You might want to change on of the questions. I guessed Carpathian before I saw the car question, meaning I automatically got that one first

Level 70

Nov 18, 2020

This - plus I don't think it took Carpathian, only "pathian" which I didn't think to try

Level 88

May 31, 2020

Actually, just changing the order of the questions would solve the problem.

Level 85

May 31, 2020

Yeah, and might want to put the two ethnic group questions next to each other.

Level 67

May 31, 2020

For the car question, replace the word 'was" with "were". Grammar is not correct.

Let's stone him. How dare he/she point out the correct grammar when the way that the sentence was originally written sounded perfectly stupid. I mean, who doesn't mixes singular verb with plural subject, and vice versa? What are the big deal?

Level 35

There’s an obvious reason why Koruna is no longer the currency of this country

Level 80

Aug 4, 2020

Why? Is it because the word 'koruna' is of Czech origin?

Level 60

Aug 10, 2020

....Is this a serious reply? I hope it isn't.

Level 80

Oct 27, 2020

According to the Oxford Dictionary of English, koruna is the currency of the Czech Republic, and means 'crown' in Czech.

Level 54

Jan 27, 2021

I believe this currency change has something to do with Slovakia becoming part of Europian union...correct me if I´m wrong :D

Level 55

not necessarily. Not all EU countries use the Euro.

Korunavirus!!!!!

Isn't it amazing how that word and its various spellings have taken on a new meaning?

Level 81

Oct 26, 2020

Same root. Both from the Latin corona meaning crown. The virus so named because it appears under magnification to be surrounded by a crown or halo.

Carpathians certainly don't cover most of Slovakia. Tatra Mountains do. Carpathians only start in the very easter tip of Slovakia, spaning over Ukraine and Romania.

Level ∞

Jun 18, 2020

Tatra mountains are part of the Carpathians.

Level 54

Jul 24, 2022

As Quizmaster said, Tatra mountains are part of the Carpathians, and even if they weren't, they definitely don't cover most of Slovakia

Didn't Etanna already make this quiz in 2014 here?

Happened to me. One of my quiz ideas was used a year later by scambigol i think. It got over four times the takes

I'm afraid your per capita castle answer is way off , Slovakia has population of 5.5 million. And roughly 100 castles . Plus manor houses. Whereas Wales has population of slightly more than 3 million and has over 600 castles , AND if was not counting Wales just UK then should of specified ,as most questions involve Scotland somewhere . So if Scotland accepted so is Wales as os england and northen Ireland , .Wales in summing up has half population and 6 times more castles

Since this is a quiz in the COUNTRY quiz category it is implied that we are talking about per capita for countries.

Level 81

Oct 26, 2020

Wales is not a sovereign country. No need to specify.

Level 84

Jun 12, 2022

"...most questions involve Scotland somewhere"? What are you trying to say? What does this quiz have to do with Scotland? I'm so confused trying to parse whatever this comment is trying to say

I lived in Slovakia for 9 months drank a lot of beer (Zlaty Bazant) and spirits (Tatratea, Borovicka, Slivovica). The only dish I remember liking a lot was Halusky. Young slovaks are open and most of them speak English, while the older generations are colder. Autumn is beautiful, winter is really cold and dark, spring is full of mosquitos, and summer is perfect. I travelled all around the country, it is filled with beautiful forests, mountains and small villages. Also visited a gypsie borough in Kosice called Lunik IX which was really shocking you should check it out. Dakujem a dovidenia.

Thanks for the travel brochure. Now we really know all about Slovakia. :)

Level 71

Me too, I did a student exchange there 25 years ago. I lived in Nitra but I was able to travel around so I also got to see a bunch of different places, I was extremely lucky. I still remember the place with a great deal of fondness.

Although I have unfortunately lost my fluency with the language, it's weird how you can become so immersed that you have dreams in Slovak and then years later through lack of use need to look up 75 percent of the words you need in a dictionary to write a letter.

Level 57

1939-1945 Slovakia was not part of Czechoslovakia, firstly because unified Czechoslovakia didnt exist during this time and secondly Slovakia was a member of Axis in WW2 at that time as an independent country

These country quizzes are nothing if not enjoyable, as well as very educational.

I'm not sure ice hockey is still the most popular sport:

But great quiz, nonetheless! The castles answer was a complete surprise to me!

He doesn't warrant mention on a quiz for the general public in 2020, but I need to give a shoutout to my man Zigmund Palffy, the first athlete I really loved as a kid.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slovak_koruna

can "crown" be accepted? It's a direct translation and an alternate name according to Wikipedia

Level 38

Ice hockey is quite popular in Slovakia compared to some other countries but it's far from the most popular sport which is football

Level 55

Sep 5, 2023

I wouldnt say, Im Slovak but at least in my part of country (Im from the west of Slovakia) ice hockey is far more popular.

slovak koruna doesnt work...

Level 82

Please accept the full "Carpathian" for the mountain range

Level 80

Mar 9, 2023

Why include the first three letters of the mountain range?

Level 71

Jan 25, 2024

Great quiz! Could you accept Carpathian for that answer, instead of just Pathian, please, since that is the right answer?
