So I'm really busy and everything's going great..
So now I'm considering the option of delegating some work around the webdesign-stuff. I have no clue how this would work legally though, amongst other things..

question about cheating investigations
I am a player in a (now paused) game "live gunshot 412." In the middle of a turn the game was apparently paused by a moderator...message was posted that the game had been paused due to a cheating investigation. Do those playing in the game find out the results from the investigation? Is it the case that even if no cheating is found that the game will still be cancelled? Can I go to bed without fear of the game resuming and me being charged with an nmr? Thank you.

@jmo, those are not specific thigs which *only* these countries have in common, and they had nothing to do with the first clue.

Is it inference you need to figure these bits out? Inferential logic? Because otherwise the question is too hard, as you point out.

+NEW QUESTION+

Ok, since it is now my turn:

What do the following countries have in common? Jamaica, Moldova, Tanzania, India, Lesotho, Mauritania, Dominica, Sri Lanka, Uganda, Zambia, Malawi, Bhutan, Malta, Liechtenstein, Armenia, South Korea, Marshall Islands, Vatican City.

To be clear for jmo's benefit, all the countries share one thing, which is not (to my knowledge, and I've checked) shared by any country not on that list.

What is the answer?
orathaic (1009 D(B))

They all have yellow on their flag?
I thought about that, but Lesotho doesn't have yellow on its flag. Neither does Liechtenstein. Green and yellow are common colors shared by some of these flags, but not all.

Remember I also said it is about colours.
fiedler (1293 D)

They all have awful colour coordination that I would not be caught dead in darling.

Is it something lame like additive primary colours?

No, I reckon he though he'd have a quick pint on the way home... I wondered whether it might be non-standard shapes of flags? Just a thought... The Vatican City's is square and the Marshall Islands is longer than usual...
Jamiet99uk (873 D)
06 Jul 15 UTC

Sorry for the delay - work-related hold up.

The answer is:

Each of the countries listed has a flag which has a unique combination of colours.

For instance, Jamaica's flag is Green, Black and Yellow. There is no other country with exactly that colour combination.

(Not technically true of Moldova, which is why I added the update to that effect)

Of course, the flags of India and Ireland have same colours, and Liechtenstein and Haiti also same. SO your question was REALLY hard to get right. Well done hand job.

Iphone/Ipad issue?
I've had to make some recent moves using these devices, and notice that in builds, I thought I've entered a fleet, only to have an army appear. It's almost certainly user input stupidity, so am I missing something in the save/ready commands? Is there a default set to army if an order is entered but improperly saved? Help - the admirals are pissed off.

With a 5-2 win over reigning champions Japan, which included 4 goals in the first 16 minutes (3 of them by Carli Lloyd), the USWNT has won their 3rd World Cup (the record), and first since 1999.
