Landmarks Quiz

Quite easy.

I got 16/17. I missed Machu Picchu.

Is it just me or is the St. Louis Gateway Arch a little difficult for non Americans?

im english and i didn't get it!!

A lot of quizzes are more difficult for non-Americans here.

you can just call it the gateway arch, that's what most people call it

gateway to the west also works

I'm Irish and I got them all...

i had no idea what it was called, i jut knew it was in St. Louis and fluked the arch part.

It does look pretty second rate compared to all the other marvels in this quiz. I guess it's really famous - in America. :)

Isn't washinton memorial and the washington monument the same thing?

missed washington and St. Louis

too easy

No, there is a difference between a memorial and a monument...Lincoln and Jefferson have Memorials in DC, Washington has a monument.

Exactly...does anyone really call it the Washington Memorial??

Nope. I live in the area and have never heard it called Washington Memorial. There is Jefferson Memorial, Lincoln Memorial, but it's called Washington Monument.

Kept spelling Fuji as Fiji....

easy 100%

Can the "leaning tower of Pisa" just be the "tower of Pisa"?

More like this??

Is the "...of China" really necessary??! Is there another "Great Wall" somewhere else that I'm not aware of?

How the frick did I miss the Empire State Building 16/17

Yes, I wouldn't expect many non-Americans to get the Gateway Arch. Americans know it and recognize it, but it's not a main tourist attraction. It's just kind of "there." Just like you Europeans shouldn't expect many of us Americans to get the Machu Picchu. I have never heard of that in my life! What is it, and where is it? I also knew that building was in Sydney, but I didn't know that it was an opera house.

Machu Picchu is an ancient city in Peru

Machu Micchu is/was a large Incan city. It actually wasn't the largest city (or the "capital") of the empire. It has become one of the most popular attractions in South American (even though there are tons of Incan ruins all over the continent). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Machu_Picchu

I wasn't sure how to spell Pisa. I kept trying to spell it Piza. Probably getting it confused with the pyramids of Giza. By the way, that gateway arch is also known as the Jefferson National Expansion Memorial, after our third U.S. President Thomas Jefferson.

My mistake. It's South American.

Mount Fuji?? I never heard of it... I thought it was Kilimanjaro. Also, I thought Pisa was spelled with a Z.

mt fuji is in japan

@acer9199 for your information Machu Picchu is an old Incan settlement in Peru and is very famous all over the world, it's closer to you than europe!

can you please adjust software for spelling errors

Mount Fuji? I would have assumed Kilimanjaro, Vesuvius, or Everest...

easy quiz. 100%. mt fuji is in japan

I used to open my door to Fuji every morning. Amazing.

easy. that one with 196 countries was the hardest lol

try the capitals of them, that one is harder :).

Or all of the beatles songs...rediculous

Missed Fuji!

missed St.Louis again. Darn it.

@Dymefire Vesuvius does not have snowy summit, Everest is located in a mountain chain and Kilimanjaro is not surrounded by such urban structures or such green fields. Neither of those option should therefore be obvious.

Mount Fuji is obvious. The Washington monument and the St Louis arch were difficult - I have seen them before, I just couldn't remember their names

reflecting pool should be an acceptable answer, as it is in the foreground of the picture of the washington monument.

@Dymefire, I tried the same three mountains as you even though I knew, as @Gigano so astutely pointed out, that it doesn't have a snowy summit. Only reason I knew what the Washington Monument was called is cos they mention it a fair bit in Bones. I think Opera House should simply be accepted, as in Sydney we don't really call it the Sydney Opera House...

16/17 Unable to recall Empire State Building.

missed the colloseum and mount fuji DARN

i would have gotten 4 more if i could spell!

Very very easy! 100%

Only missed Machu Picchu

macchu picchu and mt fuji :(

Couldnt figure out how to spell Machu Picchu correctly :(

mt fuji?? kept trying the alps..

The Statue of Liberty is also referred to as Lady Liberty

I agree with yocoy.

This was very easy, 100% with a minute to spare. and im pretty sure many american know machu picchu as it is very famous, and not very similar to the arch, as the arch is really only important to the US as it symbolizes the US expansion west, but machu picchu is history of all humans

Kinda easy

100%!!!

Isn't it really the Gateway to the West, not the St. Louis Arch?

Also got the white house and mt rushmore.

Could you accept Sydney Music House also?

I got 100 per cent and I'm English and under 18

100%....35sec left.

I missed Mount Fuji. :(

Why so many monuments of the usa?? There are a lot more, more impressive all around the world..the parthenon - Acropolis in Athens, Hagia Sofia in istanbul etc.

Beat it with two minutes to spare! I'm only 13!

Why doesn't it accept Flavian Amphitheater?
