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.

I'm not sure I agree with your Norway/Sweden answer. Sweden is east of Norway, so what is east of Slovakia? Ukraine. Hungary is south of Slovakia.

Level 79
Feb 28, 2024
Good point, it seems more like a Croatia and B-H situation where one country sorta wraps around the north and west of the other.
+1
Level 79
Feb 28, 2024
Yes, I agree. If we are talking directions, then east of Slovakia would be Ukraine.

However, if we are talking long border, I suppose it could work. i thought that clue was the only weak one to be honest.

Sweden is both east and south of Norway. That's where the confusion comes in I think. The clue is not the best choice in my opinion.
+1
Level 44

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.
+3
Level 76
Mar 6, 2024
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.
+1
Level 76
Mar 6, 2024
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.
+9
Level 88
Feb 28, 2024
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.
+12
Level 79
Feb 28, 2024
Agree this one was a bit convoluted. Cuba would have been a better choice than Jamaica, because there are no other nations in between it and the USA.

I suggest Cyprus/Malta and Turkey/Italy would be a good alternative too.

I think the EU would be a better analogy here. Italy is Florida, Sicily is Cuba, and Cyprus is Hispaniola.

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

Hm. I suppose. I still don't love it, though, as Cuba & USA are different countries, but Sicily and (mainland) Italy are the same country...

Could there be a caveat or clause of some sort saying that there can be repeat answer(s)? Because most of these quizzes don't do so.

I actually thought that was the convention unless stated otherwise but that's probably a silly assumption on my part.

Don't really agree with Yemen for Oman-Togo/Ghana.

Most of Togo is east of Ghana. The country that Oman is most due west of Oman is surely Saudi Arabia.

Wow. I missed a line or something reading it and spent so much time trying to figure out

Mongolia is ________

If Rwanda is Estonia.

I couldn't wrap my head around it. Fun quiz after I started reading the analogies correctly!
