Make sure you don’t have tally marks on your arm... oh, wait, I have some on mine, but I can’t seem to remember how they got there or why I’m writing this. ;)
Baja was accepted for me. Americans often shorten it, but not to California - too confusing, as Paco said, with the US state. (Perhaps it is different in Mexico.)
Papua itself is a province of Indonesia on the west of the island and the cultural group. New Guinea is the name of the island but could well have been called Papua in the past.
The name of the island is New Guinea. Papua is simply incorrect and is not used in English to refer to the whole island, officially or otherwise. Why do you want an incorrect answer to be acceptable?
Nope. Borneo is divided between Malaysia, Indonesia, and the small country of Brunei. New Guinea is the name of one of the largest islands in the world, which itself is split between Indonesia and Papua New Guinea.
Well, it says that the inhabitants are the Rapa Nui, so that would be a little weird to give it away in the clue, and plus it is commonly known as Easter Island.
Yes, I agree. International Date Line should not be accepted here because the opposite of a straight line should be a straight line, not a line that meanders around Russia, the US, and several Pacific island countries.
A bit generous with the time. Right now, someone with a WPM of 5 would be able to finish this quiz if they knew all the answers. Maybe cut the time in half?
You're allowed to quit early if you want, and you don't win anything by being the fastest on this site. Oh, and whoop de doo to you for being so wonderful.
Please accept anti meridian. Antimeridian is the name for 180° of longitude, and in fact the international date line doesn't even follow 180° because it squiggles around Kiribati, Samoa and Tonga.
If China and Southeast Asia are included in the Pacific Theater, there will be countless tragic battles. For example, in the Battle of Songhu, during the same three-month battle, some data stated that the Japanese army suffered more than 90,000 casualties and the Chinese army suffered more than 250,000 casualties. In the battle to defend Wuhan, the Chinese army suffered as many as 650,000 casualties.
I'd suggest it's like Munchen or Den Haag - it's not the English name, but it is something the island is called.
Interesting...
Thanks :)
