Norway

I just realized I totally ignored Iceland. Please just give me 0. It's the AC, I swear. And inability to count and read. Gonna go eat angleworms. Holy crap.

Further inspection reveals a flaw in the wording of one of the questions:

5- The northernmost of the Nordic countries.

It only took until Day 2 for me to screw it up!

I'll sort it out on Wednesday. Sorry!

Answers and points:

1- The largest of the Nordic countries, land-wise.
Sweden

2- Legos began here.
Denmark

3- Sauli Niinistö is the president of this Nordic country.
Finland

4- This Nordic country is the birthplace of modern skiing (the word “ski” means “piece of wood” in the host language).
Norway

5- The northernmost of the Nordic countries.
Iceland (but it's really Norway)

I blew this question. I wanted Iceland because it's "situated" the northernmost, latitude-wise. Of course, three others creep a little farther north:



I should have asked for the nothernmost capital or just picked another question!

The true answer is Norway. But I accepted Iceland or Norway. I also may have thrown someone off based on my note stating each country is used twice. This isn't true because of this question. I can't unring that bell, so we'll all just live with my gaffe. My apologies.

It's probably Beebs' fault.

Finland

7- Abba, The Cardigans, Roxette and Ace of Base all originated from this Nordic country.

I thought I was blowing it by ignoring the "each answer is used twice" clue, but I really couldn't think how I could change my answers to make that work.
