9/15. Disappointed. If there is one place in the world I would go for the food it is Italy. I'm not a great fan of pizza but I love many Italian dishes. This quiz did not contain many of those I have eaten and even made myself. The seafood...
19/25. Should have been 20 but stupidly answered the currency one incorrectly. Mixed up the Republic and Northern. Although now I can't remember the exact wording of the question though. Did it specify which? It was a little confusing at times because sometimes Ireland meant the whole island. The...
19/20. All those hours watching documentaries. I wish the snake question hadn't been there though. I have orphidiophobia. That's a word I'd probably forget if I didn't have a snake phobia. Living in Australia you might think a fear of snakes is justified, but I get shivers if I...
Not weird. However some of these foods, e.g. cake and sometimes lasagne, I'd eat with a Splayd. A splayd is an Australian thing, it is a spork but with a sharper edge for cutting, so a knife, fork and spoon in one. I've had mine for about 30 years...
11/15. Not being American I had to dig deep for what US history I've retained over the years. But it was a pure guess on lots of trivia I've either never heard, or just don't remember hearing. Trivia is funny though, sometimes it's the stuff you remember best just...
19/22. Knew some, some easy by process of elimination, some just couldn't guess the right way where I knew it was 1 of 2. I don't know why I am so awful at geography, no matter how often or long I look at maps I just don't seem...
Me too. I have no idea who Jake is. But I really like the description. It's how I'd like to be. You're effortlessly cool, laid-back, and always ready with great advice (or a hilarious joke). You go with the flow but will fight for the people you love. Whether you're...
17/22. Should have been at least one more. Didn't read the question properly. First AMERICAN woman in space, not first woman. And I clicked Bronte instead of Austen. So that leaves 3 I didn't know and guessed wrong.
I'm a grown up. At 74 I should be. But I can't wrap presents neatly unless they are a nice regular shape, I can't keep a houseplant alive, and I can't navigate with a compass and a map (I get lost turning a corner in a large building). But...
15/20. I vaguely remember seeing a documentary about pink things and I'm not sure it was all that long ago. Guess I didn't retain much. Some lucky guesses here.
11/20. I think that's a personal worst. I'm pretty sure I actually knew about 4 that I got wrong. Memory retrieval failure. But your comment about the brown belt, that was what I thought before I saw the answers. I just googled and it would appear to be correct.
19/20. Don't know if I'm actually getting better at geography doing lot of quizzes or just having a good brain day. But I still have problems remembering just where countries are in Africa especially. But I've always had a terrible sense of direction, get lost as soon as I...

23/25. Wow. In Geography. It's like someone asked me all the places I knew then set the test.

20/20. I love word puzzles. I feel like I have trained my entire life for these. Words are definitely my forte.

Also 21/21. See, watching TV isn't time wasted. I watch lots of documentaries.
15/20. Good at the beginning, terrible in the middle, came good again at the end. Flipped instead of flopped on some guesses.
11/20. I think that's a personal worst. I'm pretty sure I actually knew about 4 that I got wrong. Memory retrieval failure. But your comment about the brown belt, that was what I thought before I saw the answers. I just googled and it would appear to be correct.
15/22. Did this just after midnight instead of going to bed. Should have gone to bed. Not firing on all cylinders.
Definitions of continents can get a bit blurry but basically Greenland is on the same continental shelf at North America.
I got 25 too. Usually not good at geography but seems I do well on "in the general direction of".

24/28. Need to do some reading or find some doco's about South America.
