For the record, Lesotho does have less than 3 million people, but the table I looked at said they had over 3,000 immigrants which made up 0.1% of the population. Bad rounding assumption by me

Nope.

Uranus (/ˈjʊərənəs/ or /jʊˈreɪnəs/; Ancient Greek Οὐρανός, Ouranos [oːranós] meaning "sky" or "heaven") was the primal Greek god personifying the sky. His equivalent in Roman mythology was Caelus.

Barcelona for 1 point in the soccer rivalry question must be a highly-ranked Jordan. Some are more impressive than others. This is one of the impressive ones. I would have thought that many here wouldn't know all that much about Euro soccer rivalries and thus gone this way. I've learned to avoid speculative guesses, but I might have guessed wildly rather than chosen Barcelona.

Having been part of the American soccer club Celtic I had no problem coming up withe the hated Rangers [requisite vomiting here]. How more people would give this reply than Barcelona I will never know. Do more than 2 people here know of a single player who has ever played for Rangers. or know what city they are from, or what religion they represent? I suspect many can name at least 5 or 6 players from the current Barcelona squad.

Could be that Jordan answers should be termed Jordan-Barcelona in the future.

I'm still trying to figure out how Lou Carnesseca was a worse answer for Big East tournament wins than Jim Boheim, John Thompson, and Jim Calhoun. This was in every way far more obscure and easily deserved a one. I am lodging another formal protest.
