What are the richest countries in North America and South America based on GDP per capita?
Evil aliens have decided to kill everyone on Earth! Fortunately, they've given you two minutes to save as many as you can. All you have to do is name a country to save everyone in it.
On each line, you will see three countries. Guess the one that has the highest population of the three. One wrong guess and it's over.
Among these first names, click the ones where the average person in the U.S. with that name is at least 50 years old.

If you take the median country (by land area) of the 196 Jetpunk-recognized countries, then indeed you end up with Malawi, and taking the 10 on either side of that - for a total of 21 countries - you get exactly the list in this quiz.
Is the median the average? Eh, I dunno. You can argue it. But it's not entirely uncontroversial (case in point: the comments in this quiz) and if that's what the quiz-setter wanted, they should have explicitly said so.
But punting the countries into a spreadsheet and taking the mean area I actually get ~ 681,500km² (!!), the closest country to which is, uh... Australia. 😆
So by that measure, the 21 closest to the average are actually just the 21 largest countries. So I understand why the quiz-setter didn't want that. But again the quiz title/description should have then explicitly referenced "median."
