Maarten	posted 6-Apr-2003 4:43pm 1. Alaska 2. Washington DC 3. New Orleans 4. Russia 5. Colombia 6. Maracaibo 7. Mexico 8. Brazil
Enheduanna	posted 6-Apr-2003 6:21pm The first one has to be Alaska, because it's the only US state listed here. So 2 and 3 have to be Washington, DC and New Orleans. I'm guessing that 4 is Maracaibo, Venezuela, because most of the remaining options, all for the last question, are countries, not cities. I think Mexico is the kidnapping capital, and I'm guessing Colombia is next, with Russia and Brazil tied for third, but it's just a guess.

LindaH	posted 7-Apr-2003 12:55am I just looked at the TV guide. Someone's been watching the travel channel.

pterodactyl	posted 7-Apr-2003 4:20am This is poorly constructed. It's obvious what 1, 2, and 3 are, because you've only included one US state and two US cities in your list.
Dino	posted 7-Apr-2003 4:40am Washington I believe is the murder capital. Sorry to be a pain but I don't really like these kooky ratings surveys.
MssAmericat	posted 7-Apr-2003 7:28am Oh man I just hate anything like tests!...my mind goes blank....can I just say the most dangerous place is my mind??!
ROCKMAN	posted 7-Apr-2003 8:10am 1. Alaska 2. Washington, DC 3. New Orleans 4. Columbia 5. Mar. Ven. 6. Mexico 7. Brazil 8. Russia ??????????????????
Lahdee	posted 7-Apr-2003 10:55am Alaska-accidental deaths, New Orleans and Washington D.C.-murder capitals, I'm going to guess for car jackings-Maracaibo (??) and for kidnappings-Columbia, then Mexico, Russia and Brazil tying. I'm probably way off. Just guessing on those.
Lex	posted 7-Apr-2003 11:37am 85 accidental deaths per 1,000 per year??? putting it another way, a twelth of the population dies each year in an accident. I'm pretty sure thats wrong.

southernyankee	posted 7-Apr-2003 6:13pm 1) alaska, hey dummies, its the only state listed here. / slap on the forhead/ new orleans and dc. yep, i live in muder capital of the US. 4) seems like either Russia or Mexico. and the rest are just kidnaping. i dont really follow kidnapping cases, and i dont really consider that a threat, specially since the person doesnt always die and they are so rare.
Lex	(reply to TylersMamma) posted 8-Apr-2003 4:15am The page you selected has it wrong. It should be 85 per 100,000. (do a google search for some other death rate figures)
Lahdee	posted 8-Apr-2003 10:03am I got it right-yay me!
TylersMamma	(reply to Lex) posted 8-Apr-2003 12:50pm Oops... I didnt know that... Too bad you didnt say anything in Qual... I would have changed it
LindaH	posted 8-Apr-2003 9:45pm Well, I know at least one of the most dangerous places is in the path of me and the coffee pot in the morning.
