I really struggle to comprehend the "Cyprus is not in Europe" drama. Continents are, by definition, arbitrary. There is no scientific definition of continents that would be completely objective. The line is even blurrier when we talk about the islands as parts of continents. So, you can say "we at JetPunk don't consider Cyprus to be a part of Europe", that is completely fine. But to proclaim as an absolute truth "Cyprus is not in Europe" is just wrong, at least as much as to say it is in Europe. For example, this article: https://www.worldatlas.com/articles/what-continent-is-cyprus-in.html says: "If anything, the country has an interesting story here as to whether it should be placed in Europe or Asia. If we talk about the geographical location of the country, it is very close to Asia in terms of the border, but its history, stories, and cultural heritage have more of a European influence." How did you come to completely ignore one arbitrary definition and vehemently stick by another?

I think the wording changed when the quiz was featured. I have updated it to include "JetPunk considers..." for specificity.

Continents are based on physical geography. If you want to start bringing cultural ties into the equation then you would have to consider whether Australia or Mexico or Brazil are part of Europe. Cyprus is geographically closest to Asia, followed by Africa and in third place Europe.

Just a reminder that Trinidad and Tobago is 11 kilometers from Venezuela, yet Jetpunk has no problem considering it part of North America. So, it's clearly not about physical geography.

Your key words are “11 kilometers from”. That’s very physical.

Since you didn't get the point: Trinidad and Tobago is a lot closer to South America than to North America, and it's also a lot closer to South America than Cyprus is to Asia.

So, the argument that "continents are based on physcial geography" clearly doesn't seem to apply here.

If you follow physical geography strictly, then Europe and Asia are not separate continents.

No they're not, physical geography is a part but it's largely just convention. There are at least 5 other ways to reasonably divide up the world into continents, some that make far more sense based on physical geography than the 7 we typically use.

There are five continents:

- Eurasia (which has two subcontinental peninsulas, Europe and South Asia)

- North America

- South America

- Africa

- Antarctica

Australia is a dwarf continent. Oceania is a continentoidal region. Cyprus is part of Eurasia.

We've always been at war with Eastasia.

I don't understand why you would take the time to comment on this quiz when you are just completely wrong. Why not just take the time to look it up before you comment?
