We've spent almost every winter there for more than a decade, so I guess I know it well enough.

1. What is the capital city or administrative capital of Switzerland? There isn't an official capital although everyone thinks Bern is IT.

2. What currency is used in Switzerland? Swiss Franc.

3. List the national symbols of Switzerland: White on red cross, and those very long and cumbersome brass horn

4. What are the official languages or the ones used the most on a day-to-day basis? Depends on the canton. German, French, Italian. All three most of the time, plus English of course. After all, what does one do during après-ski in Switzerland? One practices one's many languages and adds one more to one's repertoire.

5. Share with us the national motto: Same as Three Musketeers. One for All, All for One.

6. Define Switzerland in one word: Matterhorn.
