Well I know the first five, 7, and 10. I know LUX is the smallest (and shouldn't 9a be Belgium?) Don't know the population or the number of provinces, without looking it up.
Ik zal maar niet meedoen ;)
hahahaha........

I LOVE this quiz but confess I don't have all the answers. :)
Fun post! I have to go do some research! :D :D
I feel the same way as EG, LOVE your quiz, but I don't have all the answers either! You are so clever, Wil!! Hope your week is off to a great start!!

Well, I know some of the answers, but not all of them. I might not have known more than two or three if we hadn't visited there.
I like your photo.

What a great way to combine Q and our world. I know some but not all of the answers.
Hey, this was interesting! :) Fun post.
I didn't know the answers to all. The answers will follow I hope.
I enjoyed your quiz, even though I didn't know all the answers. What a great 'Q' post.
Wonderful quiz. Could not answer them without help. Thanks for haring.
I started to answer the questions and then realised that I wasn't as confident in my knowledge of the Netherlands as I thought. I had to resort to Wikipedia!
Sadly, I would have to Google them all, otherwise it would be a total guess.
I do hope you post the correct one so we can see how lacking we are in world geography.
Hi Wil,
I'm happy to email my answers if you can give me an address.
Number 8 is the toughest!! I am waiting to read the answer soon to come??
I'm so peeved - I knew the difference in questions 1 and 2, but mistranscribed them...
I knew some of them,was doubtful about some and didn't have a clue about some!! :) That covers all the Questions!! Now awaiting the Answers!! ;) Great Q-day post!! You made it very interesting by giving some food for thought!!
I think I got about 7. I do like quizzes.
Well now if I googled the answers it wouldn't really be me knowing them!

I am embarrassed to admit I don't know most of the answers. I thought I did but alas....
Your's is a beautiful country that I long to visit someday. I like this Quiz for the letter Q.
A great quiz. Thank you.
1c, 2a, 3c, 4b, 5c, 6 - don't know, 7c, 8 don't know, b smallest - c - largest, 10b.
(It's no use anyone copying my answers because I'm offering no guarantees).
Hope I didn't get too many wrong!
Okay, you said for me to try, so I will. I do know some, and am guessing as to the others. E-mail on the way soon.

Wonderful array of questions. Makes me embarrassed for my lack of knowledge.
I knew a few, guessed some more and found it a delightful challenge!
Well, I can't answer them all, but do know quite a few. We visited the Netherlands in 1995, - the eastern part near Nijmagen where Charles' older brother is buried in the military cemetery. I found the country and the people charming, and was so impressed with the care given the graves of the Canadian soldiers.
I'm emailing my answers and I didn't cheat. Hope I win something! LOL

I knew too little about the Netherlands despite the number of Dutch immigrants I live among in west Michigan. Shame on me!

What interesting qhestions Wil. I love your country and came to see friends there last year. I know some of the answers to your questions but some are pure guesswork. I shall be interested to read the answers.
Here is my list:
1b, 2a, 3c, 4b, 5c, 6c?, 7c, 8a?,
9a and b and 10b.
A hard quiz lol.
Find out what Quiet is for my kids.
I am too embarrassed to email you my answers, but I am going to research each one so in the future if you ask me I will know what to say. Love the idea of the test. genie
I knew 1,2,3,4, 5,9,10, I think, but only because we were in the Netherlands and Belgium. Granted, I have a poor memory so I'm not absolutely sure. This was a lot of fun. I'll have to ask my husband what he remembers.
I'm sorry I missed this when it was first posted. I would have loved to have given it a shot!
