I'm pretty sure the Scandinavia consist of Denmark, Sweden and Norway. And the Nordic countries are Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Finland and Iceland. But I'm not 100% sure :-)

In this case, though, I was wrong. :) I changed the quiz to "Nordic people".

I'd say "Leif" would be a better answer than "Erikson" when searching for Leif Ericson. I had tried all kinds of things (Leif, Leifur, Leif the Lucky, Leif Eriksson...) before going for Erikson and getting it.

Everything was going well until I got to figure skating. I wouldn't know who won figure skating gold in 2014, let alone 1928.

Heinie is not that obscure; she became a well known Hollywood actress. Most, if not all, of her roles, however, did include her skating.

Leif Ericsson is usually spelled Eriksson in Scandinavia. Both spellings should be ok.
