We have a winner. See UPDATE at the bottom of this post.

New Contest: 10 Countries I have NOT visited, one is a lie

I have visited many countries in all the continents, except Antarctica.
But there are many countries I have not visited (yet).

Here a list of 10 countries: 9 of them I have NOT visited, one I have visited

• Algeria
• Paraguay
• Japan
• Bulgaria
• Nigeria
• Bahamas
• Egypt
• Russia
• Lebanon
• Thailand

To win this contest, you need to reply with a comment with only two lines before Sunday, January 21^st 2018, 12 Noon (Pacific time).

• First line: one word, the name of the country I have visited
• Second line: one number, the amount of dollars shown as the reward for tis post on Tuesday, January 23^rd 2018, 12 Noon (Pacific time).

A valid entry comment cannot have more than these two lines.

Only one entry reply per person and no update. Anybody that sends several entry replies or updates their entry reply will be disqualified.

So, think carefully before answering: you have almost three days, there is no advantage to reply early. In fact it is better to reply during the last few hours, as the reward amount does not change much after 3 days, except when the price of Steem changes a lot.

You can make as many non entry replies as you want, but avoid any hint.

The winner will need to give the correct country name and be the closest for the dollar amount.

The prize will be 60% of the liquid award of this post.

Good luck.

UPDATE:

The reward posted by Steemit on Tuesday, January 23^rd 2018, 12 Noon (Pacific time) was $190.77.

The correct answer for the country I have visited was Lebanon

So, the winner of this contest is @anevolvedmonkey who gave the value of $195

Congratulations, @anevolvedmonkey, expect to get your reward in two days.

I visited Lebanon when the ship I was posted on at the time went to Jounieh, near Beirut.

Lebanon was the country that got the most valid entries (18)

In total, there were 83 valid entries.
