10/16 to beat

A tad harder BigDog? !! That is true.

5/16 oh my word.

Are we sure their answer to question 4 is correct? Seems highly illogical.

[MrMichael]

A miserable 5 for me.

@Uranium235 – “France” usually includes all the various DOM-TOM’s around the world – hence the answer is probably correct.

13 out of 16…..: )

Stupid mistake,forgot about South Sudan,never spent Soms,nor did I know about Columbus and his barnacles!

[ViajeroUK]

Only 9 out of 16

What a head scratcher that was!, I visited the the area of the country where Colombus scraped his barnacles in 2014 so that was a lucky one for me.

8 out of 16, so 50%, and I thought I was well travelled and well versed! Great quiz!

10/16, and quite chuffed lol. Annoyed that I got Ibn Battuta wrong though!

[conshaldow]

Great quiz, really got me thinking! 9/16 so not too bad. I did think Pamana originally for 15 however had a last minute change.

No idea how I knew Helvetica was Switzerland but just one of those ones where you know it.

13/16… Missed 1,10,13… Very fun though!

[MartynSinclair]

6/16, but in reality it was 14 guesses and only 2 that I knew…..

Wrt France – it is also a popular pub quiz question – on which country does the sun never set ? – France, as most of France’s overseas territories (in Atlantic, Caribbean, Pacific) are deemed part of France. They elect directly to the French Parliament and have the Euro.

If I had been thinking straight last night BigDog, I should have got the timezone one. French Guiana is depicted on the back of € notes, but not New Caledonia….so I am trying to work out the official currency there.
