Poll: What continent are you in?

4 points by icey ↗ HN
I get the feeling that YC is much more international than people realize. Instead of complaining when people misspell a word, or are inartful with their comments; maybe we could see where everyone is from.

Which continent are you guys in?

(Islanders, please select your nearest continental shelf.)

p.s. If anyone is provably in Antarctica, I will paypal them 20 dollars for omitting it from my poll.
You may have given some lucky resident of Punta Arenas a nice little arbitrage.
Hmmm... Wikipedia says it's like 1,400 miles away from Antarctica. It looks like South America to me, but I'm willing to have that conversation, should it come up ;)

It was the closest I could find on the map. While I'm sure $1 goes a lot farther there than here, I concede that my comment was stupid.
Well, I don't know about anyone else, but it gave me a good laugh. And then I went straight to Wikipedia to make sure I wasn't about to cost myself a bunch of money.
