Choklad mörk So some of these names actually means something, "Choklad mörk" is simply "chocholate dark". "Förslutas" is "to be sealed". "Klunka" is "gulp down". Others are place name. For instance "Kallax" is an airport up north. And speaking of place names, recently I checked their web site to see their sofas and my jaw dropped when they had one called Färlöv - that's the neighbouring village to the one I grew up in! And if my result is poor - I had to guess the most of them. Pax is the only one I know, and Grönsakskaka was quite obvious. > ** Game 2, Round 10 - Challenge Round - X Marks the Spot > B2.
