I got Laozi, but first tried Lao Tzu, which should be accepted.

Okay. I had 7 other variations of his name, but forgot Lao Tzu. That will work now.

I don't know... Museums, airlines, currencies are human geography, but Laozi... Taoism would be a good question, but its founder is rather History.

Just so you know, Limerick and Liverpool are not counting as answers. Might explain the high number of wrong answers for both. Enjoyed the quiz otherwise. :-)

Yet 83% get Liverpool and over 60% get Limerick? Doesn't appear to be a problem for most people.

I actually very much enjoy the questions about human geography topics. They provide a challenge and are much more difficult than the typical political/physical geography questions.
