BONUS QUESTION: Which ‘S’ river flows through the city of Paris?Yvonne you do not need a sense of direction to do these geography quizzes.Your problem is in the entorhinal cortex with your sense of direction.
Just found this reading through the comments. I’ll have to google that and find out more. I really do have absolutely no sense of direction. I have trouble particularly in buildings with lots of corridors and broken up areas like hospitals. I have to ask how to get out again all the time. I have lost my car several times in car parks, no matter how hard I try to visualise where I am so I don’t get lost. It can be pretty disconcerting. It’s no use asking me for directions unless you want to get very lost.

19/20. Answer to the bonus question is the Seine. But my brain is far from being a human GPS. I get lost when I turn a corner, even inside a building or a house I have a little familiarity with. I do well on these because I don’t have to pinpoint where places are, multiple choice helps heaps, and I only lost one argument with myself when half guessing. Actually there are just two pieces of technology I really value, my Kindle and when I was still driving GPS.

Every answer begins with an S, and each question is a chance to learn something new or flex what you already know. But be warned: it's harder than it looks. You'll be squinting at your screen wondering, "Wait, is that a city or a country?" or "Was that in South America or Europe?"
