Claes Nordenskiöld: Hello there! And welcome to the yearly news quiz – A 2002 Quiz, Well, how much can you remember of all the things that took place last year? I’m going to ask you eleven questions and if you answer them correctly you’ll end up with a name that was very much related to the news last year.
Now, before we start, write the numbers one to eleven down the left- hand side of a piece of paper. OK? Let’s get started, here’s the first clue. Listen carefully and good luck!
Walt Disney’s latest animated movie is about Lilo – a little girl on Hawaii who lives with her sister and suddenly gets an unexpected visitor from another planet. At first she thinks that it’s just a fisty dog, but soon enough she realizes that it’s much more than that. What is the name of Lilo’s friend and co-star? Write the first letter of the name at number 8. Their names make up the movie’s title.

Write the first letter in the name of the city at number 1.

Number 1 was A – for Athens, Greece, where the next Summer Olympics will be held. Number 2 was F – for ”Fallin’”, Alicia Keys’ hit song. Number 3 was G – for General Elections, a little tricky I think… Number 4 was H – for Harare, the Zimbabwean capital city. Number 5 was A – for Argentina. Number 6 was N – for Netherlands, The Netherlands or Holland. Number 7 was I – for Islam. Number 8 was S – for Stitch, as in Disney’s movie Lilo & Stitch. Number 9 was T – for Turkey, and their excellent football team. Number 10 was A – for Asia, the continent where Myanmar is located. And finally 11, which was N – for Nelly Furtado.
And the quiz answer this year is – AFGHANISTAN – an Islamic country which, despite severe problems, hopefully will move towards a more democratic rule where men, women and children may live their daily life with enough food to eat and without the threat of war and violence.
Hope you’ve enjoyed listening to this quiz as much as I’ve enjoyed putting it together. The sampled music you heard in the background between the questions were Eminem’s ”Without Me” and Peter Gabriel’s ”No Way Out”. And here’s some more of Nelly Furtado’s ”On the Radio”. Thanks for listening, and bye for now.
