My guess is the Spaniards too. Is this a trick question? Because I hate trick questions. I remember sitting in school, plunking away on a problem only to find out later that it was a trick question...I drew little houses and labled them to figure this out so it had better not be a trick...it took like ten minutes! :)

You are both right! And Manda, I thought the same thing about it being a trick! I had to label the houses and keep going through the hints to get to it as well. I also got the Americans mixed up with the English so I had to go back and fix that...
