Found this easier by rephrasing each question in my head as e.g. South Sudan is to Sudan as South Korea is to _____ , Hispaniola is to The Dominican Republic as New Guinea is to ____ ___ ______ etc. Wonder if anyone else did the same.
Slovakia is the answer because it borders Hungary and about half of the population of Hungary. The same goes to Norway and Sweden. I think this is the most sensible solution.
No, the quiz isn't about bordering population countries. The instructions say Can you complete these geographic analogies based on positions on a map?. The only correct answer based on the quiz instructions is Ukraine.
How about asking instead "If Slovakia is Hungary"? Here all of Slovakia is due north of Hungary, so there's no debate there. Then offer an answer where all of a country is north of a neighbour - "Estonia is..." Latvia would work for example.
Can someone explain the Jamaica/Malta and US/Italy question? I can definitely see the connection between Italy and Malta, but not sure what connects the US and Jamaica. If it was cardinal directions, then Cuba would be north of Jamaica.
Some of these were definitely a stretch...Malta is a small island south of the larger land mass of Italy, Jamaica is a small island south of the larger land mass of the USA.
Great concept, agree that the Jamaica clue is the weakest. As for Sweden, from just about any point in Sweden, if you head North you arrive in Norway, and the reverse applies to Slovakia and Hungary, so a good clue really
In case anyone's wondering, I think Florida corresponds to Italy and Cuba corresponds to Sicily, and just south of eastern Cuba is Jamaica, and just south of eastern Sicily is Malta
I was a bit confused too, but since Aussie is often considered a continent, like Africa, NZ and Madagascar are the biggest island countries to the east of a larger continent.
But I think it is 'British Columbia' (with 'u' instead of 'o')
However, if we are talking long border, I suppose it could work. i thought that clue was the only weak one to be honest.
I suggest Cyprus/Malta and Turkey/Italy would be a good alternative too.
XD
I actually thought that was the convention unless stated otherwise but that's probably a silly assumption on my part.
The us states are much much harder to learn.
Inner Mongolia is a province in China,
New Mexico is a state in the United States.
Most of Togo is east of Ghana. The country that Oman is most due west of Oman is surely Saudi Arabia.
Good quiz but.
Mongolia is ________
If Rwanda is Estonia.
I couldn't wrap my head around it. Fun quiz after I started reading the analogies correctly!
