Geography by Letter - V

Oh, I though gondola meant ski mountain gondola.

I just typed in Venice at the start to see if it was an answer

I also made this mistake. You can find a gondola at Vail, so technically Vail should have worked for this question as well. I think the question needs to be changed to avoid ambiguity.

I typed Vanuatu for gondala xD

Pretty easy for me. I misspelled Vail at first as Vale, maybe that's why some others missed it. It also likely helped to get Varanasi that I've been there.

And also that it's on my oldest cities quiz, which for the first time today I finally managed to get 100% on.

Only one I missed. Never heard of it. I have lots of trouble remembering the lesser known cities in India and China. I'll check out your quiz and maybe I'll get this one correct, at least.

I did that also, but I think it's because I watch too much Game of Thrones and thought of the Vale.

This time around I didn't misspell Vail but I got it automatically when I was typing in Valencia.

I would link Mozart's name more with Salzburg than Vienna...

Yeah, but that doesn't start with V.

He was born in Salzburg, but spent a lot of his life in Vienna. Though I might have said that Strauss was a more obvious choice for a composer associated with Vienna.

Yep, should definitely replace 'Mozart' by 'Strauss'

I had to sing "I Come From a Land Down Under" in my head to get Vegemite!

"He just smiled and gave me a vegemite sandwich"... I still want to try it, but it's kinda rare in Ohio.

just don't make the usual mistake and slap it on too thick. a light smear on hot buttered toast is great

Salt and yeast extract. Just moisten a veggie bouillon cube and spread it on bread, and you've pretty much got the gist of it. My daughter brought a jar back with her from her study abroad in Australia - sorry, but it just wasn't my thing.

On the last second I was at the ...en of Volkswagen! Still, 19/20 is okay I guess.

VW does the trick

On some quizzes the Danube is Europe's longest river. :S

700 km of extra length are easy to miss.

15 correct, the ones I missed that I knew were Valencia and Vegemite.

Couldn't figure out how to spell vuvuzela.

For yeast extract, I put marmite. On realising it was a v quiz, i put veggie marmite. When i found out the real answer, i was QUITE annoyed (Plus, since when is Vegemite geography?)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_geography Happens on almost every quiz

About geography, that is

When it’s from Australia (a country), just as relevant as a person from a country.

haha lol

Nope. HCMC is the largest city in Vietnam but Hà Nội is the capital.

@divantilya Um actually, your correction is off topic and doesn’t address his factual statement.

good quiz, ashamed to miss some of the most obvious ones. Kept typing vesuvio... haha and couldnt get versailles and varanasi on time. Never heard of vail tho..

How is a freaking Noisemaker Geography? I can tolerate the scooter, but a noisemaker!!!

look up the word geography.

You should accept Varansi. I always thought that was what it was called, even though I see you are right now.

Not really a good argument.

I was thinking about Versailles, but I was stupid and said "no."

Please accept "Venezia" for Venice as Italian names are accepted for other cities

Got 'Vail' by misspelling 'Valencia'!

QM, I’d suggest removing the Vale type-in, as many of us are only getting Vail from knowing Valencia.

I’ve heard of Vespa, but I could only come up with Volvo.

I made a quiz where you have to guess between to countries which one is bigger. How high can you score? Please try my quiz: https://www.jetpunk.com/user-quizzes/160326/which-country-is-bigger
