Ha, did the same, tried Isle of Dogs and then couldn't think of any other islands in London. Didn't think of the whole country being an island.

Maybe the picture could be better, like a pic of the queen or a cup of tea or something, the Underground makes me think specifically of London not the UK.

The United Kingdom/UK is not synonymous with Great Britain.The UK includes Northern Ireland and several smaller surrounding islands. Great Britain is just the island that contains England, Scotland, and Wales.

"Official": Incorrect. The government of Chile officially refers to it as Isla de Pascua, or Easter Island.

"Original": Also incorrect. The Dutch called it Easter Island upon encountering it in 1722. It wasn't called Rapa Nui until the 1860s.

Life would suck if Tasmanian Devils became an invasive species and they were as common as pigeons or squirrels.

Jamaica has a really cool flag.

Alcatraz needs to be reopened as a prison because the idea of having a penal institution on an island within sight of San Francisco is slightly awesome.

"Great British Isles" isn't something I have ever heard of before. The archipelago I believe you are talking about are commonly referred to as several names, including the British Isles or the British-Irish Isles. The Irish and UK governments call them "these isles" in any documents that they create jointly (like the Good Friday Agreement).

There is also the term "British Islands" is different again - it's the UK, Isle of Man and Channel Islands.

Your suggestion is a plural name ("Isles") when the quiz is asking for answers that are single islands. Besides, there's no such thing called Great British Isles, never heard/seen that before reading this.

'Hawaii' is just as correct as an Anglicism. The symbol inbetween the i's looks like an apostrophe, but it is actually a seperate symbol which isn't used in English.

This is silly. It's not a base for pirates, though Somali pirates occasionally fuel in the seas nearby, and it doesn't have notably more venomous species than most other very hot places.

Ok, but the central city, including the part shown on the photo, is on the island. Yes there's lots of green in the mountainous centre, but "downtown" Hong Kong is on the island (of Hong Kong).

The original British colony was just the island; the rest of the colony grew out from there with the New Territories (the mainland part) annexed later.

Auckland is not an island, and contains many islands, none of which are called the North Island. There is no way that any one who knows New Zealand would see this clue and think of the North Island. Auckland is a city, and does not represent the whole North Island.

London and Havana aren't islands either, the point isn't to show pictures of islands, it's to guess which island is associated with the picture. There's meant to be some guesswork. I don't think it's misleading, I think people don't recognise the skyline of Auckland all that well.
