Great quiz, though!
I don't think that the question should be changed though, as the other quizzes in this series do specify when it isn't talking about all 50 and it adds difficulty to the question.
Nevermind, it's just next to that island, not on it.
That would be a fun concept though. Create a True/false quiz full of trick questions and then accept both answers for all of them.
This question could start:
"Of the thirty..."
"Of the forty..."
"Of the fifty..."
"Of the sixty..."
"Of the seventy..."
"Of the eighty..."
"Of the ninety..."
And the answer would still be true.
According to my counting, 48 of the 100 poorest countries in the world are in Africa by GDP (nominal) per capita, or 49/100 by GDP (PPP) per capita.
Pretty sobering.
