LOL I am a New Zealander. I dont really know enough about the midwest (I live in Virginia, I think that is still "east") - I am guessing the Australian equivalent is Western Australia or maybe South Australia. The New Zealand grain belt is the Canterbury Plains in the South Island but comparatively that is probably the size of one of your backyards :)

Q: Does it ever get windy in Australia? I have never seen it rain on TV, so how do the plants grow? (UK) A: We import all plants fully grown and then just sit around watching them die. 2.

Oh and on the water thing: "Robert Ehrlich, a physicist at George Mason University, expands on these ideas: "Do bathtubs drain in different directions in the two hemispheres? If you had a specially prepared bathtub, the answer would be yes. For any normal bathtub you are likely to encounter in the home, however, the answer is no.

Dont worry Jaime they are re-jigging the scoring system for 1.04 which will apparently de-emphasis size (which we all know isnt that important :)) and put more emphasis on the difficulty of play. It IS just a game - dont worry about scores - just have fun.
