Quite pleased with myself here - got 18 of them on the first guess. Got the remaining two in 2 guesses for Ohio (behind Cincinnati) and 3 for oranges (behind Spain and India).

But it's not debatable that those are the two longest, so if one is given, the answer has to be the other.

Urgh there's always that one random question that massively favours Americans to stop me getting 5/5

Only one question about the US and it has a common sense answer that doesn't "massively favor" anyone.

I couldn't disagree more - the question about Ohio is on a par with asking what's the second largest city in Lorraine, or Brandenburg, or KwaZulu-Natal. It's not an invalid question, but for non-Americans is significantly harder than the others, I'd say. Like @mrpepperdine I feel just slightly aggrieved at my 19/20, but it's quite a common thing on Jetpunk. Which is after all an American site.

Yeah y'all are right. I forgot the Ohio question was in there, I thought he was referring to the second most spoken language question

The question about the islands of the Philippines is probably going to be easier for Filipinos than non-Filipinos. Is your complaint that people from different places might know different things? Because... yup, that's how it works.

Is there a reason why it wouldn't accept "honshu"? I do not have the capability of the punctuation over the final "u" on my keyboard.

I thought the first question was asking which other country had the most English speakers. I need to stop drinking decaf.
