Geo trivia

Every Monday night, I take the Red Line two stops north to Davis Square for trivia at Johnny D’s.  (Free pizza until 8pm and cheap beer…can’t beat it.) My team has a knowledge gap in 70s and 80s pop culture, which usually keeps us from winning, but we’re pretty solid on the other categories.  Tonight, an entire round was devoted to world geography, and I thought you gtrotters might enjoy the challenge.

It’s simple:  I give you the bordering countries, and you name the country.

1. Germany, France, Belgium

2. Spain, Algeria, Mauritania

3. Albania, Macedonia, Bulgaria, Turkey

4. Italy, France, Germany, Austria, Liechtenstein

5. Sweden, Finland, Russia

6. Spain and France (hint: it’s not Monaco!)

7. China, Russia

8. Israel, Libya, Sudan

9. Nicaragua, Panama

10. China, Cambodia, Laos

We didn’t quite sweep this round, unfortunately.  How’d you do?  Answers after the jump. (more…)
