I accidentally mislabed the checkpoint #2 instead of #3, so I reposted it with the correct title to avoid confusion. ZiP and Mangafanatic, you need to repost here.

Indonesia's largest city is Jakarta, with a population of more than nine million.
And if that one isn't acceptable:
Indonesia's national language is Bahasa Indonesia.

Well, I'll post and let our good and just moderator figure out who post when. Even though Osaka fell for the old post-in-the-wrong-thread trick, I'm sure she'll try to claim victory anyway.
Indonesia has a very impressive 87.9% literacy rate. I think that's significant, especially considering they have a very small portion of the population over the age of 65 (about 5%) - much less then the US.
Facts from your friendly neighborhood Central Intelligence Agency.

Indonesia is composed of roughly 17,00 islands.

I'd just like to humbly submit that I don't think it's fair that I'm out. I posted first in the thread that was about Indonesia. Just my two cents (I would have gotten back on if I thought you were going to do something like this-- but I figured you'd just have a moddie change the title. And for future reference, they can change thread titles.)

Every year in Uganda, innumerable children simply. . . disappear. These children all stolen under the cover of darkness from their homes and impressed into the guerilla armies of the LRA [Lord's Resistance Army]. In the deserts of Uganda, they are forced to witness the mindless slaughter of other children until they themselves can do nothing but kill. Kill. These children, generally ranging from ages 5-12, are brainwashed into murdering in the name of the resistance and into stealing other children from their beds to suffer the same fate.
Because of this genocide of innocence, hundred and hundreds of children live every night sleeping in public places miles from their homes, because they know that if the do not-- they will disappear. They will become just another number in this genocide to which the international community has chosen to turn a blind eye. They will become, in affect, invisible-- Invisible Children.
But there are those who are trying to fight against this slaughter of Uganda's children. They fight to protect these "invisible children." Please, help them help a country full of children who know nothing by fear. Help save the innocence. For more information concerning how you can help and how you can get an incredible video about this horrific reality, visit the Invisible Children home page.

After deliberation, I have decided that the only (hopefully) noncontroversial and fair way to resolve this is the following:
1) Whack myself for being so stoopid.
2) Whack myself again for not contacting a mod.
3) Replay the round as round 4. No one is eliminated.
The round will restart sometime this afternoon.
