MADAGASCAR and Niger?

I guess most people get niger when they type nigeria

madagascar is the most obvious one to me. Then a tie between egypt and south africa. next would be morocco and dont know what I would ve choosen as 5th. But for the quiz I indeed guessed niger cause that seemed statistically probably (twice the chance because of nigeria and I think people (with a limitied amount of knowledge about africa) would type nigeria before congo, which obviously also has double the chance). Anyway no guesses needed.

I DID need em for asia.... I reallly couldnt think of what could be above japan... Other had no misses either, besides trying samoa on oceania (after having micronesia fiji and new guinea, but didnt think of new zealand and australia yet)

A bit confusing as I thought there are only 3 countries in north America. I assume the central Americans were lumped in with the north.

Level 63
May 24, 2017
Central America is part of North America, as are all the nations in the Caribbean. "Central America" is not a continent.

it is not indeed, but I think we also used to learn at school north south and central america separately (though I dont believe we were ever told central america was its own continent).

You think that, it's not actually true.

Level 44
Jun 1, 2017
I think that "Fidshi" should be correct too or "Phidhshi". And while they're at it they should also add "Fish" and "Fiiijdshijjyyiishdjy".

Level 65
May 10, 2021
They should also add Fi-Wi, fihefurydhfjehsdyukji, FIjI, 800-588-2300FIJITODAY, IJIF, Fine Jill, Fiddles jiggle, Fyjy, and any other word that somehow represents Fiji.

I was about to correct you and say that it is spelled "Columbia" only to google it and find out that the opposite is true! Columbia is the incorrect but widely used spelling of the South American country in the United States. Who knew?
+1
Level 46
May 24, 2017
I've never heard that. "Columbia" was the general term used in the U.S. for the new lands opened up to European settlement by Columbus's voyage. So, for example, the song "Hail, Columbia" was a very popular U.S. patriotic song, and kind of an unofficial anthem for the country for over a hundred years.

Colombia has always been Colombia.

qcumber, the name of the country is definitely colOmbia anything else is just people spelling it wrong. There are places in the US that áre called columbia which might confuse some people. But that does not change the correct name or spelling of the country colombia.

@ala02 if they use colombia they are mistaken, because in american english it is still colombia, no country by the name of columbia exists.

I guess it's because the Panama Canal is so famous or people remember that specific time in history. Haiti seems like it should be on the list.

I find it surprising that people guess Niger, but not Nigeria or Iran, but not Iraq...

It could be the difference of 1% and the latter two would have failed to make the quiz.

not gonna explain the niger nigeria thing... that is too obvious. But yea Iran Iraq is something you would suspect, but maybe it got 81%
+2
Level 45
Aug 3, 2019
Surely because of foreign languages? For example in french, we say "Iran" too but "Irak" instead of "Iraq". It could explain the % difference.
+1
Level 66
Feb 4, 2020
Interesting point, it might be part of it, I think for most languages Iran remains Iran and Iraq is about 50/50 spelled Iraq or Irak. (With latin alphabet as script).

Isn't Russia in Europe and Asia? It would rank higher then all of the other Asian countries if it counted for both and not just Europe.

That is only for the veterans that take the countries of the world quiz and try to be as fast as they can. Most probably wont do that the first time they take the quiz and only the stats for the first time a quiz is taken are recorded.

Since this quiz is not about population but geography alone then Russia should be added to Asia, since the vast majority of Russian territory is in Asia

I'm really surprised that Germany isn't on the list for Europe's best known countries...
+1
Level 76
Jun 1, 2020
I think it may be at number 6. Russia is obvious because of its size and status as world power, and numbers 2-5 because of their tourism value. What surprises me though is that the two most popular European tourist destinations come last on this list. I'd have expected Italy to be much lower.

Hmm! Only 39% of people guessed that 77% of people guess Madagascar. Who would have guessed? We need a quiz to find out!!

Surprised that "Congo" didn't make the list in some way. That's always a given type-in for Africa questions for me because it's a two-fer.

Niger is counted, but not Nigeria? I'm surprised.

Level 55
May 3, 2020
Not super surprising. Niger is at the end. People probably wanted to type in "Nigeria" and "Niger" came up first, then they typed in "Nigeria" again, which probably made it 6th on the list.
