    I would guess three.

    As an aside how could Iceland's first woman MP be called Ingibjörg H. Bjarnason?

    Three is correct, they are in between the numbers for the year the building was built.

    I do not know why Ingibjörg chose to be Ingibjörg H. Bjarnason. The H is for Hákonardóttir. Inga chose to use Bjarnason instead of the usual Hákonardóttir I have no ideas why, except her father died when she was 10 years and it may be to honour him or not to confuse with a Norwegian queen.

    In a similar way Heiðar Helguson uses his mothers name Helga instead of his fathers Sigurjón.

    Éire?

    Possibly even Easter Island if it's classified as a country...

    Yes BB, Eire named after Ériu matron goddess of Ireland and daughter of Ernmas.

    I hadn't thought of Easter Island, but it isn't a country.

    With the upsurge of food banks in mind, what was special about this tasty dish?

    Medium rare T-bone steak
    Eggs over easy
    Hash browns

    It has no green vegetables and would probably give palpitations of excitement to your heart surgeon.
