    Scandinavian first, Irish last.

    Yank in second place It's definitely wrong.

    I know where Addis Ababa is.

        But do you know where Addis Abeba is, without googling?

        And what kind of nationality is 'Scandinavian' ? Come to think of it, 'American' is a bit vague too.

          Of course, even if they seem to have spelled it wrongly.

            French, Italian, American. My actual nationality (Scottish) isn't on the list.

              The spelling is why I went for 'Not sure'

                I'll guess that Addis Abebe is now sitting down for lunch after his morning run.

                  Anyway, how can I be 'not sure' whether I know where Addis Abeba is?
                  I'm 'not sure' whether they mean the capital of Ethiopia.

In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson
