An international quiz

#IHI09 I attended the international reception tonight at the IHI National Forum, which is representation from 42 countries. My tablemates (seen here) included people from Norway, Sweden, United Kingdom, India, and Canada.

The first order of business was a quiz, to be answered as a team. This was a good ice-breaker and also somewhat informative. Here are some questions. See how you do:
