1. Crap! I blew the "flip the boat over" one.
Also didn't know that you should cut your potato with the fork in Germany. I thought it was a trick question, since it's understood that knife and fork are always in one's hands anyway.

Oh, well.

I got the rest of 'em!

I knew the right hand thing from a Hitchcock movie. Guessed about the fork because it's considered rude in France to cut your salad up with a knife, so it influenced my guess (for the wrong reasons of course.)
