no, the Algerian movement against the reelection of Bouteflika is not part of the Arab Spring. and the Sudan events aren't either.

I managed 100% but a couple of these could be tricky for some. I'm guessing a lot of people probably guessed Egypt for the country with the most Muslims question, and I wouldn't have known the Africa Union HQ was in Addis Ababa if I hadn't walked past it once.

Ironically those were two that I got pretty easily, and I didn't get 100% xD

I assumed there would be enough Copts in Egypt to put Mauritania ahead of it, and I made an educated guess on Ethiopia since it was a famous empire that withstood colonialism*.

I missed the Arab Spring and African elephants ones, though.

Are there people that dont know about the dodo?? Shocked at how low the score was. I know not everyone's knowledge base is the same, but some things you expect to be rather universal. Like a picture of the eiffeltower, would be weird if it only scored 20%. And to me dodo is as synonymous with Mauritius as eiffeltower is with Paris. Even moreso actually, with dodo and Mauritius I cant think of one without thinking of the other. While with paris I can

Yes, the story of the dodo itself is far more famous than the relatively insignificant nation of Mauritius

Each one that i missed was in a toss up with what turned out to be the right answer. I missed each one of my 50/50 guesses.

I think for the Dodo question, you are supposed to use "is" instead of "was" because while the dodo is extinct, the country remains famous. Otherwise, nice quiz!

I got all correct. I kinda struggled on question 13. though because I wasn't sure if it was Senegal or Morocco. Otherwise this was easy peasy;)
