    Yeah I sat here trying to name three of:

    • Chinese people (Xi Jinping, Jack Ma, uhhh…)
    • French people (Marie Le Pen, Nicolas Sarkozy, uhhhhh damn my brain forgot the name of the current president even though I literally read about him earlier today)
    • Swedish people (the King and no I can’t remember what number of Carl he is, a Swedish friend, oh fuck I can’t remember the surname of my other Swedish friend)
    • Estonian people (Kaja Kallas, holy shit where do I go now, oh yeah the Disco Elysium guys: Argo Tuulik… fuck who was the main guy? Who was the money guy?)
    • Russian people (Vladimir Putin, Prigozhin-- wait he’s dead, ok what about the geopolitics guy on Twitter nuh uh can’t remember his name)
    • Americans who aren’t or weren’t the president or the vice president (drew a blank until I thought of the RedLetterMedia guys, then realized I forgot Mike’s last name, then cheated by remembering Mike Morhaime’s last name instead)

    And I’m not even on the spot in a studio. The human brain just doesn’t work that way.

    edit: and for context I’m Finnish, so I picked neighbouring countries that I should (and do) know people from

        Yeah I feel like sports fans probably do better than average on this quiz. Nationalities are quite prominently considered there.
