How about using the word "which" (a choice from a limited range of possibilities) rather than "what"?
Some of the questions came with a map where you could see the answer straight away if you looked closely. For exemple, the question about the capital of Nigeria would perhaps been a bit harder without seeing a map of Nigeria where the capital city is highlighted...
Well I got 21/25 and was feeling quite pleased with myself.
Same, though to be honest a couple were wild stabs and a couple others were coin toss after narrowing the field.
@@joekahno A "coin toss after narrowing the field." sounds like a valid test taking strategy.
Me too!
This quiz is a mixed bag: Some questions are extremely easy (do people really "struggle" with knowing that Athens is the capital of Greece?), one doesn't make any sense (#16: what country has the largest number of coastlines? What is a coastline? Do you mean the total length of the coast in km/miles, or do you mean how many oceans does it have coasts with, or something different altogether?
Hallo, sorry, I have a geography question of my own. Please try to answer before looking at the map:
Panama Canal runs from Panama City at the Pacific to Colòn at the Caribbean. Which of the two cities is farther to the east?
Colon
@@thomthom6268 Sorry, it's Panama. Why else should I have asked?
I have never heard the term "National River" . what does it mean ?
21/25. Got a bit confused by the "number of coastlines" question. What on earth does that mean ?
"What on earth does that mean ?"
Each island gets one coastline. In other words, "a coastline" is when you trace the junction of water and land, perhaps with your finger, until you reach your starting point or the end of a country. Australia has one coastline for the main continent, another coastline for Tasmania, and a little coastline for any other island. Canada has many large islands up north and each of them has a Canadian coastline.
20: Missed Malaysia capitol, Severn River, Galati, Oldest active volcano, Saudi Arabia being south and east of Jordan.
24/25, but got lucky with a couple. Taught Geography for 41 years so would have been annoyed to do badly. Most were easy questions but a couple were challenging.
Well done Paul!
Many questions are easier if you are European.
It was a very easy quizz so 25/25. But may be it is because I was educated in Europe where geography is taken very seriously?
What good is this if they give clues in the photo circle at lower right?
Questions were breezing a bit basic, at least for me (a 70 y.o. 7th-grader with a passport) but a few were tacking too remotely!
I was imagining some continuity of theme and randomness? For example--
* river systems are very popular in general interest sections lately, along with their relationships with the larger tributaries, agriculture rights and urban siphoning;
* or interior cities vs ocean port cities at rivers' mouth;
* or both-bank, twin-facing cities;
* or two-bank borders for two-nation trade traffic.
Altogether, riverine borders with two-nation twins, like Buda & Pest (but without Orban THE Pest) make interesting, coherent packages, and might even help folks remember the correct answers, I bet.
For History fans and Diplomacy scholars, there is endless interest in the grand sweep of Rome's Rhine & Danube "Limes," which functioned both as the limits for the imperial legions and battlements for resisting raids from "barbarians," (who were no less barbarous nor more stinky than archers, slingers or centurions who hadn't bathed since crossing the Po). These ancient Maginot lines were studded regularly with semi-permanent forts for burly but famished infantry (how many wild boar, migrating ducks and plump hares died to keep Rome secure for 800 years?).
Anyway, just some thoughts for maintaining the interest of those of us who think we're beyond capital-city and neighboring-country familiarity. In other words, 8th-graders like me!
I didn't quite understand the wording of the most coastlines? Does that mean touching most different oceans? Most miles of coastline? Had you clarified the question, I would've had the correct answer. I was stumped by Mt. Etna of all places!
A coastline is continuous. One for any particular landmass. Canada has many large islands, each of which has its own coastline.
@@thomasmaughan4798 Then I would've know that because Canada is full of islands. I've flown over several times and enjoy the vastness of Arctic Canada and Greenland.
@@ulfthegoon I flew over northern Canada once from Seattle to Copenhagen and it is vast and beautiful in a terrifying sort of way; particularly Baffin Island. Greenland was just one huge block of ice and not much to look at.
Seriously! Was this quiz for elementary pupils?
Or Americans?
Very easy.
I got everything but Galati. BUT! Which country has most number of coastlines. Canada? And not the totally sea surrounded country of Australia? The Canadian has a longer coastline by miles/kilometers. But it only has a southern coastline if you count Nova Scotia. And why not the island Greenland and not the country of Denmark? Who technically rules over it? Or the USA with its many islands and barrier reefs? IOW, how are you counting "number of coastlines"?
Badly worded question. After reading the comments, evidently I'm not alone in my assessment.
This how you Don't pronounce Galati city. I am Romanian and had no idea what city they were referring to.
This is good. Not easy and quite challenging. Some obscure questions, If you answered correctly all 25, you're in another league.
Thanks 😊
22/25 for me, I'm proud of knowing where Galati is.
24/25.Never heard of Galiti city. The rest was pretty easy. I suspect that you threw that one in to make sure nobody got a perfect score. You could at least have made it a multiple choice to give us a chance
More challenging questions, please!!
Agreed. These were easy.
