17/22. Can't believe I missed Ghent. That used to be my main go-to nonsense word that I would type to occupy my mind whenever I was stuck on writing a paper or something like that.

This is not extremely difficult. The average score is 10/22 and there are only six questions guessed by less than a third of takers.

I myself found the quiz straightforward, I only missed Johor. So clearly false advertising to me, can't say I'm not disappointed.

Even on average, most regulars on this site know most countries, capitals, and major cities at least. Maybe if this quiz had Whammies it would be actually difficult.

Nice quiz. You might want to tweak the Nauru clue a little, because the refugee detention centre you allude to was closed in 2019.

Loved this! When around half the answers are below 50% (and you're dealing with JetPunk geo-nerds) I'd say your description seems fit. That said, I only got 13 right from the first go of things. Still very much enjoyed the mix.

It only has one coast, and this is the northern part of that coast (the 10 km in the south don't count)

It's better than a lot of quizzes on this site in that it at least has a few original clues and answers that haven't been used a dozen times already. 5 stars.

Only got 9...kept typing Salem! Why won't it take Salem???duh.

The easiest for me were evidently not for others - Ghent. Mosul, Tikal (Copan would be another good choice for a quiz like this.)

When it said "difficult", I expected to get only half or less. In the end, I missed only the Canadian mountain and where Martin Luther King marched. Not the basic knowledge on this side of the Atlantic...
