Hello fine members of the best website on the planet. :)

As I always do, here are the rules for this 3rd installment of the (in)famous Scavenger Hunt (a link to the first question will be at the bottom of this post). Please be sure to read all the rules (they aren't tricky, but they are specific).

Admin has created a new area (thanks Admin, you rock!) for running giveaways. I'm sure once we see how this one goes, we'll be able to roll it out for others to use. It will have the look and feel of the User List comment area. As the creator of the question, I can elect to display the answers or not. In this case, I will not display the answers until entries are closed. This will eliminate the copying that has taken place in the past, yet keep the answers public. You will be able to see who has answered, and in which order, just no answers will be visible right away. Additionally, replies in this system are not editable. Answers will eventually be visible to all. Please be aware of that when you respond.

Rules are similar to the previous contests.

Answers will be reviewed in the order they are received. If someone submits any additional responses, only the last response counts, and the timing of that last response is what is used in determining order of receiving the correct answer. Since the responses will not be visible until after the Answering Window is closed, you may make whatever comments you like (keep it family-friendly, please) along with your answers - in fact, you won't want to make a second response else you may lose your qualification.

For this giveaway, there will be only 4 rounds, and Round 1 is the "qualifying round". Simply give a correct answer, and you'll move on to Round 2.

Also, since replies are masked until the window is closed, all members will be able to participate in all rounds now. You may no longer qualify for prizes, but you are able to participate and continue to have fun with the hunts without giving away any answers to those who are still competing for prizes.

Prizes for this hunt will mainly come from the "Griffey423 Stash", which this time around will include an autographed card for each of the top 4 finishers as well as an assortment of other cards. Top 5 will win prizes.

Please click on the following link, enter your response in the area below the question, and click the big blue Submit button. The answering window for this question will be open approximately 16 hours - it will close at approximately noon (EDT) on Wednesday. Members who qualify for prizes and have moved on to Round 2 will be announced in this thread around the same time.

Note: Please do not reply to this forum thread before the answering window closes on this question. It will be removed, and you will lose eligibility to move on. Please note, I reserve the right to reply to "bump" this up in the morning. :)

Just a reminder, this contest is currently open to ALL members. There was no "sign up" needed. Answer this first question correctly, and move on to tomorrow's night's question.

Don't forget - get those answers in by noon.

The "griffey423 stash" should not be confused with this 'stache:

Yes, STASH, not 'STACHE.

A little more than an hour to go. Come one folks, this is an easy one! All you have to do to continue is to answer it correctly (and follow the simple instructions in the clue)!

Wow. You all made this one harder than it needed to be.

First, the answer:

Garo Yepremian - Cyprus - 177 games
Tunch Ilkin - Turkey - 177 games

And now let's take a look at the errors made:

First, the people mentioned that were not the only NFL players born in that country (others listed afterwards with NFL games played in parentheses):
Morten Anderson - Denmark - Hans Nielsen (3), Wagner Jorgensen (18), & Bud Jorgensen (21)
Ted Hendricks - Guatemala - John Hendy (16)
Gary Anderson - South Africa - Greg Joseph (16) & Jerome Pathon (100)
Hines Ward - South Korea - Kyle Love (115), Younghoe Koo (12), & John Lee (11)

Then the players who were the only players born in that country, but did not exceed 175 games played in the NFL:
Jose Cortez - El Salvador - Only played 55 games
Benny Ricardo - Paraguay - Only played in 90 games

I also asked for links to Topps cards. (Please be sure they are links!)

The following members got the answers correct:

Tylergallo

bpaul14
sandyrusty
bobfetta
C2Cigars

The following members had the right people, but didn't follow the instructions (Topps cards):

herkojerko
RonEaston

The following members had one or both people incorrect:
jasongerman9
Shaw Racing
Gator415
garychap
KMack

mattdamick

Since participation was so low in this one, I'm going to allow the 20 members who participated to move on to Round #2. This is the only time I will give 2nd chances. Question #2 will post tonight at 8:00 PM EDT. Same rules apply and anyone who answers correctly before noon tomorrow will move on (so there is no rush to miss parts of the clue!). However, if you don't answer it correctly this time, you're done. :)

You may now discuss Question #1 here if you like.

ahhhhhh....I see where I missed....I read it as 

Only one from the country to play in more than 175 games.....so I had

Morten Anderson - Denmark - Hans Nielsen (3), Wagner Jorgensen (18), & Bud Jorgensen (21)
Ted Hendricks - Guatemala - John Hendy (16)

Thanks for the 2nd chance!!! :)

So you waited to see who moved on and then changed the rules?   

With Turkey, there is also Chris Conley-

(The player bio might be wrong. I was only pointing out what info is stated on here)

I had seen Tunch, but with two players listed it canceled out.

V, your question says....."In the NFL, there have been 2 players who were the only ones who were born in their respective countries who also played in more than 175 games".
