Not sure where this leaves us but this is the setters reply
Just checked my particular reference book - one of many and according to that there are 8 - I reckon it depends on how you define a continent. So we stick with 8.
No I'm afraid not - lol
I did also mention the cocktail recipe as I cant find a definite answer but she is going down the judges decision is final route and as she says its for a good cause so guess we have to go with that.
I have said in an email and will say on here that she needs to make sure her questions are a bit more clear cut as we had similar problems with the last quiz
I always thought Atlantis was known as the eighth continent
- mind you that was probably from a film like Journey to the Centre of Earth so I wouldn't guarantee its accuracy!
bibster,
Think Junkman is correct that Alantis is the 8th continent. I found out that it was a legendary island described by Plato as a center of civilization that was engufed by the sea. The inhabitants were known as Atlantides.
Wishing you luck with the answer.
Chere.
