Demographics Multiple Choice

1. Sierra Leone has life expectancy as 59.

2. Saudi Arabia has life expectancy as 76.

These figures are erroneous.

Can still whine about spelling errors in the quiz itself. Although I don't think I spotted any in this one.

I will whine about the use of the word billion and suggest a less confusing word

Well, "What is the life expectancy of people living *IN* Saudi Arabia?"

I love this!

Worked perfectly first time, nice addition

How do I quantify the difference between Large/Small Decrease/Increase? I don't like the formulation of that question, leaves space for interpretation (and hurt feelings :D)

This seems like a great addition!

Nice!!

My thoughts on improvements for this format:

1) the quiz is too 'long' in the sense that graphically it could be more 'compact' (so maybe less spacing between questions and answers, somewhat smaller font? or have the 4 possible answers in the same row when they aren't too long?)

2) it would be nice if you could answer with the keyboard (with keys 1-4 and have automatic scrolling down after you answer)

3) at the end of the quiz you should be allowed to see extra information about the possible choices (eg for question 1 show the population of all 4 possible answers)

I love having a new format for a change of pace. Also it may be easier for someone with a physical disability or who for any reason can't type quickly enough for other quizzes. Is there a way (or will there be a way) to designate these sort of quiz so those who might be more inclined toward this type can find them more readily?

Look for multiple choice. Both as a tag, in the search box, or when you go to your profile where you can see all the quizzes, you can select genres.

It would be cool to show the number of people that pressed every answer, versus just what you pressed. Also, quizzes like this should have something in the title to show that it isn't a typing quiz.

Great quiz, I like the format and hope we get some more under 'Multiple Choice' so we can find them easily.

I hope there will be more of these types of quizzes in the future.

I don't want to sound arrogant or ego-centripetal, but I think that the question regarding the growth of Japan should be changed -- the options are quite vague. Otherwise, excellent quiz!

Hahah that made me smile (which is quite an accomplishment, didnt think that would happen today, especially not a few minutes after things were horrible here)

Okay... So I got almost all the % wrong...

but most your videos can't hit even a million

This was actually great, I would love more of these.

Quizzes with demographics are really interesting. Great Quiz! Hoping we can enjoy more of these. Got 14/20 on a first try, and BTW, seeing the correct answers can be eye opening, too:)

I really doubt than 99% of people in Turkey are muslims

I think this data comes from the Turkish government. The same with Azerbaijan, every ethnic Azeri is counted as muslim by default. However, limited public polling suggests that less than 60% of Azerbaijan population considers themselves muslims

I kept going back and forth on Saudi Arabia with the last two answers. Shouldn't have second guessed myself, ended up getting it wrong. But still got 5 points.

The Japan population growth is sort of misleading. What is a large population decrease and what is a small one? You could realistically argue that 10 decrease is a large decrease. You should say amounts it increased or decreased

I was going to comment the same thing until I looked up the numbers and saw that it had decreased by less than 1% in this time frame. Yes, you *could* argue that losing 10 people out of 128 million is a big decrease, but you'd look pretty stupid making that argument. It's a small decrease.

My friends would easily agree with me that I am one to make that argument.

Loved this, great quiz! I only got 7 though, pretty shocking. Makes me realise how much I rely on quick typing guesses for a lot of the other quizzes.

Didn't know such a high proportion of Turks were Muslims!

There were a lot more Christians in Turkey before 1. the forced population exchanges to create a religious ethnostate in Greece and 2. the Armenian genocide.

The Urban Area question could be better written. I thought it was asking which of the cities is the largest city (has the greatest population) within its urban area. Think Fort Worth losing to Dallas, etc. Perhaps "Which of these cities' urban areas has the greatest population?"
