5 out of 18 are non-US, that's about 27%. Population distribution, South America has about 42% (380M), North has 58% (520M). Area distribution, South also has about 42% (6.9M sq miles) and North has 58% (9.3M sq miles). So maybe a couple more, but I still don't get why people get bent out of shape about these when you can expect an American site to have somewhat of an American-centric focus! I think QM does an admirable job of having a worldly variety of information here.
You should see the other quizzes of this saga. There are some of the where only 1 or 2 questions (out of 20-24) are non-US, and the sole question (or pair of) is from Canada. This quiz in particular was one of the best distributed, compared with the rest of the saga (and it's US-centric)
The two least-guessed questions are about Latin America. If the average person was more knowledgable about the non-Western world I'd change the distribution of questions. But it's not fun to ask questions that few would have a chance of ever guessing. I also would go on to say that many of the complainers would themselves have a hard time answering questions about Latin America, Africa, China, India, or other developing regions. But since I'm feeling generous tonight I'll offer a full refund to anyone who was offended by this quiz. Quizmaster out.
If you think you could come up with better questions that fit the theme and would appeal to a wide variety of users, it would be a lot more constructive to suggest them in the comments rather than complain about it. For some of the letters of the alphabet there just aren't that many options that aren't obscure even to people who live in the area.
I wonder what the distribution of nationalities is that takes most of these quizzes. It's probably a large proportion of Americans, thus the material usually reflects this. Just a thought for those whiners that complain that they're too America-centric.
of 520m of Nort America, the USA has around 300m. The other 220m are mainly from Mexico, and there is absolutely no question about Mexico. Canada hast more surface than the USA and has 1 question vs 15!!
That's what "americans" from the US can't see. The fucking world doesn't revolve around you, and as long as you continue to defend that, the more hate you receive.
Hey, what's with all the Martinique questions in this Martinique-centric quiz? It's like the rest of the Americas doesn't even exist. Ha-ha, just kidding! Great job, Quizmaster!
Fredonia AZ is closer to the North Rim than Flagstaff is to South Rim of Grand Canyon. But Fredonia is not a city and probably only those who live (or used to live) nearby would know this.
