Now I fully expect everyone on this forum to do well...

What is concerning however is no necessarily that certain nations score very poorly on geography questions - but the fact that they still score very poorly when huge geopolitical events occur that directly affect them...

[Neutrino]

Wow, those statistics are quite disturbing

20/20 correct.

wanha

20/20 then, 20/20 now.

You would want to laugh at the fact that only 16% of the Americans know where sweden is, but then you see that even Europeans are often mistaken.





Remember me saying that I think most people are smart and knowledgeable?

forget about it.



Obviously, 20/20, btw.

I wonder, how large percentage of the takers answered wrong to every one of those, as a protest?

If I would be leading this nation, I'd force everyone who has a right to vote in parliamentory elections to take this test, and execute everyone who gets under 15/20.

18/20

For some reason I was thinking Islam has the most followers and I didn't know about El Nino.

Sava, you can stop the self hating. The Europeans didn't do much better.

Yah, has been a common mistake around here, apparently people have been taught in western European schools that by the time they've grown up, Islam is the biggest religion, and almost everyone who has been taught like this makes the same mistake. I was told in comprehensive that I should remember Islam as the biggest religion, since it'll overtake Christianity in 'just a few years'.

and I didn't know about El Nino

You should've been more awake at the biology classes, in late comprehensive school.


It also helps to read every issue of National Geographic.

Britain is pretty bad at placing countries on the map, I'm sorry to say.

20/20, for me.
