You convert it to hexes and plan a Naval attack......

After the resulting silence, I shift to "Malaysia is an interesting country--you are probably wearing something from there"--mercifully allowing the discussion to shift to fashion.

Recently played a very old version of Dutch Trivial Pursuit which had questions that a young Belgian just shouldn't know. Like "what was the old name of Jakarta?" The same situation occurred.
