You can guess, though. And what would one expect the first guess to be? Also, the quiz is about the company, not the man.

Surprised so many missed Foxconn. They're one of the largest employers in the world. Bigger than any other company on this list, in fact. And they are certainly in the news more often than Baidu, ING, or Jumex.

Yeah, weird that no one has heard of a Taiwanese contract manufacturer that does not market its own products. Boggles the mind.

I mean: I've certainly heard of Foxconn. I know a bit about what they do and what they make. I have owned (and been aware of owning) several Foxconn products.

But until today I hadn't the foggiest clue they were Taiwanese. If you'd asked me I would have guessed they were American. I got the answer on this quiz mostly through guessing / process-of-elimination (a.k.a.: "What countries with big software and electronics manufacturing sectors don't already appear as other answers on this quiz?").

Knowing about Foxconn and knowing where they're based are two rather different things.

Whenever I see Foxconn in the news, it's almost always about soul-crushing, dystopian labor issues related to manufacturing Apple's iPhones in China.

For political reasons and all the intense, militaristic sabre rattling, that put Taiwan as about the last place in the world I expected it to be headquartered. I didn't even consider it and I'm still quite surprised by it.

Nokia Corp is still headquartered in Finland and listed in the Helsinki stock exchange. They make telecommunications equipment used by teleoperators worldwide. The mobile phones business is being sold to Microsoft along with the rights to use the Nokia brand, but Nokia remains a Finnish company (although not the huge enterprise & consumer brand it once was).

I got Foxconn, but I always thought it was (mainland) Chinese. I remember it was all over the news, when they had to install safety netting around their facilities, because their employees kept killing themselves by jumping off windows in protest of bad working conditions and low salaries.

Shouldn't the quiz be "Countries by Company", because we're trying to name the former thing given examples of the latter thing? That's the system followed in ones like "Countries by Flag" or "US State by Capitals"? There's a few on Jetpunk that are confusing like this
