The Poland questions

Czechia is a wrong choice for Warsaw and again for Poland's flag and outline. In the flag round the other choices are Indonesia, Austria and Czechia. The shape question offers Germany, Ukraine and Czechia. Czechia is on both lists.

One trivia question is “In what country is Krakow?” (Poland). Then: “Which country uses the zloty as its currency?” (Poland). In numbers we hold a population of 38 million. Usedom and Katowice, two of 19 Poland photos, are marked easy; Gdynia is marked hard.

Every Poland question, with streaks and a leaderboard, is in the app.
