Started off well 2/2 then that was it. Japan is obviously not my knowledge area.

9/10 for me today, Tokyo is further south than I thought, it seems 😅 Really need to learn my latitudes haha. The expensive fish was also a bit of an educated guess.

I know about the latitude because a disaster documentary I watched as a kid said that Tokyo and San Francisco while are across the ocean are having the same risk of a catastrophic earthquake

I took “across the ocean” as face value so yeah, that why I got correct on this

Also, if you think about it, London and NYC are like… really far up north.

I’m higher than you! Feel awesome ngl!

Look at a mercator map, that guides marine navigation. So weird that there are campaigns calling to take the mercator projection out of education because of the (well-understood) distortion of land masses.

But... It's not exclusive to the Mercator projection. All projections will put Tokyo and Los Angeles on (nearly) the same latitude. It's OK if you like your Mercator (I don't), but I don't see how that's an argument. People are not mistaken because of the projection they're familiar with (many people here, I assume, had maps in their schools based on Mercator projection anyway), but because they couldn't recall the respective positions of Tokyo and L.A.

No disagreement at all, especially with latitudes closer to the equator. I'm just used to working with nautical maps since I need to navigate the waters....and I can pretty easily picture where the major cities are relatative to latitudes when I picture trans-ocean trade routes, etc.

yeah, that one really surprised me. I've seen European projections - need to work on the Asian ones

The latitude question had me stumped. I eventually guessed: correct, but obviously under 980 points.

Still: 10/10

A lot of these were extremely surprising to me considering I took a world history class not too long ago.

Even as someone living in Japan, I had to give the last question some thought. I do know there's Japanese settlements in Brazil, so my thinking was they spread out to other South American countries as well.

When I saw the LB I thought it was going to be a hard one. I took Asian Studies in college, studied aikido for nearly 20 years, had a lot of Japanese friends, read a lot of Japanese authors, worked at a sushi bar, I know latitudes pretty well from marine navigation history....the only lucky guess was Q1, went with the Asian 'skin' color. 10/10 - 9,784...feels like udon for dinner!

Regarding the Peruvian head of state, Alberto Fujimori, I've long wondered if it's possible to compile a list of democratically-elected heads of state who are not part of their country's ethnic majority. I know ethnicity and heritage get murky quickly, so it might not be practical. But I can think only of Fujimori, Barack Obama, Leo Varadkar, Rishi Sunak, and Guy Scott (who was not elected president, but was elected vice president, then ascended to the presidency when the president died). I wouldn't count any white leader from apartheid South Africa, which wasn't really democratic.

Anyway, curious if there are others I'm missing.

Bashar al-Assad, dictator for life of Syria, is an Alawite, an ethnic grouping that makes up less than 10% of Syria’s population. Leopold Senghor, the first president of Senegal, On the fly, I'd imagaine there are dozens, German George Ludwig I of England, French leaders of Spain, UK leaders of goodness knows how many countries.

Most of the early presidents of Liberia were Americo-Liberians whose ancestors were indigenous to different parts of Africa. Makes for an interesting read, if you have the time.
