2: Which king is generally counted as the most important Swedish king, and is currently on the Swedish 1000 Kronor bill?

3: What was the name of the Swedish Secretary General of the UN who died in a plane crash in 1961?

7: What is the name of the Swedish multi role fighter currently produced by SAAB?

8: What is the name of Sweden's biggest lake?

9: What colours are present in the Swedish flag?

10: Who is the personification of Sweden in the same way that Uncle Sam is the personification of the US?