@@carelgoodheir692very easy. I’m 11 and got 25/25
24/25, but really 23 because I had no idea what the capital of Nigeria was (I thought it was still Lagos, which was the capital when I was in school) until I glanced at the map in the video and saw it marked there. Not a good choice of visual on that one. The only other one I missed was Galati.
I also have no idea what is meant by "the largest number of coastlines". I guessed Canada because it has the most miles/km of coastline, but does the "number of coastlines" mean literally that, the number of non-contiguous stretches of coastline, so every island counts as one? Weird way to phrase the question.
Missed 4 , yes there is different ways to answer questions correctly on these quizzes
Got all 25. Next time please try a harder geography quiz.
Fun quiz. FYI, Greenland is a county of Denmark, not an independent nation. Also, Greenland is part of North America, so that makes the question about "where is Denmark" problematic.
Denmark is in the northern part of Western Europe
No Greenland is not a county of Denmark, Greenland is in commonwealth with Denmark. They have their own Parliament and their own flag and make a Lot of decisions themselves
2 difficult. The rest very easy
Ok 👌🏻
I got 22 of 25. I missed questions about things I'd never heard of such as the judicial territory of Indonesia and the city in Romania.
Please learn the difference between “what” and “which”. Also the tense of a sentence is important when trying to understand syntax.
I actually got 20 out of 25 answers correct. Let the banners ring and the bells fly. I am wondering about your source for the volcano question and how age is estimated North America has been moving over theYellowstone hot spot for such a long time.
Here are a few more thumbs up 😘🥰👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🌟🌟🌟🎉🌟🌟🌟🍏👋🤓👍
👍🏻👍🏻
Missed out on six,cheers.
23/25 92% reasonably pleased with that !
20/25. Good quiz.
The Denmark question was rather daft as it’s clearly in Northern AND Western Europe but I plumped for the right answer in the end. I don’t really see the problem with the question about the number of coastlines as Canada has two coastlines on its mainland and coastlines around places like Newfoundland and Prince Edward’s Island. Of course Australia has the coastline of some places like Tasmania to take into account but no doubt the number of coastlines is fewer.
Easy peasy lemon squeezy. I got 22 right.
8 wrong - didn't see that coming!
Wauw 🤩
17/25 and what does "the most coastlines" mean? That's not a clear question. Plus, isn't Denmark in Western Europe? That one's a bit ambiguous IMO.
Quite a nice quiz, but at times sloppily worded. For example, it is incorrect to ask what country has the largest number of coastlines, and then not to have the correct answer listed among the possible answers. The answer is clearly Sweden (with over 2 million islands, each with a coastline). Canada has easily the longest coastline. But thanks for the questions. I know geography well, but was thrown by the Malaysian capital.👍
22/25. Not bad for an old lady who only ever had one geography class in her life.
Got 22/25
You might consider removing the map showing the capital of Nigeria when asking what is the capital of Nigeria.
Got 20 correct.Not bad !
22 out of 25 with three or four lucky guesses. I'd never heard of Galati. Some questions were very easy - others less so.
19/25. What is meant by coastlines. A land mass has only one coastline, not several. The question is meaningless. My GGGrandfather lived in Galatz in the 1850's, and I failed to recognise that Galatz and Galati are the same place
"What is meant by coastlines."
A continuously traceable coastline that ends when you return to the start OR encounter an international border. Canada has many large islands up north and consequently many coastlines, one for each island.
@@thomasmaughan4798 Thank you for the clarification, I recon Oz would have to be up there along with Canada then, having a continuous coast line and many hundres of islands too.
I'm not that great in geography but I got the continent placement of all the countries correct. Didn't do so well with capitols and river lengths, some right and some wrong. I didn't count but I'm guessing 15-16 correct. I haven't studied geography since the 1950's.
19/25 never really excelled in geography, surprised myself.
The largest number of coastlines-what does that even mean?
Managed 19 correct answers
Very good 😊
I got 5 wrong, I am fairly good in Geography, was one of the top 3 students throughout my school days in,Kerala (India). - AndrewMathews
Got 22 which included one good guess 😂 Overall very simplistic.
Same score here, probably for the same reason you mentioned.
Yeah but it must be hellish difficult to know where to pitch the questions.
TRY:
Which nation uses as much electricity for everything as the US consumes on Christmas lights?
Which US National Park has reported it is suddenly short of a long established glacier?
Where did the last Dodo's live?
*simple, NOT "simplistic"
19/25 correct This had a few challenging questions
8th largest city of a country most people even don't know?
What does 'number of coastlines' mean? The more the islands, the more the coastlines in my book. Or did you mean the lenght of the coastline?
21/25 -could have been 23 but I jumped the wrong way twice!
Great score 👌🏻
18 correct
Well done 👍🏻
Great quiz even though I did not do very well! Thank you for uploading and sharing! 😊
Thank you 😊
Pretty easy. My dog only missed 2.
