Sorry Pilch, and Murray, you were wrong last night and you are wrong now  www.logicjungle.com/wiki/Big_DiomedeThe Diomede Islands (Big Diomede or Imaqliq, also known as Ratmanov Island, and Little Diomede or Inaliq) are two rocky islands located in the middle of the Bering Strait between Alaska and Siberia. The islands straddle international borders as well as the International Date Line. At the closest land approach between the United States (which controls Little Diomede), and Russia (which controls Big Diomede), are 3km (two miles) apart. The Big Diomede Island is Russia's easternmost point, while Alaska's Aleutian Islands extend U.S. territory further west. Another point we were cheated out of lads and lasses  |

I didn't mind them enforcing their answer last night Andrew as it was their quiz, it was just the arrogant disregard for our superior knowledge that got to me.  |
