again,it depends on the source. Google for countries that start with that letter. It should be easier.

Re: Hidden countries
I too wasn't sure that "it" was a country or a territory. But I went with country and got it.
I scored 9/10. (Did not get #10)
