I was evidently the 77th person to take this quiz, and every one of them had a perfect score! Good thing so many people are familiar with Costa Rica.

You were probably in the first few after it got reset, since QM changed it a little before featuring it, thus reseting the stats.

Given the fact Costa Rica just made same-sex marriage legal, my first guess was Gender Neutral. I have to say I am disappointed.

I wondered if the name 'tico' came from the Daewoo Tico car that is used very widely as a cheap taxi in Peru (and maybe other nearby countries??) but apparently it's because Costa Ricans make the diminutive form by adding -tico/-tica. ¡Qué hermostico!

Those things came back. Abolished means to put an end to something for ever.

If I remember right, Costa Rica has seven provinces/states - and four of their capitals are in metro San Jose. That's pretty unique.

Did this get updated? Thought I already took it but my points disappeared. And some of the questions look unfamiliar now.

That lizard’s name sums up my thoughts when I read half of these questions! Lol

That is one ruddy tough quiz. A third of the questions I couldn’t even guess at. Bizarrely enough, in Britain we don’t have a slang term for a Costa Rican!
