Not if the people taking the quiz make a biased sample of the global population, which they do. Most of the quiz-takers on this site are North American or European, so we can't expect them to recognize the faces of somewhat obscure yet quite influential Asian and African world leaders.
It comes down to whether this quiz is about influential leaders on the western world, influential leaders to the world, or influential leaders in the country’s history.
I did not know the names, or even the faces of of many of the leaders from the global South or East, but then I live in the West. Leaders can be influential beyond their country and within one of those three regions, so the West is not the only region to consider in terms of world leadership.
Should accept "bin Zayed" for the UAE president; that's how he is most commonly named in the Media. You did the same for Muhammad bin Salman, even though technically his family name is Al Saud.
i think it would be great if when the answers are revealed (either when you guess them or at the end) the country they're the leader of appears after their name. we'd all learn a bit and it saves everyone having to look them up
I love this quiz. I am studying for the Geo Bee for my school currently know 31. I wish that ardern was removed from this quiz because it is just more names that I have to memorize.
