Well, if you hadn't got 15/15 then you would have to say goodbye to all that SVK-SLO mixup criticism.

12/15, missed the potatoes, guessed the Narnia thing right and forgot the other two wrong answers  

 

Thanks to hckosice I knew about the castles  

 

And if the Novo Mesto question wouldn't have mentioned Melania Trump I would definitely have said Slovakia because I thought it'd be some sort of Czechoslovak brotherhood between Nove Mesto and Novo Mesto  

 

Good result buddy, but I´m sure you still can do better

 

you´re welcome. yeah we have castles almost in every city and chateaux in almost every village some of them are just marvelous, if I can suggest you to visit at least one of them it will be hard to choose only one, but for sure I´ll present you https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bojnice_Castle  ,   pictures

or one of the largest castle sites in Central Europe https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spiš_Castle

and the famous castle where many movies has been filmed https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orava_Castle

 

In slovak it´s Nové Mesto. Hopefully you see the difference

Very good result. From all questions, I think the hardest should be the Vojvodina official language thing, because not everyone can know that, but for the others I think it´s more or less easy even to guess correctly.

No

 

I honestly don't see how these questions are 'more or less easy to guess correctly'  

 

 

- Whose declaration of independence on 25 June 1991 was followed by the Ten-Day War?

 

- World-renowned artist Andy Warhol was born as Andrej Varchola to parents who emigrated to the United States from which country?

 

- Who was chosen as one filming location of Prince Caspian, the second in The Chronicles of Narnia film series due its resemblance to New Zealand (where the complete first movie was shot)?

 

- Who is home to the highest wooden altar in the world in the Renaissance church of the medieval town of Levoča?

 

- Whose major international airport is called Jože Pučnik Airport and has the three-letter code LJU?

 

- Who is home to the Society for the Recognition of Roasted Potatoes as a Distinct Dish that organizes the the annual World Roast Potato Festival?

 

- Whose official name in its native language is Slovenská republika?

 

 

Varchola sounded Czech to me --> Slovakia

Levoca sounded both Slovak and Slovenian to me

Joze Pucnik, no idea how that sounded

Slovenska, I only knew because you once said it here.

 

How would I know where a random movie I've never even seen or had any interest in was filmed?  

 

Or how would I know which country has the World Roast Potato Festival?

And the Tina Maze one, those are two questions that will get you kicked out of Totallympics if you have them wrong

okay if you say it this way, it looks less easy now

 

Andy Warhol is most likely the most famous celebrity with slovak descents, also together with Jon Bon Jovi or Paul Newman Angelina Jolie´s father had slovak grandparents too (from Košice )
