Pictured in the thumbnail is the flag of Nauru. The star indicates its position relative to the equator. (But not included on the quiz because it's sudden death and a very obscure country).

I do (occasionally) try to make quizzes easier, but can definitely forget that sudden death makes potential wrong answers much more punishing haha

It's the 2nd least guessed country on COTW, by that definition Sao Tome is the only obscure country haha. Especially in sudden death it'd be (or, was) much more punishing

Including countries that are on both sides of the equator as wrong answers is a good touch

Wow I guess I don’t know my world map well enough. I was certain Peru and Tanzania were on the equator

I believe Kiribati has islands that are both North and South of the equator but no island crosses the equator

That is correct. Kiribati is the only country with land in all 4 hemispheres

It's up to 5, apparently more believable than both Bolivia and Tunisia...

Lizardman's constant in action: after being told not to touch the equator, 5% of people will touch it anyway.

Short answer, no, long answer, it would need someone smarter than me because there's no way to randomly sort only above or below the equator, or for the quiz to know which side of the equator each country would be on

Completely misread the instructions and died quickly around 5 times before realizing I was to click the ones correctly placed.

Think of the quiz like the planet. The equator is in the center. You have to click all the countries that are in the correct location relative to the equator, for instance, New Zealand is south of the equator, and is south of the EQUATOR bubble on this quiz, therefore it's a correct answer.
