In all, 76 nations have played in at least one World Cup.

Isn't this the correct answer for question #1 or you have some other source ... i don't know

[noober]

well, you should have posted this thread in the handicapping contest. i was there and didn't see one so i posted in the 2 pm thread.

[Slainte]

Lou - come on dude, its not 3 in a game, its 3 in a game by ONE player!!

You actually didn't specify correctly by saying 3 goals by one player but this could mean in one or more games

Yeah, no one really specified, congrats on the win

In your link maybe they also count Slovakia: they will play for the 1st time this year

I had this link: http://home.netvigator.com/~andrewshe/wcstatistics.html

[Slainte]

Let Lou and the team decide

[swiss88]

Yes I know but just look for yourself, in your source it says Slovakia in among your 76, which it can't be because they'll be playing for the 1st time!

If so wikipedia are wrong cause Slovakia are due to play they have not played yet, they will.

exactly

Correct, the exact question Peter asked was "How many nations have played in the World Cup" - the answer is 75. If the question was how many nations will play, Slovakia would make the answer 76.

Good detective work.

[SBR Lou]

Yeah, no one really specified, congrats on the win

Good feedback guys, the whole thing is about the spirit of the contest - I think it's clear both of you know what a hat trick is so saying '3 goals in one game' would imply it's not 3 ordinary goals, but 3 goals in the context of a hat trick (by one player).

Hope you both play again next week.

[Jasonal_98]

Wow, the $50 is already in my account. Thanks, SBR!
