This Is A Plug

I bought a Universal Adaptor for iPhil* so what better way to celebrate the wonder of technology than play a little game. Answers in the comments section, if you will.

Which Continents/Countries are supported by the following plugs? More specifically, which supports Japan?

#1 has two flat-prongs, #2 is a three-pronged delight, #3 is curvy, and #4 is a slant on number one. (Click to enlarge)






*Does that really need explaining?

One!
I recon its One, from what I remember they use 100v, which is quite random. They also seem to vary between 50 and 60 Hz supplies! They have to be awkward don't they!

Three looks to be european

and I used Four in argentina, but its also used in australia!

well done Ian (and sorry Oli).

#1 is used in Japan and USA, and #4 is used in Australia/New Zealand etc, although many plugs have turnable parts so you can use them all over.
