How about using the word "which" (a choice from a limited range of possibilities) rather than "what"?

@arthur_p_dent Жыл бұрын

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...

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?

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!

21/25. Got a bit confused by the "number of coastlines" question. What on earth does that mean ?

@thomasmaughan4798 Жыл бұрын

"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.

One of those quizes with multiple correct answers where one must guess what the teacher wants to hear. Of course Denmark belongs to Western Europe, but no, the teacher wants to hear "northern", so we'll pretend it is.

@kallewirsch2263 Жыл бұрын

Right. As a european I have to say. The terms "northern europe" and "southern europe" may exist but aren't used much. There is: eastern europe, western europe, the mediterranean and scandinavia. Eg. Italy would be located in the mediterranean (and of course west europe), but nobody would say it is in "southern europe" The terms "western europe" and "eastern europe" originated mostly from the political situation during the 50s, 60s, 70s and 80s and not from the geographical sitation. The so called "iron curtain" divided europe in a western part and an "estern part" (often called the "eastern block")

@paulwhillas6494 Жыл бұрын

Geographically I would place Denmark in Northern Europe, although politically it might be considered part of Western Europe. West to East it is right in the middle, but North to South it is more to the North. In Australia, Scandinavian people, for example, are often referred to as Northern Europeans, while those bordering the Mediterranean are referred to as Southern Europeans. This may be because Australians divide them selves in the same way. We actually have states/ territories called Western Australia, South Australia and The Northern Territory. Americans also often see them selves in a similar way eg Southerners/ Northerners or West coast/ East coast.

@Patmofar Жыл бұрын

Denmark actually is in Northern Europe. A fact that you would find if you actually consulted a map. 'Guess what the teacher wants to hear' must be a Yank educational abnormality. Keep pretending you actually have an education.

@steviedee8921 Жыл бұрын

Western Europe...nuff said

@SirEdwardeight Жыл бұрын

What terms european use really depends on the Country: in my language, Denmark is definitely Northern Europe, but so are Germany and the Netherlands, politically speaking (German speaking countries and Nothern Countries). Almost all those Countries touching the Mediterranean are considered, here, Southern Europe (The Hiberian peninsula, Italy, the Balkans, Greece, Cyprus and Malta). France is a peculiar exception, as it is not really perceived as Southern Europe, unless you really have to choose. However, it is not a thorough division: the best one is East-West, following the Iron Curtain (except East Germany is Germany, so Western Europe). I am sure that new ways will be born in the future, like Western, Central, Eastern, which will come back into fashion from the world before the Cold War.

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.

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

@thomasmaughan4798 Жыл бұрын

"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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

"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.
