ok,
again thx for all the replies.
i've been reading the replies with real interest. Seen some surprising stuff (for me personally that is, I'll post them randomly as I don't really know how to use the quotes:
-the language question is really interesting, I'll wait another day with the answer to see some more replies
-i'm glad most people know our flag and form of government, as well as the dominant religion.
And I have to agree that question 10 is biased by posting in this forum, but it's a team assignment so I can guarantee an unbiased result 
- only one person knows some belgian companies (congrats, although you made a slight error with the beer company ), really curious to see if there are more to follow.
otherwise I've had quite some laughs with questions 3, 4 ( dull  ) and 9, thx for that.
I'll be looking forward to more replies and post the correct answers for the knowledge questions tomorrow.
Merci & goedenacht!
