I was thinking Visa as in credit card. Couldn't think of anything but Mastercard or CapitalOne. I thought I missed some American credit card. Maybe you can replace it with a more straight forward question like what's the difference between a donkey and a mule, or a pig and a boar.
That was my first thought, too. I think it's because Visa is capitalized, which makes it look like a proper noun. (Similarly, I first thought "Cologne" was referring to the city in Germany.) No idea why this test has all the common nouns capitalized.
If you think searching the difference between 'visa and passport' is too ridiculous for a lot of people, you need to get outside more. For years I thought A1 sauce was America's HP.
I got it right aswell (thought went do they mean mastercard? No, ah, passsport then.) I agree there is no need to replace the question, but also agree that there is no need for random capitalisation even if most people got it correct.
if there was a question like in which country lies Moskow, most people would get the answer, that doesnt mean the question is correct
Good quiz. I finished all of them except for cement with nearly 4 minutes left though, then gave up because I couldn't think of anything. Two suggestions for type-ins: "morality" and "ax."
I can see Cologne/Köln, but dusk and dawn are opposites of each other and certainly won't need the question "What's the difference?" You may look for them in a different quiz.
if your country was as huge and diverse as the United States you'd probably have an easier time imagining it. But that oft-cited 40-50% figure also includes Americans who had valid passports at one time in their lives, but whose passports have since expired, just fyi.
Still, that leaves about a hundred million people in the US alone who have never had a passport, with the majority of the rest living in places like India, China, Indonesia and Brazil.
The USA isn't very diverse though, is it, except in terms of landscape? There's more variation in 300 miles of Europe or Indo-China than in 1000 of the USA. I think the main reason is that most of the USA is so far from anywhere else that's substantially different, so many people can't afford to travel outside the country.
I know a lot of people who travel for nature and landscapes, and in terms of that, the US can't be beat. It's not really why I travel, but I know so many people who have spent their whole lives traveling and never left the United States because there is so much to see and do there.
Also I daresay there is a greater cultural difference between New Orleans and Miami (863 miles) than between Brest and Bordeaux (400 miles). The US is not as monolithic as some people think. But I find this belief present a lot in people who just aren't familiar. From the Chinese girl I met who didn't know they spoke different languages in Spain and Poland, to the French girl I talked to before who said that she thought China, Japan, Korea, and Thailand were all essentially the same. To this comment here.
I was referring mostly to geographic diversity, which there is more of in the USA than in the entire continent of Europe. But... the US has cultural diversity, too. New England, the deep South, Hawaii, the West coast, all pretty distinct from one another. Many different cities are quite distinct on their own, too. And the US has greater ethnic diversity than Europe even if the prevailing culture is more uniform.
I know, you'd be surprised by the social and cultural you get just moving states. Even going from the Deep South to the Midwest--which, granted, isn't the MOST of a difference--I found that people speak differently, treat each other differently, expect different behaviors, and have different social norms. The geography in my example isn't too different though; I'll admit that much.
yeah there's also another several hundred million or so who have had passports, and traveled, but never had the need to apply for a visa because the places they traveled to didn't require them. Of the 61 countries I've been to I only needed visas for a handful, and some of them grant visas on arrival and you wouldn't even know the difference between it and an entry stamp unless you were paying attention.
A passport is more of a means of international identification, where applying for a visa is like requesting permission to visit nation. When I traveled to Brazil for business, I was required to obtain a visa from the Consulate there. One stipulation is that we had to explain what we were going to do while there and we also had to get the host company to prove why nobody in Brazil could do the work we were going to do. I also remembering something about having to get an invitation from the consulate first before we could apply for the Visa.
I also traveled to Costa Rica for business, and in that case all I needed was my passport.
You generally need a visa to work or study somewhere. I have a passport but needed a visa to move to Korea for the purpose of teaching here, and will need another one when I move to Australia to be with my fiance.
Anything that has to do with long-term residence, or moving more permanently to a country that is not your own, or visiting a country that does not have a travel agreement with your country, will require a visa.
I don't really understand what the difference is, because I'm not too sure what a visa is, so... there are probably many people like this, who kinda understand but not completely
Its really sad people don't know the difference between a simile and a metaphor, a ox and a cow, and especially the diference between a rhoumbus and a square.
The only one that took me several guesses was for warlock - tried witch, Wiccan, devil, demon, etc. - but eventually got wizard. Maybe it's due to me not being a Potterhead(?).
I seem to remember something about Wizards and Warlocks as some extra content something or other, probably in Warhammer or Magic the Gathering neither of which I play
Could you decapitalise Cologne so we stop mistaking it for the German city, it didn't click with me that it meant the 'perfume' sort until I remembered a thing where someone misspelled cologne to be colon.
For those in the comments saying it should accept alkali, yes it certainly should I just checked it (UK). But there is a slight difference between a base and an alkali but I forget what.
It seems a number of folks on this site do, judging by the comments here, although it's apparently less common. You might be interested in checking out this short article on the topic.

But I agree that Americans should travel more.

Base isn’t an American term, acids and bases are similar but two different terms…
