1.    For each city you must find the local currency that you used.

Have you read this far? I have three riddles - one Olson Dollar per riddle - to the first student. Tell Mr.Olson what the countries in blue all have in common (remember the log question?). What is a lorry in England? What country in the Nordic Nations has a famous campground where one can camp and see the Midnight Sun?
