Both walrus81 and Mark in Oshawa guessed four correct, fly_ac was the only one to guess Austria correctly so fight it out amoungst yourselves as to who sets the next Q ;)
Since I am new to this, let me give it a go......
A little bit of trivia that I will toss out there. In all the nations, and their parts ( provinces and states), there is only ONE flag (state or province or national flag) that has a Union Jack on it that is part/or is NOT a nation of the British Commonwealth.
So a flag of an area with a Union Jack that has no connection AT all to the British Commonwealth.
PS I am shocked the Czechs were not in the top 5, my god they have good beer!!!! As for Canada not being there, well we have to choose, Crown Royal or Canadian beer? mmmmm I will have a Guinness while I think about it!!!
Hawaii?Quote:

The eight alternating white, red and blue stripes represent the eight islands of Hawaii. The British Union Jack represents Hawaii's historical relationship with Great Britian as its protectorate. It also represents a stylized puela (a triangular standard laying across two crossed spears called an alia) which is the symbol of the Hawaiian ali'i.
Good show!
(Good question, too, Mark!)
Schmeke you nailed it. Hawaii never was part of Britain in any way, but it was "discovered" by Capt. Cook. I guess the Royal family of Hawaii adopted the Union Jack, and for whatever reason, they kept it after the Americans took over....figures a Canadian would get that question!!! You Yanks should know these things!!!
Thanks Mark. Don't be so hard on the Yanks... I vaguely remember a similar question here recently... ;) .
O.k., I think this may also have been previously asked but I can't think up of a decent Q right now... :mark: ...

Ok since we need all 5, lets try this
1. Czech Rep.
2. Denmark
3. Norway
4. Sweden
5. Austria
IT doesn't amaze me that most of the nations are all northern nations, what gets me is why Canada isn't in that top 10....god knows we have enough chances with coffee shops in every commercial district.
I was in IKEA the other day looking for a lamp and came back with a coffee grinder and a plunger type thing. I think it's called a Polm or a Plom or some such but anyway - the point is that one the label it says:
"The Five Scandanavian Countries Together Make up the Biggest Coffee Drinkers In the World"
So in order they appear on the plunger:
Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Iceland and Finland
I'm thinking Lebanon for some reason as well. They seem to run all of the best coffee houses around Sydney, and that only comes about with practice.
Rollo, you can thank that Polm/Plom :D
1. Finland
2. Denmark
3. Norway
4. Sweden
5. Austria

6. Germany
7. Switzerland
8. Netherlands
9. Belgium
10. Italy
I think jso got two of the five correct, but I really can't be bothered to check, so someone have a go :D
Finland is number one! Now I know why Eki is so excited about Bush all the time. Too much coffee!
Gannex....I think it is what he puts in the coffee that makes him hyper...
How many "states" are there in the United States of America?
This must be a trick question, but I don't see the trick so I'll say the obvious: 50.
There is a trick to this and the obvious is wrong. Not 50.
49, I guess you're not including District of Columbia.
You can't include District of Columbia in the first place. It's not a state; neither is it part of one. District of Columbia is the Federal district as defined by the US Constitution.
It's not 49.
