I'm guessing it's just when you submitted it 'cause I did mine on Friday night.

Totally agree. It makes you notice all the little details that the map makers work so hard on, but most of us are probably concentrating on the game and don't really appreciate them like we should. Enjoying it, thanks thenobodies80.

Yeah... #29 took me forever with this one.

The biggest change I noticed was that the maps were no longer sorted by name, like they were in the first two rounds, so I had to go over every map for those I didn't recognize right away, instead of just those in between the ones that I did get easily.
I agree about #29. I was looking for a brown land mass on a map using that font for territory names.
I knew #28 was a face, but didn't place the individual (which would have made it obvious).
#21 threw me off, because I saw it as a right eye in profile with a nose beside, not a left eye looking straight ahead with the edge of the neck in view.
And I would like to lodge a (mild) protest about #24: when I see that map right now on the site, none of the red and white or yellow borders appear.
Still, I am enjoying this competition immensely! On to round 4!

hell, i even failed to see that one... lol, that would make things a lot easyer.
also #24. try getting the large picture. I also failed to spot it. I was quite sure wich map it was, save for the border, but then i found out i was looking at the small maps, and instead looked at the large one's.. i am prob giving away some cool intel, but hey. we are all friends here..

Hmm... I hadn't even noticed that they were sorted by name before.
As for #24, if you look at the larger image, it shows up as it is in the picture

Oh ho, you are correct. I will have to remember to switch between large and small maps while browsing to see both versions. (Hmm, maybe that's why all the thumbnails looked a little bigger than the images I found.
thenobodies80 must be collecting his samples from large maps.

Not if you have been following the map as closely I have. I knew that one right away.
EDIT: Whoops, that's an entirely different number. Ignore me.
