Good quiz. I will admit I had to think about the North Pole question.

One year later… yes, that was it. I still think it's leagues harder than the rest of the quiz.

It's maybe more of a geometry than a geography question. But to be honest, the average person should still know how angles work and be able to figure this out with a bit of thinking.

Was really surprised by the extreme poverty question. My logic was that additional population from higher birth rates in poorer countries would've far outweighed improvements to living standards but I guess not.

This is quite old now, but check out this YouTube video. The creator has since passed, but in terms of living standards data presentations, he’s absolutely the best. This one graphs data from life expectancy and median (I think?) income of all countries over the 20th century.

There are actually less people living in extreme poverty today than in 1820.

In 1820 there were heaps of people in extreme poverty everywhere, even in the most developed countries. Now it's a phenomenon largely confined to the poorest, and I suppose that in itself immediately cuts out a good chunk of the world's population.

Don't take "extreme poverty" too seriously. The definition that's used is living at US$1.90 per day (in 2011 dollars). Try this: take $1.91 times 365 (let's make it an even $700) and then live for a year in a country of your choice (how about Bulgaria? India? South Korea?) And then, at the end of the year, tell me about your experiences - without using the term "extreme poverty."

It's this: if you define extreme poverty at a ridiculously low level, you almost define it out of existence. You essentially remove the issue.

While I'm not sure of this and can't be bothered to fact check, I think every nation goes through a population boom as they industrialize. So, if there's always been a few nations in the middle of that process at any point in time since the industrial revolution started, then I think this "higher birth rate in poor countries" would always factor into the numbers (including 1990).

So, you're probably looking at the stats, and seeing how 98% of people get "China bigger than France" correct. "Wow," you're thinking. "I wonder about the 2% of people who get that wrong." That would be ME. I somehow got true and false flipped in my head for two questions where I understood the answer but it came out of my head wrong.

I don't think the Puerto Rico question is a good one since it is a Commonwealth. In some sense, that's a territory, but it is called a "commonwealth" because it has some political attributes that are different from other territories of the US.

Puerto Rico is a territory that has the word “commonwealth” in its official name, just like Northern Mariana Islands which are also called “the commonwealth of…” in their official name. There are also 4 states called “the commonwealth of…” in their official names but it doesn’t make them different to other states.

I don't think the New York vs. Cairo question is particularly easy considering you're comparing a desert to a place that mostly gets snow rather than rain in the winter. Without having studied the particular weather patterns of each region, I don't think it's completely obvious which one would get more rain in the winter.

If only 53% of quiz takers can get a particular question on the "easy" quiz correct, perhaps it is hard enough to belong to a different quiz?

Was surprised at how only 21% of people got 15/15 on an "easy" quiz, then scrolled down and saw only 52% of people were getting the question on poverty. I remember reading it in a _New Yorker_ article discussing some of Steven Pinker's ideas, but it's probably remained salient to me because of effective altruism and Our World in Data–type paradigmata...
