"Okurayama" and 15% pick somewhere other than Japan. I really don't know what is going on here anymore!
Wyla Reedy
It sounded Japanese.

Let's see. 🤔 Hmmm... a Japanese named ski jump, with the options of Japan and 3 European countries. What could it be? 🙄 SMH
And 1 in 7 couldn't deduce the correct answer. Unbelievable!

Unless the German and French languages have been abandoned for Japanese, Japan is the obvious answer.

earlepg, 10% chose Austria, which they probably thought was actually Australia and picked it because "They got funny names for things down there".
