Take this quiz, please. There are 20 questions.
How many did you get right? I got 19, Meredith got 18. I was embarrassed by the scores of Americans. Almost 10% can't find us on a map? Wow.

Posted by: patricia on December 12, 2002 11:23 PMI have to admit that a couple of them were a process of elimination for me. For instance, give me an unlabeled map and tell me to find Sweden I might not get it right. But I can certainly pinpoint Scandanavia and there was only one option from those three countries.
That said, I think Sweden is the farthest west of the three (Sweden, Norway, Finland), right? Ah. My Finnish ancestors would be so proud...
Posted by: mrw on December 13, 2002 03:21 AMMy process of elimination was the one in South America. I admittedly know zilch about South America and even less about the countries in between Mexico and South America.
Posted by: Meredith on December 13, 2002 08:34 AMUh, Meredith, for future reference that would be Central America. Forgive her, pea.
Posted by: mrw on December 13, 2002 10:42 AMWell, at least I didn't say, "Those dumpy unimportant little countries between Mexico and South America." All that came to my head was Latin America and I knew that wasn't specific enough.
Posted by: Meredith on December 13, 2002 11:34 AMi got 19. it was the 2nd question that screwed me up. i SWEAR they're wrong. i should've gotten 20 out of 20. who can i write to contest the results?
happy friday!
Posted by: the evil queen on December 13, 2002 11:52 AMer, sweden would be the central country of the three...been there a couple times, i hope i know where it is! :) norway is on the west side.
i don't know my score cuz it didn't tell me and i didn't know i was supposed to keep track. i think it was 18. i didn't know the US population (guessed 500-750 million) and i thought for sure islam was bigger than christianity. i knew all of the geographical questions though.
Posted by: Tiffany on December 16, 2002 06:55 PMYahoo! I got 20! (Not to brag... to be honest a couple of the answers I gave were sheer guesswork.) Still, it explains my intolerance for the geographically inept.
