abrealey

We celebrated our 25th anniversary with a quiz that was open to all clients old and new. The questions all related to 1999, the year in which E.P.A. Language Services was founded. Please see below for the answers.

 

Question 1

Which new currency was launched in 1999?

Answer: The euro, which today is the official currency of 20 out of the 27 EU member countries.

 

Question 2

What was voted “one of the 10 worst business ideas of 1999” and is now a global success story?

Answer: PayPal, which now has 426 million active users worldwide.

 

Question 3

Which OECD country only officially recognised its own flag in 1999, despite having used it for over a century?

Answer: Japan; prior to the Act on National Flag and Anthem passed in 1999, the country had no official flag or anthem.

 

Thank you to everyone who responded – the questions proved trickier than we anticipated. The first ten winners will be contacted by email by the end of October 2024.
