Tsk tsk, silly Americans, it's Reykjavík, Kópavogur, Hafnarfjörður and Fjarðarbyggð. See? Easy.

[–]Lalli-Oni 7 points8 points ago

I know everyone is dying to know, the real answer is FJARÐARBYGGÐ! 'Lo and behold, your savior has released you from the eternal torment of not knowing useless information! Messiah of Reddit has blessed you with his crap knowledge.

Þú ert sá sem mun leiða okkur.

I don't know what you are saying but someone else upvoted your comment so I felt like I should do the same.

[–]n343 2 points3 points ago

How does this even happen? I can't figure out how you get the spelling wrong? Did they somehow try to remember the spelling rather than just copying it from...anywhere online?

As a weird trivial pursuit fact about trivial pursuit, the two most common answers in the original Genius edition are Reykjavík and Muhammad Ali, which were both the answers to 7 different questions. So the advice you can take from this is that if you don't know an answer to a Geography question, guess Reykjavík and if you don't know one to sports, guess Muhammad Ali.

And the most trivial thing in the history of our civilisation would be Muhammad Ali in Reykjavík.

Funniest SNL skit ever. Saw it originally a year ago. Still laugh my ass off from this. My makeup lady is half paparican.

Holy repost Batman!

[–]grumpypotato 0 points1 point ago

It's Kopavogur, right?

[–]xbxmet14 0 points1 point ago

I googled around last time I saw this, and all of the cities seemed to be about the same distance from the volcano, give or take a few miles.
