Hi all
Thanks to Dan B for running RQ #305.
Answers to RQ #306 will be marked this Friday 21/9/18 Australian eastern time. which will be Thursday for many of you. So you have about 4 days. Usual rules apply- no googling, phoning a friend, or discreet coughing.
There are currently 27 European members of NATO, and 28 members of the EU.
Which five countries are in NATO, but not the EU?
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
Name any five of the six countries that are in the EU, but not NATO.
6.
7.
8.
9.
10.
Ties will be awarded to entrant/s who got the harder subset of questions correct, and if still tied by posting order.
Good luck!
cheers,
calvin

Oh dear. I'll probably have several wrong, and I can't even guess
at one of the lists.
