	Hugh: Canada, US, UK, Italy, France, Germany, Russia and Japan are the original G5 (Group of Five). Brazil, Mexico, India, China and South Africa form the so-called O5 (Outreach 5) which has lately been more or less included in G8 countries, forming "G8+5".

	Correction: Of course with "G5" I mean "G8". Weekends aren't for thinking.

It's understandable that one would think Great Britain would be an acceptable answer for the UK when considering the Olympics. However this is misleading as Great Britain omits Northern Ireland (see other posts by myself and davidr on practically any geography quiz including the UK for details). I don't understand why we aren't team UK (except that, in my opinion, team GB sounds better).

	Sorry, I was more offended that this other Sam was bringing shame upon my name by suggesting that England be an alternative answer for the UK. NO! JUST NO!

	Jenna: USA is an abbreviation of United States of America. England is one of the countries that makes up the United Kingdom. They're not the same thing.

	After typing South Africa, I surprised myself by already being finished with the quiz. Good job.

	@ely: south africa is there, so africa does get some say (!). However, I must say I'm surprised that australia isn't there and italy is

	erikw8:	Mar 18th, 2009 at 21:50 GMT	1 point
	Pretty easy. I'd say blokes.

	Codex:	Apr 2nd, 2009 at 02:49 GMT	2 points
	@cfcno1fan: Easy enough, Italy has a much larger economy than Australia. South Africa is partly there for political reasons however. There are larger economies than South Africa's, who aren't included.

	what's a G8 country anyway?

	Spared_Cargo:	May 4th, 2009 at 02:33 GMT	3 points
	haha.. I love how if you answer three or less you don't even get a bar.. basic geography gets you at least three..

	leSporc:	May 9th, 2009 at 17:19 GMT	6 points
	@yodatron - no it's not. the G8 and G20 are seperate entities. The G8+05 is an informal forum for international debate on any global subject, whereas the G20 is primarily concerned with the international financial system.

	GeoExpert:	May 24th, 2009 at 22:35 GMT	4 points
	They might as well call is G(#) or else it is going to be G8+5-2+7-1 +2

	GeoExpert:	May 24th, 2009 at 22:35 GMT	1 point
	and so forth

	GeoExpert:	May 24th, 2009 at 22:37 GMT	3 points
	They way they wrote it it seems like it is G40 because the parentheses suggest multiplying 8 time positive 5

	czechman:	May 31st, 2009 at 04:20 GMT	-2 points
	Easy. Cool, though.
