	The Country is called UK, not England or Great Britain, so that's correct. I don't see what the 5 are though. Brazil, Mexico, India, China, South Africa. That's a bit random, now?

	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.

	Oi first Sam, say that right into a Scotsmans face. Don't be suprised if you're lying on the ground in two seconds. Pretty easy quiz.

	indeedity:	Nov 24th, 2008 at 02:43 GMT	-1 points
	Sam, as an English/Scottish half-breed, I have to agree with Massagraf... Great Britain is an acceptable alternative for U.K., but England is not. (We call ourselves by the individual country names, e.g England, N. Ireland, Scotland, Wales or for the olympics we call ourselves Team G.B. We don't tend to call ourselves the U.K). I hope that doesn't sound like a lecture, just trying to clear it up for you!

	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).

	A_is_for_Addict:	Nov 28th, 2008 at 01:31 GMT	-1 points
	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.

	I feel so stupid for forgetting India :(

	Dystopian:	Dec 23rd, 2008 at 16:02 GMT	2 points
	After typing South Africa, I surprised myself by already being finished with the quiz. Good job.

	starboy7:	Jan 11th, 2009 at 06:25 GMT	0 points
	I almost forgot south africa

	Kitnaz:	Jan 28th, 2009 at 00:44 GMT	0 points
	i knew the G8 anyway, but South Afirca, Brazil, India and Mexico really baffled me...

	Ely:	Feb 9th, 2009 at 00:23 GMT	-2 points
	God, we're so mean to Africa and Oceania - maybe they should get up in there

	tommy sumagui:	Feb 25th, 2009 at 14:29 GMT	1 point
	i knew g8.the other 5 is unknown to me,but after 5 guesses,i only missed india.wow,i cant believe it.

	pbrown:	Mar 15th, 2009 at 06:05 GMT	1 point
	wow, i just guessed random countries and got all 13

	yodatron:	Mar 17th, 2009 at 05:31 GMT	0 points
	but now the G8 is the G20 so i think we need either a revised quiz or a new one

	Cryptus:	Mar 17th, 2009 at 21:34 GMT	2 points
	@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 19th, 2009 at 01:50 GMT	1 point
	Pretty easy. I'd say blokes.

	Douglas Mckeever:	Apr 2nd, 2009 at 06:49 GMT	1 point
	@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.

	bleech128:	Apr 15th, 2009 at 22:46 GMT	0 points
	what's a G8 country anyway?

	Spared_Cargo:	May 4th, 2009 at 06:33 GMT	2 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 21:19 GMT	2 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 25th, 2009 at 02:35 GMT	3 points
	They might as well call is G(#) or else it is going to be G8+5-2+7-1 +2

	GeoExpert:	May 25th, 2009 at 02:35 GMT	1 point
	and so forth

	GeoExpert:	May 25th, 2009 at 02:37 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 08:20 GMT	-1 points
	Easy. Cool, though.
