0 - 5 correct: Looks like you need to brush up on your Nobel Peace Prize trivia. Start by trying to work toward fraternity between nations, for the abolition or reduction of standing armies, or for the holding and promotion of peace congresses.

5 - 10 correct: Not bad. You clearly know your Hammarskjölds from your Söderbloms. But do you know your Lundestads from your Sverdrups? Didn't think so.

10 - 15 correct: Nice work! You probably deserve a Nobel Peace Prize yourself! (Just kidding. It'll take more than a good quiz score.)

16 or more correct: If there were a Nobel Prize in Mathematics, you wouldn't win it.

TAKE THE NEXT QUIZ: Are you smarter than an atheist? A religious quiz

The name Bofors is strongly associated with a 40 mm anti-aircraft gun, which was used by most of the western Allies during the Second World War. The Bofors gun remained in widespread service well into the 1980s, and is still used today in an air-to-ground role by the US Air Force's AC-130 gunships. Today, Bofors is split in two parts and is owned by BAE and Saab.
