Le géopolitologue Gilles Gressani, confondateur de la revue Le Grand Continent, pose ce «paradoxe» dans le dernier ouvrage de sa revue consacré aux ennemis de l’Europe, alors que la Chine représente «la moitié de ce qui compte en géopolitique et en économie».
I just realised that you could just guess based on the country if you know the naming system well enough. For Iceland I thought of Olafur Waarge, Bjork, and then tried and failed to name the female prime minister/president around the 2008 finacial crisis and just threw out “Freya Thorsdottir” and it’s a person. No idea who the fuck she is, but she exists.
Teemu selanne, miikka kiprusoff, linus torvalds…
first 3 finnish people i could think of…
If i had to name 3 more, they’d also be hockey players, :(
Yeah I feel like sports fans probably do better than average on this quiz. Nationalities are quite prominently considered there.
