The Isle of Wight is the largest island in the English Channel.

the question was:

"Largest island in the English Channel

(not counting the Isle of Wight)"

Nope. If anything, it's the Isle of Weft.

How about changing the clue instead? “Second largest island in the English channel” or “Largest of the Channel Islands [that's the name of Jersey's archipelago which the Isle of Wight isn't part of]” come to mind. It's a much more elegant solution because many sources name the Solent as a part of the Channel.

I know nothing about Alaska or Denmark, so I think 18/20 is fair.

Pokémon and Harry Potter questions are the death knell for my prospects of a perfect score. And may it always be so.

I thought it was a programming language. :) Americans have their "cup of java" in the morning. We have a Java Dave's coffeeshop in our town. I think it originally referred to a specific coffee from the island of Java, but now in the US it is just slang for any coffee.

I have never heard of tea being referred to as Java. In the US, Java, apart from being a programming language as ander217 stated, refers to coffee. At least it always has in my experience.

The logo for Java, the programming language, is also a coffee cup

"Jodphur" seems to be at least an acceptable, and maybe more standard, spelling. (BTW, thanks for another nice quiz.)

Wikipedia doesn't mention that spelling, so I'm not sure if it is accurate, but it will work now.

p.s. When in doubt just spell it without the H. We almost never require extraneous H's.

I knew all the questions except the ones about the 'good ol USA.' I don't know why I bother when in most geography related quizzes a disproportionate amount of questions are devoted to [outside of the US] insignificant geographical locations.

If only there were a feature on this site where non-Americans could make quizzes about topics that were immediate and relevant to them.

Of the three questions about the USA:

- One (Juneau) is asking about the capital of a region larger than over 170 sovereign nations.

- One (the Jefferson Memorial) is a major landmark in the capital of the US.

- Jackson Hole is fairly obscure to be fair, but it is still not at or close to the least guessed answer. Its also a beautiful area that you may recognize stunning photos of (specifically of Grand Teton NP at the north end of the valley). Regardless, its a place worth knowing about.

When you are unfamiliar with answers on a quiz like this, I would recommend using this as an opportunity to learn more about them - its much more rewarding.
