Here's a quiz question for all you geography buffs out there: without looking at Wikipedia, Google, Google Maps, MapQuest, or any other search engine, can you name the three countries that border Luxembourg? Bonus points if you can name the official languages of this tiny European country. Double bonus if you can name the capital.
The person who can successfully complete the quiz will win my eternal awe and admiration.

Let's see...Switzerland, France and Italy?
Capital is called Luxembourg, I think. They probably officially speak French and German but, like most European countries, probably unofficially speak as many languages as the Dutch!!
Those are my honest guesses. Honestly. Wish me luck, I'm dying for your respect and admiration, Janet! HM
My guess is is Germany, Austria, and Switzerland and the official languages are German and French, can't even guess at the capital. :D
Belgium, France & Germany? Official languages: French, German and Walloon/Flemish? I think I've even been there.
I've seen the original sculpture depicted on the postcard--it's quite large. I saw it in the Centre Pompidou in Paris. It's fun to mentally untie that knot and see how long the gun barrel gets.
HM-UK: Nope, 2/3 yes, and yes.
As for having my respect and admiration, you'll always have that, darling!
Zanne: 1/3 yes, 2/3 yes.
JA: Yes, 2/3 yes.
France, Germany, and Belgium.
Luxembourgish.
Luxembourg.
...and their head of State is Grand Duke Henri, and his lovely wife Grand Duchess Maria Therese.
How'd I do?
GF: Yes, 1/3 yes, and yes. And, I think we'll throw in triple bonus points to you for knowing the name of the Grand Duke and Duchess.
