What is Andorra?
The capital city of Andorra, Andorra la Vella, is the highest-elevation capital city in Europe. Located in the Pyrenees between Spain and France, one interesting fact is that Andorra was considered to be in a state of war with imperial Germany until 1958, as they had declared war in World War I, but not included in the Treaty of Versailles. However, it remained neutral during World War II. Another unusual fact is that Andorra is a co-principality, with the President of France and Bishop of Urgell (the diocese for northwest Spain and Andorra) being ex-officio co-princes.

Miscellany:
So no one got the final question right tonight.
First first-row daily double since the last week of last season,eh? This may be the first last week of the season tradition.
when’s the date for the tournament of champions being held? are most of the winners are there for it
Dates haven’t been officially announced yet, though I would say that the likeliest airdates are November 6-17, 2017.
are most of the winners who won at least 5 games be there people like alan lin and those guys
Wonder why Justin wasn’t on the Teachers tournament. He would have done very well.
The show will cast teachers outside of the Teachers Tournament as well (teachers aren’t just restricted to competing in the one event.)
Loved watching Justin for 6 days. He is the image of my son who passed away in November, to include his personality & mannerisms. I will miss him. Hope to see him back for Tournament of Champions!
