correct and correct!

(wales is a country!)

the one that stumped me for about an hour was chad, very surprised johnfas got it so early!

The girlfriend has been to Chad so it struck me probably quicker than it would others. I never would have guessed Laos.

Wales... country... nation... principality... I'm only being controversial for the sake of it .

where can you find the Mars Positive, Luna Mount, Plain of Mars and the Girdle of Venus?

I was going to go for that one, but it occurred to me that that could equally well be expressed as:

1/6 + 2/6 + 3/6

which seemed like cheating?

!/4 + 1/2 + 2/8

!/4 + 1/2 + 2/8

2/8 = 1/4

I blame the cheap cava I got in M&S

De Gaulle's seems correct to me. Any three different fractions could be expressed as having the same denominator.

I don't feel like working that one out properly to find the actual answer but since 2/3 = 6/9, 2/3 + 1/9 = 7/9, so unless 1/5 = 2/9 (which it doesn't) that doesn't add up to exactly 1.

1/3 + 3/5 + 1/15

Wait a minute... that can't be the whole question. There are surely many cases of three different fractions adding up to one. 1/7 + 1/4 + 17/28 is another one. To get that I just picked two random fractions, 1/7 and 1/4, added them to get 11/28, subtracted that from 1 to get the third fraction. You could do that with any two fractions and it will always fit the question unless the third fraction is the same as one of the first two fractions, which will only happen sometimes.

Am I reading the question wrong, or is there another qualification that EVM forgot to add?