16 Correct
Good job 👏🏻
Good quizz i got 20 out of 25
I got 23 of the questions right. Fell down on Putrajaya, which I was clueless about. I got Galati wrong, although I really did know it at some point in my life!
Well done 👍🏻
Well Jemma, me too! Been a long time since I took a geography test!
16 correct.
I am a Geographer, but was unable to answer any of these questions.
Well, thats just great you made it official Im dumb as dirt.
Does this mean I have to repeat night school?
!
22/25. Aargh!
Haha good job almost 100% 🙌🏻
I miss five but I doubled guessed to my second answer was correct! Those old answers or things that haven't changed are easy!
I got 19 correct. I got the last one right. I couldn't believe it. I still need to improve my geography. Thanks for this video. Hopefully, the next time I'll do better.
The choice of Damascus(as the oldest with the biggest population) is more socio-cultural...historical than geographical...just a thought
Pretty comprehensive though.
Some v easy but couple of harder ones. 20.
I only got one wrong. But I did once work at the United Nations.
24 out of 25. A quiz that only a Yank would consider tough!
Nice 👍🏻
You are wrong on Denmark being in Northern Europe. Denmark is on the south side of the Baltic Sea and shares a border with Germany. Northern Europe is Norway, Sweden, Finland.
Hmm, looks like I need to brush up on capitol cities.
That was a well thought-out quiz with fair questions
Thank you!
Seems many disagree with that. We shouldn't have to guess the methodology being used.
@@thomthom6268 I'm not sure what that means, methodology? I like the well rounded questions
23/25. I missed two of the river questions, of all things.
I missed so many of these that I couldn't even keep up.
I got 21 out of 25. Not bad considering my last geography class was more then 40 years ago...
21/ 25 Good Quiz
The NUMBER of coastlines? Or the longest coastline?
20 correct answers.
Got 20/25. Some questions were tough. Rest was easy. Guessed right a couple times.
Very good 😊
Good quiz
Thanks 🙏🏻
24, good quiz, the Romanian question got me.
Amazing score 👏🏻
Exactly the same here.
21/25. Sixty two years since I passed geography at O-level. There were plenty I couldn’t have answered if they hadn’t been multiple choice - sort of, “Well, I know it’s not that and it’s definitely not Africa, so it must be Caracas”, reasoning.
Very good 😊
Got 4 wrong, good quiz!
much more interesting quiz without the choices
22/25; Questions wrong: 11, 17 and 19
Nice job 👍🏻
22 right, a couple were just guesses though.....
24/25, but I have always loved Geography so it comes as no surprise that I got a good score here. Just as well it was a geography quiz and not a science quiz as that would probably be round 2/25 for me.
19. I stopped taking Geography in 1972, so not too bad.
Very good 😊
80 % or 20 out of 25 answers correct. I had no idea about Putrajaya, I considered Galati to be in Turkey instead of Romania, Cairo to be older than Damascus (damn, I have been in both cities back in the 90s), Australia to have a larger coastline than Canada and the Yukon to be longer than McKenzie river. Two mistakes are connected to Canada - seems that I should travel there next 😂.
Unbelieveble! I made the same mistakes!
As an Australian, we all know that Canada has a longer coast line, purely because of all the islands in Canada.
The question was not " The longest single coast line ".
Even Norway has a longer coast line, again, because of islands.
actually, the question was "what country has the largest number of coastlines". I guessed Canada, but I still don't know what that was supposed to mean. Does each island count as having one coastline? did they mean "what country has the longest (aggregate) coastline"? or maybe "what country has coastlines on the largest number of oceans"?
Putrajaya is the new administration centre of Malaysia, it used to be Kuala Lumpur
"Australia to have a larger coastline than Canada"
That wasn't the question. The question is HOW MANY coastlines. Each island gets one coastline and Canadian northern territories has many islands. The longest coastline is probably Greenland because of its extremely wiggly coastline. Yukon is a long river, maybe longer than McKenzie river BUT most of the Yukon river is in the United States.
I wonder how many would get an 80%+ score if it were not multiple choice and you had to supply the correct answer?
I question the placement of Denmark in Northern Europe rather than Western Europe. I learnt that only countries north of the Baltic Sea are considered Northern Europe.
Quite tough. Managed 20/25.
Too many easy questions and several very obscure questions
21 answers correct
21 out of 25. Guessed mount Etna. Pure luck, thought in might be one of those obscure ones in Indonesia
Well done 👍🏻
What on Earth is a "number of coastlines" asked in Q.16 meant to be? I guess it was meant to ask the longest length of coastlines but the question asked has no meaning in my opinion.
Only got 20 of 25. Need to brush up on capitals.
23 Stumped by Romania and Malaysian cities. Mt Etna was a good guess. Thanks
Well done!
My score is 16/25. Relatively easy.
22/25 - I guess that makes me a bit of a geography nerd :-)
20/25. Could have used a little more time to think ...
Did much better than I thought I would this is my weakest subject, due to change over time. but only missed questions 2 and 3
Very good 😊
22 out of 25. Some “correct” answers are debatable as others have said
Well done 👍🏻
