How come you don't count Oceania as in all four hemispheres, seeing as even Kiribati by itself checks that box? And if you're only counting mainland and not islands, then Africa does not reach all four hemispheres either if I'm not mistaken. Great quiz nonetheless :)

You're mistaken on the second statement, mainland Africa is in all four hemispheres (north, south, east, west). But Oceania clearly is too, so the question is wrong.

Its just a bad question or at least poorly stated. Clarify it please. There are many ways to count the continents and many of them dont count Oceanian islands as a continent

Good quiz, would be better, in my opinion for what it's worth, with some explanations. Oh and just to nit-pick, you spelt fiction wrong on the Black Plague question. Sorry.

I'm confused by the Switzerland answer, it is the administrative capital and it's the answer Jetpunk accepts as the capital. Am I missing something?

Cool quiz, but there's one thing you should change - black death isn't caused by a virus, but by bacteria called Yersinia pestis.
