Status: offline 		If i may hijack the thread for a moment, I just want to express my profound embarrassment at not getting the quesion about Saturn's moons last night. I even googled it, which I rarely do, because it was so frustrating - i felt like the answer was right in front of my nose, and I just couldn't see it.

Perhaps it was because i was tired. I'd just spent an hour driving back to Ventura from LA, and it was late.

What was i doing in LA so late? Well, I was at Griffith Observatory, looking through their telescope.

What was I looking at? Saturn, among other things.

I should probably be disqualified from ever playing this game again.

And they all have pandas, too. In their zoos!

But I don't believe those pandas are allowed to use those observatories.  Which is a pity.

It's an unfortunate situation that gives one paws. No wonder the Pandas are steamed, burning brightly!

You are correct, Panda, and it's now your turn.

Poland
Bulgaria
Romania
Hungary

I know these countries have a lot of things in common, so I'll start you all out with 2 clues. Albania could also be on this list, but technically speaking, no other country could.

They were founding members of the Warsaw Pact, but then so were the Czechoslovak Republic, the German Democratic Republic and the U.S.S.R. But is that the direction you're going, or something else?

In WWII, Poland, Hungary, Bulgaria, and Romania first allied with Germany, then later with the Soviet Union (not sure about Albania).

Or...they all freed themselves with the Ottoman Turks?

The Revolutions of 1989, throwing off communist rule? But then, that includes East Germany and Czechoslovakia.

Former Warsaw Pact members who now belong to NATO? But then, that list would be longer.

A quandary.

"Though the Giant Panda is often assumed to be docile, it has been known to attack humans, presumably out of irritation rather than predatory behavior."

Wikipedia says nothing about Panda behavior in constructing puzzles, however.

I guess I'm bamboozled.

That's it! Founding members of the Warsaw Pact who are now members of NATO. Boy, they don't last long when you're around.

Sorry, guys, went down to LA for the day and just got back. Didn't mean to, uh... bamboozle you all to that degree!

Thanks Panda. Why are the "technically" the only ones? Just curious.

New Quartet to follow later on today.

East Germany and Czechoslavakia were also founding members of the Warsaw Pact, and in some form or other are now NATO members - East Germany as a part of the reunified Germany, and Czechoslavakia in the form of Slovakia and the Czech Republic. The four on my list (as well as Albania) are the only countries that are NATO members in the same form as they existed in the Warsaw Pact. I thought that would make it a little easier for people to research it.

The connection is later than the Louisiana Purchase.
