Did anyone else think at first that question #5 (the one about Jersey cows) was a trick question? I tried most of the rest of the British Isles before finally figuring out that it wasn't a trick and had the most obvious answer ever.
I got it with my first guess. But I think there are probably a lot of people who aren't even aware that there is an island named Jersey. I bet at least a few people were probably trying to think of islands in New Jersey. The only one I can think of is controversially perhaps part of New York, perhaps part of New Jersey - Liberty Island - and there are no cows there that I know of.
I like the idea of a Liberty Island Cow. They could market the milk as "the taste of freedom" or something
A friend of mine from Jersey used to work in America, and when people asked where he was from he used to sometimes have a bit of difficulty getting them to believe that there was a place called Jersey without "new" in front of it.
Also... why wouldn't you count it as a state? "If you count Arizona as a state, it's the sixth largest"... see how odd that sounds? Did you mean to write if you count the Northern Territory as a state? Because you shouldn't do that, because, as TheCrusher has pointed out... it isn't. Also, what is that order? If your list were ordered by size, it goes 1, 4, 6, 5, 2, 3.
Definitely thought Jersey cows' origin was going to be like the question on another of these about which animal the Canary Islands were named after.
Also, and I don't know for sure, cos I've just done a bunch of these and they're all muddling together, but I'm pretty sure I've done the Liechtenstein question on another quiz in this series.
Well I was also wondering how fully 29% of people couldn't work it out, but this is presumably the answer. It's a bit like the Tasmanian Devil being better known than Tasmania, which may also be the case I suppose
You should probably consider accepting "congress" for the clue about owls and legislators. Less commonly used for owls than parliament, but is one of the names for a group thereof. "The most common collective noun for a group of owls is a parliament. Other less common names include a wisdom, congress, hooting and a stare of owls." https://birdfact.com/articles/what-is-a-group-of-owls-called
Also there’s an erroneous ‘the’ in the question about owls.
Nice quiz though!

Maybe also 'La Joconde', its name in France?
