Especially fun for me since I am from Sweden
Perhaps you as well can test your knowledge about the two countries.
Have fun!
Since some people don't know the difference - there is now a little pop-quiz!
Got 8 out of 10
10 .
But one answer was by default, because the other three options were silly.
Nine (how should I know how big Sweden is?)
10/10
But I've lived in both
For Americans: Slightly larger than California.
I dint know they playing each other ,with hiller in the goal I go for Switzerland 3;1
9/10. I thought Sweden had fought in World War 2.
10.
I had to make an educated guess for Q9.
Do people really not know these differences? The question about the river... that one really made me wonder
I got the ABB and neutrality questions wrong. I thought Sweden had been involved in some local conflicts since the early 1800s. I was wrong. And I'd never heard of ABB, though in retrospect it does sound familiar.
9/10. I guessed wrong in the war question. DUH! I should have known, as I have lived "right next door" (Finland) most of my life
I got 10.
the question about which country borders Belgium ahd me thinking though. Especially seeing Belgium is the capital of Salzburg.
9/10 and I have a Swedish wife
Didn't know the one about the company merger
I was not sure what was ment with participating in wars, after 1800. There were some skirmish aginst nepoleon. Napoleon also forced around 20`000 Eidgenossen to fight in the preussen and russia war. And 1847 there was the sonderbund civil war in which the Swiss Taliban-Catholics did loose.
10/10 sa klart!
As Switzerland are currently playing Sweden in the Curling finals at the Olympics, have they put special provisions in place to stop them confusing each side?
They seem to have made it difficult for themselves as Sweden are using Red stones and Switzerland are using Yellow stones
9/10 -- I didn't know who Engelbrekt was, but I have never lived in Sweden. Many people ask me if I speak Swedish though.
I thought this thread was about curling...
9/10
I hate complicated questions like the first one of that quiz.
same for me. lived in Göteborg 25 yrs(!) ago...
fduvall
9/10.
I thought Stockholm was abit more east, than it was, so got the capital in the middle wrong.
