Those of you who play pub trivia games might already be familiar with the “progressive” lightning, or mystery rounds. These ask players to identify something based on four clues – which start out difficult – then get more easy. Since I am going to presume that anyone who bothers to read these posts has above-average trivia knowledge, so this will start off difficult – then end out only moderately difficult! As a little reward for those of you who read my posts religiously, I may have already given a clue to this question’s answer in a previous post! I do kind of get obsessed with certain trivia subjects from time to time, and this question will certainly be a reflection of that (it’s a sickness, really). Without further ado, your job will be to identify what nation of the world I am based on the following four clues! If you get SUPER stumped and have too much trivia honor to resort to using the google, I will put an additional clue in the comments that SHOULD clinch this for you. Without further ado, go!
- I am a island nation
- Countries that previously claimed me as a territory include The Netherlands and France
- I am the only nation associated with my continent that has Hinduism as a predominant religion
- I was named for a French prince
So…you need another hint? A particular bird went extinct here in the 1600s.
Want another clue? I KNOW YOU DO! I’m so excited I can hardly contain myself…”Some people call me Maurice.”
