You didnt get it by the more obvious clues Nokia and sauna? those should have atleast directed you to Nordic countries/Scandinavia, so would leave only a few to guess between.

I did not know the Horn of Africa denotes the region containing the countries of Eritrea, Djibouti, Ethiopia and Somalia. I thought it was just Somalia, but I couldn't think of the name in time anyways.

Is it just me, or does the Horn of Africa refer to the southern tip? If so, Djibouti is in eastern Africa, not the Horn.

No you are referring to South Africa, or the cape of good hope
+3
Level 84
Aug 17, 2015
Maybe you're confusing the southern tips of the continents - Cape of Good Hope is associated with Africa (although it's not the southernmost point) and Cape Horn is associated with South America. In any case, "horn" when associated with Africa refers to the "point" (and vicinity) in the northeastern area.

I thought the Horn was the western side where it sticks out. I expected it to be Sao Tome and then was lost. Are you sure it's the eastern side?

Isn't Khyber Pass in Pakistan? I know it 'cause I'm Pakistani. It links Landi Kotal to Peshawar, and only a minute part is in Afghanistan. So it can't be a clue, as the majority is in Pakistan. By the way nice quiz, and that Djibouti clue is actually funny.

Im surprised there isnt any arguing about the clues. In every other quiz people liked to complain. And then it is about facts. What a country is known for is quite subjective. If you'd ask 100 different people you d get 100 different lists.

if it was possible that might be interesting. Putting up a country and see what people think it is famous for.

let me see the first things that come to my mind for some of the countries above.

france-eiffeltower, australia-uluru, denmark-legoland, cuba-cigars.
