Every week, in my office, we have a quiz. The quizzes usually have a geography theme (we're nerdy like that). This week I provided the EuroPopQuiz!
Now I'd like to offer the quiz to the dear readers of acediscovery. I may make this a regular occurance as quizzes are the ace fun.
So - listen to or download the mp3 and reply. The mp3 has 7 sound clips - each from a different country. The task is to identify which country the songs come from - hint: all the countries are in Europe.
I'll select a winner, and there will be a prize! (most likely a CD)
Things I do
I ask people to draw maps...
· Draw the World
· Draw Europe's nations
· Crowdsourced Continent maps
I make map cards:
· See map cards
And other things I write about:
· Little moments from travel
· London art & museums
· Football with foreign fans
· London shop geography
About this blog
I love geography, maps, tours, flags, etymology, and foreign pop culture.

I could only make out seven clips. My guesses are, in order, The Netherlands, Romania, Greece, France, Finland, Ukraine and Norway. Four are total guesses. One I feel vaguely sure of. Two I feel I've got a hint of a chance with.
Thanks pleite - there are 7 clips (I have been counting this wrong since Friday).
I will let you know if you are right in due course!
Ooo, this is a brilliant idea! Let's see...I'll guess the Netherlands, Spain, Russia, France, Finland, Ukraine, and Sweden.
I'll pretend I didn't see what was there before your deleting(!) and give you my honest answers:
NL, ES, RU, FR, MD, UA, SE.
We like! More please!
Thank you Chig! Er, where is MD? Is it Maceonia or Moldova or somewhere entirely different?
MD = Moldova. (MK = FYR Macedonia.)
I think:
The Netherlands, Spain, Poland, France, Estonia, Ukraine, Sweden
Greg.
I have no idea.
Netherlands, Portugal, Croatia, France, Norway, Czech Republic, Sweden because some of the words in the last one sound like some of the words in Marie Fredriksson's solo stuff.
Oooh, this was difficult but fun!
My guess: Netherlands, Spain, Hungary, Belgium, Finland and Sweden.
Ooops. Forgot one. FYROM should be in there between Finland and Sweden;o)
And the results:
pleite = 4
poppostergirl = 6
chig = 5
RTD = 6
Rad = 3
Pål = 4
Well done all!
