If I'm correct, .ch is the shortened form of Confoederatio Helvetica (Confederation Helvetica), or the Latin version of the Swiss Confederation.

For the third one: Panama is south of Costa Rica, but Honduras is not south of Nicaragua. That one is a little confusing for that reason. Overall good quiz though!

Could you put us out of our misery Quizmaster - what's the analogy for this one?

Jul 26, 2021
Agreed. That one made no sense. I tried Mexico, Belize and Guatemala, but even after I saw the answer was meant to be Nicaragua I couldn't see how it makes sense. I suspect it was a mistake by the quizmaster.

Can somene explain how Freedom Tower and the Shard are similar!? Beyond both being ehhh towers. Canary Wharf (or whatever it's called now) is also a tower. As is the Gherkin, and the BT tower. Yet the answer is the Shard?

Helvetia is the female personification of Switzerland. (sort of like Marianne is for France) You see it on all of their coins. So Switzerland is the Confederatio Helvetica.

I don't get the analogy of Panama : Costa Rica = Honduras : Nicaragua

I think it should be the otherway round?

Panama is to Costa Rica = Nicaragua is to Honduras

The analogy is the 2nd country is SOUTH of the 1st country. So either Honduras is to Guatemala OR Nicaragua is to Honduras

I mixed up Aoraki and Aotearoa and though Aoraki was what the indigenous people called New Zealand. Was trying to think of what the Native Americans called the US. 18/22
