Pointing out an error and nitpicking are two different things, Malbaby.

Nitpicking is "looking for small or unimportant errors or faults, especially in order to criticize unnecessarily." So, they are actually the same thing, nios.

Nope, nitpicking is just pointing out an insignificant error, while pointing out an error applies to anything, big or small. So nitpicking is a way of pointing out an error, but not all errors are nitpicks.

I apologise in advance for the nitpick.

The question what state has the lowest population density cam straight after an Australian state question. Could be clearer - unless we are supposed to assume by default that questions are about the USA.

The quiz idea is amazing, but really... state flowers??

I have removed a few of the more US-centric questions, however remember that with many people taking this quiz, it is likely that a few people will end up with lots of questions from one particular area. It's how randomness works!

Is it really necessary to have highlighted boxes in this quiz? No other general knowledge quiz - or "random" quiz - has that. It's not like you can type a random answer and it magically appears somewhere, like in other quizzes.

Level 68
Nov 19, 2018
Since 20 questions are randomly chosen, there's no point in showing percentages since everybody gets a different set of questions. This is the case with all randomised quizzes.

The advantage is that you can refresh the page and play the same quiz, with a whole new experience!

You can also still go to the stats page after finishing the quiz (or appending "/stats" to the end of the URL to see how many questions people get right.

Most of these are derived from various featured quizzes. The idea is to not overwhelm the player with 100s of questions, but rather a random selection each time!

So I got a question asking the english name for Kobenhavn (imagine a dash across that O), and then right below that a question asking which swedish city is across the bridge from Copenhagen. One kind of spoiled the other. I don't know if this is fixable, but I just wanted to give you a "heads up"

Great quiz, just a couple of minor errors:

The "city" should be capitalised in "What was the former name of Ho Chi Minh city".

On the Carpathians question "wth" should be "with".
