	Totally guessed on the Swedish one...fun quiz!

	jkoper:	May 10th, 2012 at 04:20 GMT		10 points
	The IKEA one is tougher than the rest of them combined. Man, pulling that guess out of nowhere (with just a little deductive reasoning) was so satisfying.

	ChristinaD:	May 10th, 2012 at 05:11 GMT		66 points
	I guessed on the Swedish one too. Unfortunately, I guessed ABBA.

	You mean to tell me operating boom isn't a real thing? Oh, darn.

	I'm Swedish and I didn't figure out the IKEA one... I feel slightly stupid

	Oh that is what SNAFU really means...learn something new everyday.

	deugea:	May 10th, 2012 at 07:30 GMT		16 points
	That's not what SNAFU means. Substitute a differed word for "fouled" (same number of letters, swap out "oul" for "uck") and you've got the right answer.

	@demonopie: That one is in the original game of this series.

	Considering I'm getting surgery to repair my ACL this summer you'd think I'd be able to guess that acronym. You'd be wrong.

	Forbsey:	May 10th, 2012 at 09:25 GMT		29 points
	@ahef1963 - hope the surgeon repairing your ACL in the OR isn't the role played by NPH or it could end up a PITA.

	Isn't the amount of playtime your spouse allows you on the weekends (over a period of time) your Earned Fun Average??

	hibernia:	May 10th, 2012 at 11:16 GMT		11 points
	That's Swedish, eh? I thought it was some really bad pig latin.

	CORE, DINO, HRH, NPH, FCUK all new to me.

	Great quiz.. a lot more fun than i expected it to be.

	Zak6009:	May 10th, 2012 at 14:50 GMT		2 points
	I wish I knew how do identify/tell apart most foriegn languages, then I might have been able to guess.

	Damn you IKEA, you caused me an incomplete quiz AND arpel unnel yndrome!

	Whew, grad school finally comes through in the clutch, months before my student loans are all paid off. The first case study we had in b-school was about that Swedish company. Thanks Prof Dewenter! Without you I'd never have gotten that one. Sitting in one of Ingvar's chairs as I type this.

	Building on IKEA, for What's Left 5 you might consider the very difficult clue "brecht scount" (ALDI).

	kidcanada:	May 10th, 2012 at 18:58 GMT		1 point
	Check the OR - ya like it so far?

	Gieron:	May 10th, 2012 at 19:17 GMT		1 point
	@hibernia It's not technically Swedish because Ingvar Kamprad Elmtaryd Agunnaryd are all proper nouns.

	Phi Zeta Kappa isn't a thing?

	dancastro:	May 10th, 2012 at 20:49 GMT		-1 points
	@Kiratroid: in fact, I first tried chi beta kappa and was thinking of entering other combinations of Greek letters until getting the right one. I guessed that it should be a fraternity but didn't know the real name Phi Beta Kappa (the other combinations, seemingly, have no meaning).

	First I get screwed over by lutefisk, now IKEA, what's an Italian woman supposed to do????

	featherfish81:	May 12th, 2012 at 05:06 GMT		3 points
	I too was trying combinations of Greek letters, and was getting very frustrated. I could only think of zeta, eta, and theta, and at the very end pulled out beta.
