It must have been fun finding out about the data, too. :)
The correct answer would be Austria-Hungary. There were many female Nobel Peace Prize winners before Wangari Maathai. She was the first AFRICAN female Nobel Peace Prize winner - did you mean this?
I don't know why someone would feature this in its current state, where a single read-through of the quiz would catch a lot of these problems. If it were only that Benin and South Korea were in the question, or only that the first female Nobel Peace Prize winner was not Kenyan, or only that a second country now accepts Bitcoin, or only the grammatical and spelling errors, or only the official language questions being wrong and too generic, or only the time limit, or maybe two of those, I would have something more constructive to offer, but as is... this quiz just needs serious work to even really be called a quiz.
Do you want to change the question "South Koreans are already one year old when born" to "People from this country are already one year old when born"
