We came close to winning last night's quiz at "The Hammer & Pincers" but failed on the tie break question which was "In what year was the Australian Air Force first formed?" Of course all Australians - including Andrew and Elsie - would know the answer to this question straight away but we were not sure. I knew that Australians were involved in flying war planes during World War One so we put down 1917 but unfortunately the solution was 1921. The Australian Flying Corps had earlier been formed in 1912. It was a shame to miss out on the top quiz prize yet again.
For this week's quiz in the blogosphere, I considered different themes. Not that it was ever planned this way, but the vast majority of visitors to this blog have been westerners. However, even within that blanket category there are many different shades. What might we expect a Canadian to know with regard to general knowledge? What about an Australian? In recent weeks I have been receiving a lot of "hits" from Singapore and Hong Kong. What might we expect residents from these locations to know?
By the way, by far the greatest number of visits to "Yorkshire Pudding" come from The United States and Great Britain (often referred to as The United Kingdom).
Okay, what about a theme for this week's quiz. I have decided to make up one question for each of this blog's top ten visiting nations which are in order: United States, United Kingdom, France, Singapore, Canada, Russia, Australia, Germany, Hong Kong and Sweden.
