Cool quiz but I was steaming right along... got 58 correct with almost no guessing and then I ran out of time right around the tallest building/mountains part.
I also got Mr. "Kaching" (appropriate name, never heard of him) when I was trying to type in Libya.
Finally, there are so many great schools in the USA, how did you determine that MIT was #1? I often see Harvard, Yale, Princeton or Stanford ranked above MIT. Occasionally others, too. And Oxford is frequently ranked higher than Cambridge. I was confused about that category because Cape Town came up, then Sao Paulo when I was still on other categories, so I thought you were looking for cities not University names. I then got Cambridge because I was guessing Cambridge, Massachusetts. Wasted some time guessing New Haven, Boston, Palo Alto, and then ran out of time.
I think if you know all or a large majority of the answers right off the top of your head like I do then you ought to at least be able to get to the end of the quiz without running out of time... I would increase the time limit by somwhere to the tune of 50-100%
Hey, relessness. Where did you find data for your "Most Common Language by Native Speakers" column for each continent? We're making a quiz on the top five for each continent, and hopefully you're source has those listed as well :)
Hi! Sorry I have no idea? I genuinely can't find it. But there might have been a chance I worked it out myself somehow, but seriously can't remember. If I remember/find the source, I'll comment on one of your quizzes with the link
