Well, the World Tour has ended, and the results are in.

1. The tour begins in Ireland, where you arrive at the local pub. To your horror, you discover that a local has drank the pub completely out of Guinness. After setting this man on fire, what beer do you order instead of Guinness?

It was a close race throughout, but Murphy's squeaks by with the win.

<table style="border-collapse: collapse; width: 112pt;" width="149" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><col style="width: 64pt;" width="85"> <col style="width: 48pt;" width="64"> <tbody><tr style="height: 15pt;" height="20"> <td style="height: 15pt; width: 64pt;" width="85" height="20">Murphy's</td> <td style="width: 48pt;" width="64" align="right">5</td> </tr> <tr style="height: 15pt;" height="20"> <td style="height: 15pt;" height="20">Killian's</td> <td align="right">4</td> </tr> <tr style="height: 15pt;" height="20"> <td style="height: 15pt;" height="20">Harp</td> <td align="right">3</td> </tr> <tr style="height: 15pt;" height="20"> <td style="height: 15pt;" height="20">Budweiser</td> <td align="right">3</td> </tr> <tr style="height: 15pt;" height="20"> <td style="height: 15pt;" height="20">Beamish</td> <td align="right">2</td> </tr> <tr style="height: 15pt;" height="20"> <td style="height: 15pt;" height="20">Smithwick's</td> <td align="right">2</td> </tr> <tr style="height: 15pt;" height="20"> <td style="height: 15pt;" height="20">Heineken</td> <td align="right">1</td> </tr> <tr style="height: 15pt;" height="20"> <td style="height: 15pt;" height="20">Newcastle</td> <td align="right">1</td> </tr> <tr style="height: 15pt;" height="20"> <td style="height: 15pt;" height="20">Bass</td> <td align="right">1</td> </tr> <tr style="height: 15pt;" height="20"> <td style="height: 15pt;" height="20">Boddingtons</td> <td align="right">1</td> </tr> </tbody></table>

2. Good and drunk, you stagger to the airport, only to find your flight has been canceled. The good news is, you have a free voucher to any location in Europe. The bad news is, you only have time to see one historical landmark. Which historical landmark, in continental Europe, do you go see?

Dealbreaker #1

<table style="border-collapse: collapse; width: 147pt;" width="195" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><col style="width: 131pt;" width="174"> <col style="width: 16pt;" width="21"> <tbody><tr style="height: 15pt;" height="20"> <td style="height: 15pt; width: 131pt;" width="174" height="20">Eiffel Tower</td> <td style="width: 16pt;" width="21" align="right">21</td> </tr> <tr style="height: 15pt;" height="20"> <td style="height: 15pt;" height="20">Colosseum</td> <td align="right">1</td> </tr> <tr style="height: 15pt;" height="20"> <td style="height: 15pt;" height="20">Leaning Tower of Pisa</td> <td align="right">1</td> </tr> </tbody></table>

3. You've seen a bit of history, you've been drunk with the locals, now it's time to see the "wildlife". Which country do you fly to to see the hottest women?

Dealbreaker #2 -- The United Kingdom, btw????

<table style="border-collapse: collapse; width: 111pt;" width="147" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><col style="width: 95pt;" width="126"> <col style="width: 16pt;" width="21"> <tbody><tr style="height: 15pt;" height="20"> <td style="height: 15pt; width: 95pt;" width="126" height="20">Sweden</td> <td style="width: 16pt;" width="21" align="right">13</td> </tr> <tr style="height: 15pt;" height="20"> <td style="height: 15pt;" height="20">Brazil</td> <td align="right">5</td> </tr> <tr style="height: 15pt;" height="20"> <td style="height: 15pt;" height="20">Italy</td> <td align="right">2</td> </tr> <tr style="height: 15pt;" height="20"> <td style="height: 15pt;" height="20">France</td> <td align="right">1</td> </tr> <tr style="height: 15pt;" height="20"> <td style="height: 15pt;" height="20">United Kingdom</td> <td align="right">1</td> </tr> <tr style="height: 15pt;" height="20"> <td style="height: 15pt;" height="20">Amsterdam</td> <td align="right">1</td> </tr> </tbody></table>

4. You continue on your fantasy tour, now with hot companions! You decide it's time to seal the deal with these lovely ladies, but they insist on being wined and dined lavishly as you continue your tour. Unfortunately, your idea of wining and dining consists of taking the ladies to a Japanese baseball game and sampling the beer and food there. Which Japanese baseball team do you call to score tickets?

