1. "You answered 19 of 19 questions correctly for a total score of 100%."

But I knew I would... I'm just good at that stuff.

3. 16 out of 19

Interestingly, I fucked up on Qatar and Bahrain all three times they were mentioned!

[dixiegrrrrl]

4. I think TPTB move them around for security purposes.

[Aerows]

9. I screwed up on Qatar once

And then I screwed up on a Bahrain question. Got 17 out of 19 though

5. You answered 19 of 19 questions correctly for a total score of 100%.

= that's me beating my own drum. But I did have to stop think on a couple of them

[dixiegrrrrl]

6. Impressive.

I think I rushed my answers.
There is a link to another quiz on Africas geography.
Who was it who said war is a way to teach Americans geography?? or something to that effect.

7. I'm sure I would not score nearly as well on African geography

I remember once several years ago a British fellow I was working with in the Middle East was really impressed that I knew where the Canary Islands were located and commented that Americans rarely know geography. Just recently a physician I work with who happens to have been born in America but his family is from Libya was actually surprised that I knew Libya bordered Egypt on the West. I'm afraid there is some truth to the stereotype that Americans generally don't know geography very well.

8. I didn't do too badly :)

10. Well done...

I think it was Ambrose Bierce who said " war is God's way of teaching Americans geography".

11. 17 out of 19

[ZombieHorde]

12. I got 16 right, which is funny, becuase that is probably the same score I would get

on a US geography quiz.

13. Think you know the Middle East? Take our geography quiz.

18 out of19, last question I changed my mind from Qatar to Israel, otherwise it would have been a clean sweep.

[dixiegrrrrl]

14. I wanna find a quiz to identify drone bases.....

THAT would be educational as hell.

[mylye2222]

15. I had on 74% of good answers

Middle east is complicated!

[MADem]

16. I got 'em all, but I used to live there.

It would be embarrassing if I didn't know my way around!

[dixiegrrrrl]

17. Lol.....I see what you mean.

I really knew nothing about geography east of the Rockies till I moved to ...east of the Rockies.
