Very fun quiz. Was this partially inspired by my Very Tricky Analogies quiz? Some of the hints are similar. I had many more geographical analogies in mind for that one but I wanted to mix things up. Didn't occur to me to make a whole quiz just on that one subject.

I got everything except Alps, Alberta, Krakatoa and Kiliminjaro on my first go. Some of these were a bit tricky.

Two years later I got everything and found the quiz very easy. I guess Jetpunk has made me smarter.

I got all apart from Erie, Kilimanjaro and Deutschland (because I couldn't spell it) first time. Good quiz.
+6
Level 82
Jan 5, 2016
I got Deutschland by typing in Alemania.
+7
Level 48
Oct 23, 2021
It's because the clue can be taken two ways, España can be interpreted as either the Spanish name of Spain (the Spanish name of Germany is Alemania), or the native name of Spain (the native name of Germany is Deutschland), so the correct answer depends on the interpretation.
+2
Level 28
Jul 16, 2013
Very good quiz. Very original. Needs more alternate spellings for Deutschland. I knew the answer but couldn't get the spelling and had to look up the spelling.

Added more accepted spellings for Deutschland. I forgot to do it originally.

I loved this! I got all except Erie, I wasn't thinking "Lake" - duh!

Level 75
Dec 30, 2020
I saw that Michigan was mentioned in two clues, both with cities, and I was confused for a bit until I decided one had to refer to the state and the other to the lake. Nice set of questions that.

I'm nit-picking here, but Ayers Rock has no apostrophe. Looked it up when I got it wrong and the guy it's named after was Sir Henry Ayers.

More of these please. But I gotta say, Babylon is not at all near Baghdad.
+2
Level 82
Jul 17, 2013
Baghdad is about 85 km from the site of Babylon. Tunis is about 53 km from Carthage. Seems like an appropriate analogy.

Thank you. Exactly what I was going to say. And, yes, I was inspired by your tricky analogies quiz.

Got 'em all this morning with 3:19 left. As Kalbahamut said earlier, Jetpunk does make us smarter. Still enjoyed this one very much, and still had to think about the answers.

Got 'em all today but with 2:57 left - getting slower as I get older, I guess. Still love analogy quizzes - makes up for all the satellite image quizzes I totally fail.

Lol, I thought when they said Chicago to Michigan it meant Michigan State, so I drove myself crazy trying to think of another state fitting with Cleveland for that analogy.

Level 74
Mar 26, 2019
I'm guessing 65% thought similar - can't think of another reason why it's so low; there's only four more to choose from
+4
Level 78
Mar 28, 2019
Another reason might be that few people outside of North America would know the lakes off the top of their head.

Level 61
May 14, 2016
You should specify Michigan as Lake Michigan. I though you were referring to Michigan Ave so I tried typing in Euclid

Largest island in China to largest island in Australia (assuming Taiwan is independent and Australia is a continent and not an island).

Level 86
Jun 1, 2018
The location of Hainan/Tasmania in relation to mainland China/the main part of Australia is also very similar. That's how I got it. Wasn't even thinking about size.

You should accept Hawaii for Honolulu; Oahu is sometimes called Hawaii
+5
Level 86
Jun 1, 2018
No, Hawaii and Oahu are two different islands. Hawaii can refer to the entire island chain, of course, but that's not what the question is looking for.
+2
Level 49
Oct 21, 2021
No we shouldn't. The clue is Jakarta to Java, not Jakarta to Indonesia, so the answer is Honolulu to Oahu, not Honolulu to Hawaii.

I'm very glad you accepted Alemania for Germany- I know Spanish pretty well but would never in a million years have remembered Deutchland.

Mar 9, 2019
For 'Chicago is to Michigan' I thought I was supposed to look for a state...

Level 66
Mar 25, 2019
Kept insisting on "z" instead of "s" in Brasilia. Given all the other misspellings that are accepted, shouldn't this be close enough?

Excellent! Got them all with 1:44 remaining at 5:40:38 PM. The last guess was a lucky one.

Krakatau for krakatoa please, it is an official name for it. Scientific programs and institutions focused on volcanoes generally all use use Krakatau not Kraktoa

(It was actually thé official name, krakatoa is thought to have stemmed a typo in an article about the eruption, and after that its use has beenbecome more frequent and apparently mainstream)

Since Sicily is the biggest island in the Mediterranean, wouldn't ________ to Caribbean be Cuba and not Jamaica? I mean, Jamaica is like the fourth smallest island in the Caribbean, so it would be Cyprus to Mediterranean for example.
+3
Level 71
Oct 21, 2021
But it isn't _______ to Caribbean, it is Jamaica to _______ and 83% knew it. It clearly is an analogy relating to the sea that the islands are situated in rather than anything relating to their relative sizes
+1
Level 32
Mar 20, 2023
Jamaica is not even close to the fouth smallest. It's the fifth largest island in the Caribbean.
