Just last fall I created and taught an advanced-undergrad course “The Geography of Europe,” including two whole weeks on the history and geography of the EU, and I confess I got several of these questions wrong.

Not the ones that were obviously designed to expose unfounded fears among many Britons about the reach of EU legal power, though.

8/9, missed the first one (mostly _because_ I thought it wouldn’t be on there if it didn’t have a counterintuitive answer, though).
