     No other nation on earth could have come up with the phenomenon that is the pub quiz. The Italians could never have invented the pub quiz, as they keep changing teams and it plays havoc with the scoring. The Spanish definitely didn't invent it as they don't go out until 11.30 at night and the pubs are shut by then, and anyway you can't think straight when you've had a late dinner.
