I tried Westfalen, When I saw it show up as westphalia I was glad it was accepted. I might have gotten it, but not a 100%

Edit unless I am missing something, only Westfalen and Westphalia are correct, it's original name and its english counterpart. (but ok, type- ins are often accepted, I guess I just find it a weird half and half mix, westfalia and westphalen)

There's the w-sound in the other Slavic languages as well, but it's usually transliterated from Cyrillic to Latin alphabet with a V (e.g. Volgograd, Varna)

Yea leicester- lester. Somehow it sounds like a person's name, and always makes me think of the adam's family.. I guess my mind combines Lurch and Fester... (had to look it up to see if there really wasnt a Lester..)

I had no idea waffles were actually Belgian. I thought that was just a made-up/nonsensical location-of-origin name, like French fries.

And what make you think that French Fries are a nonsensical made-up name? Did it ever occur to you that the first time anyone saw potatoes cut length-wise and fried was in France? (Pomme Frites).

Americans, Irish, the Swiss, Dutch, German, etc., had their favorite way of cooking potatoes (other than boiling), so why not the French?

Despite its name, the French fry is not French. The origins of the French fry have been traced back to Belgium, where historians claim potatoes were being fried in the late-1600s.

There could be some replacements to make this quiz a little bit less UK-centric. Possible answers could be: Wolfsburg, Würzburg, Wawel Castle, Wieliczka, Württemberg, Wilhelmshaven, Wolin

Still better than having HALF the questions refer to the UK in a European Geography quiz !

UK is relatively a tiny island (or islands) compared to Europe.

The UK is between Poland and Germany both in size and population. And since English, German, Polish and Dutch are the only major languages in Europe that use a W, and this site is predominantly used by native English speakers, it makes sense that about half of the questions are about the UK.

So, no airborne stadiums, no extraterrestrial stadiums, and no mobile stadiums. I guess underwater stadiums or floating stadiums would be fine, provided that they're anchored somewhere and can't move around too much.

Typicaly, you should ask google for the answer as it usually takes much longer for Jetpunk (over 7 months) to give you the answer.
