Steppes would also fit the Siberia clue

Level 41

Feb 12, 2015

No, no. Steppes do lie at the east end of Russia's European part, but related to Russia as a whole, Siberia covers the east, steppes are something of a "midwest".

Level 28

May 27, 2016

Midwest would also fit

Level 39

Dec 2, 2022

midwest isnt eastern though

Level 56

Jan 1, 2015

Detroit of India...I went in a whole other direction with that one!

Level 30

Aug 9, 2015

Guessed Indian cities. I didn't have a clue what the windy city was

Level 75

May 2, 2017

At first I read it as Indiana. Didn't work out so well but I eventually saw my mistake.

Level 44

Jan 20, 2015

my first thought for 'windy city' was Winnipeg. that didn't fit, and I remembered Chicago.

Level 75

Dec 26, 2017

Wind chill of -40 when I woke up (in Winnipeg) today.

Level 56

Apr 28, 2020

Trieste also fits... I'm not sure that anyone actually calls it that though.

Edit: turns out they do! Well, someone does. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=_G1wpfKbauc

Level 35

Georgia was my 15th try....I just don't think of that area as "Asia." Tried Madras for Detroit of India, didn't work. Then misspelled it Chenmai. Finally looked it up. (Which, btw to those who love attacking those of us who look-up answers, I don't think of as cheating but rather learning--if I research an answer, I will remember it. But if I read it on a list of red errors, I'll forget it in 2 minutes. And I don't brag about the scores--I know I'm not getting 100% if I looked it up!)

Level 75

Mar 5, 2015

No one has to justify their actions on any quiz to me and I occasionally look up a word if I know it but can't quite get one of the many accepted spellings, (unless there is a caveat that correct spelling is required) but if your whole purpose in doing so is for learning, you could always wait until the quiz is over and then do your research so it doesn't skew the results for everyone else.

Level 30

Aug 9, 2015

Me too. When I was doing countries of the world and had to have a spelling of Kyrgyzstan at all times and a map of Oceania+ the caribbean

Level 65

May 2, 2017

I google the answer when I know for sure it is correct and just can't figure out the spelling. It's not cheating because on every decent quiz they accept every answer the pronunciation of which sounds correct.

Level 75

Mar 5, 2015

I found this one a bit difficult and only scored 16, but that just means I learned a lot from it. Thank you.

Level 37

Feb 11, 2019

^ Same here. I'm happy with 16/24. Couldn't think of Madeira to save my life!

Level 66

Mar 5, 2015

Got all except of Lascaux.

Level 22

Mar 8, 2015

sicily is not a country...

+11

Level 55

Mar 9, 2015

What are you saying? Just because it is not a sovereign nation doesn't mean it can't have a capital. Take a US state for example, or the Falkland Islands. Neither is a sovereign state, both have capitals.

Level 30

Aug 9, 2015

20/24. I'm happy with that

Level 33

Sep 15, 2016

Nice quiz, thanks! But is Georgia Asian? I'd put it (and Armenia and Azerbaijan) as European, being west of the Volga (Europe is supposed by many to end where the Volga runs into the Caspian Sea). I dismissed it because of the Asian designation.

Level 60

Dec 9, 2016

The dividing line is west of the Urals, north of the Caucasus.

Level 75

Dec 26, 2017

The dividing line about this issue on Jetpunk is far more real than the line dividing Europe and Asia.

Level 59

May 13, 2021

From maps I've seen, Georgia is mainly in Asia, with the far north being located in Europe. Russia, Turkey, Azerbaijan, and Kazakhstan have land in both Europe and Asia.

Level 25

Apr 10, 2017

Arizona is also 7 letter'd state

Level 74

May 2, 2017

That's cool. So are Alabama, Florida, Montana and Vermont.

Level 71

May 2, 2017

New York

Level 68

May 2, 2017

"The Windy City" in New Zealand is Wellington. But I guess that's not too well-known world wide...

Level 68

May 2, 2017

And it has 10 letters.

Level 72

May 2, 2017

What is in the picture? Is it a clue?

Level 48

Oct 13, 2018

it's a peach.. grown by the tonne in Georgia (USA)

Level 37

Feb 11, 2019

^ Looks like a strawberry filled doughnut to me... maybe I'm just hungry.

Level 57

May 2, 2017

when you write finland for the hrvatska question but somehow get a correct answer...

Level 54

May 2, 2017

I did the same thing!

Level 55

May 8, 2017

Suomi would be the Finnish word for Finland.

Level 65

May 2, 2017

Madeira is also famous for a very good cultivar of fig by the same name.

Level 78

Dec 26, 2017

That art history degree is finally paying itself off - I knew you would be if great importance to me one day, Lascaux

Level 69

Jan 5, 2018

When you know the Detroit of India but blank on the longest river in China...*face palm*

Level 19

Jan 17, 2018

Since when was Georgia classed as an Asian country?

Level 65

Mar 1, 2020

Since always.

Level 79

Oct 19, 2020

It's at least as Asian as Cyprus.

Level 80

Jan 17, 2018

Another French cave famous for prehistoric paintings is Chauvet, which also happens to have 7 letters. But by asking for "caves" plural, the answer is limited to Lascaux caves.

Still, not many would know the difference.

Level 51

Sep 17, 2020

Yes, that's what I tried and was frustrated it didn't work!

Level 28

Feb 11, 2019

When you spell it mediera :(

Level 58

Mar 18, 2020

Only 39% have guessed those Finnish cities? I thought it would have been more obvious since Finnish language and especially names are pretty distinctive from any other language.

Level 70

Feb 24, 2021

They are pretty unknown cities on the world stage. Most people visit Helsinki or Lapland (which isn't a city). Tampere is beautiful though the way it sits between those two lakes.

Level 68

Oct 27, 2020

Please could Zambesi be accepted? it's an accepted spelling in English.

Level 55

May 13, 2021

As is Zambeze

Level 67

Feb 7, 2022

20, missed Sumatra, Formosa, Madeira, and Lascaux

Level 68

Feb 16, 2024

21/24, great quiz!