DealBreaker #3

<table style="border-collapse: collapse; width: 118pt;" width="156" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><col style="width: 95pt;" width="126"> <col style="width: 23pt;" width="30"> <tbody><tr style="height: 15pt;" height="20"> <td style="height: 15pt; width: 95pt;" width="126" height="20">Yomiuri Giants</td> <td style="width: 23pt;" width="30" align="right">18</td> </tr> <tr style="height: 15pt;" height="20"> <td style="height: 15pt;" height="20">Chunichi Dragons</td> <td align="right">2</td> </tr> <tr style="height: 15pt;" height="20"> <td style="height: 15pt;" height="20">Orix BlueWave</td> <td align="right">1</td> </tr> <tr style="height: 15pt;" height="20"> <td style="height: 15pt;" height="20">Osaka</td> <td align="right">1</td> </tr> <tr style="height: 15pt;" height="20"> <td style="height: 15pt;" height="20">Yakult Swallows</td> <td align="right">1</td> </tr> </tbody></table>

5. A few dozen Kirin beers and a hungover morning later, you realize that your new hot companions are actually not as hot as you thought. You decide to hop out on the next early morning flight to some friendly surroundings and get while the gettin' is good. Which United States territory do you hide in?

Surprised I didn't get any USA answers:

<table style="border-collapse: collapse; width: 118pt;" width="156" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><col style="width: 95pt;" width="126"> <col style="width: 23pt;" width="30"> <tbody><tr style="height: 15pt;" height="20"> <td style="height: 15pt; width: 95pt;" width="126" height="20">Guam</td> <td style="width: 23pt;" width="30" align="right">10</td> </tr> <tr style="height: 15pt;" height="20"> <td style="height: 15pt;" height="20">Virgin Islands</td> <td align="right">5</td> </tr> <tr style="height: 15pt;" height="20"> <td style="height: 15pt;" height="20">Puerto Rico</td> <td align="right">4</td> </tr> <tr style="height: 15pt;" height="20"> <td style="height: 15pt;" height="20">Hawaii</td> <td align="right">2</td> </tr> <tr style="height: 15pt;" height="20"> <td style="height: 15pt;" height="20">Montana</td> <td align="right">1</td> </tr> <tr style="height: 15pt;" height="20"> <td style="height: 15pt;" height="20">Alaska</td> <td align="right">1</td> </tr> </tbody></table>

6. After a couple of drying up days on the beach, it's time to call it a week and head home. But the only flight home you can afford connects through Australia. Which airline do you take from Australia back to the good ol' US of A?

<table style="border-collapse: collapse; width: 118pt;" width="156" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><col style="width: 95pt;" width="126"> <col style="width: 23pt;" width="30"> <tbody><tr style="height: 15pt;" height="20"> <td style="height: 15pt; width: 95pt;" width="126" height="20">Qantas</td> <td style="width: 23pt;" width="30" align="right">16</td> </tr> <tr style="height: 15pt;" height="20"> <td style="height: 15pt;" height="20">United</td> <td align="right">3</td> </tr> <tr style="height: 15pt;" height="20"> <td style="height: 15pt;" height="20">Delta</td> <td align="right">3</td> </tr> <tr style="height: 15pt;" height="20"> <td style="height: 15pt;" height="20">American</td> <td align="right">1</td> </tr> </tbody></table>
