Africans speak French but, like me, are lousy conversationalists.

Explanatory note (or rewording of the clue) might be helpful on this one. I'm not sure if "False" here means "The majority of people in Africa do not speak French" or something like "They do, but the dialects are not mutually intelligible."

Many africans speak French (at least as a vehicular language), but not a majority. For example, in Nigeria, South Africa, Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, Sudan and even Egypt, there aren't many French speakers.

There is no ambiguity here. The majority of Africans do not speak any French at all.

Agreed that the answer is clearly "False." Just thought it would be nice for a note to pop up after the answers show that says something like "Less than X% of Africans speak French."

Honestly did better than I thought I would. To think about a year ago I would have hardly known Switzerland was a country. Man Americans are dumb when we don't apply ourselves. But I suppose that goes for everyone, just other countries apply themselves to geography more than Americans do. (I'm talking about the country not the two continents, by the way.)

As a Czech its really funny to see that there are people who think that Bohemia is not a real place...

The low percentage of people that know that Poles are Slavs is kinda weird though.

Anecdotal evidence. I might as well say that I'm a human therefore I know that everyone can speak English. Just because you're from French speaking region doesn't make it true for most in Africa.

“Each of the islands of the Bahamas is known as a ‘Bahama’, singular” is correct according to Wiktionary (https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Bahama).

Yup. And it's supported by notes and uses in the Wikipedia article on the Bahamas, which emphasize it.

I thought the Amsterdam question was a trick question, I knew it had loads of islands. I thought maybe they were just paved over in a way that meant they weren't bridges.

The only alternative I could think of was that it had hundreds of tunnels, then I remembered that I've been there and of course there are many, many bridges.

Maybe place for Bohemia should be changed to like region or something. I know two communities with that name in Jamaica, one's on the map and one is only used by locals. So it'd be hard to know if a place really exist with that name.

The fact that there is more than one place called Bohemia only reinforces the question as it stands.

Bohemia exists as much as Transylvania. Don't know why people fantasize about it. The same sceptics wouldn't doubt the existence of Bavaria or Pennsylvania.

I already thought the Bahama thing would be false, but I wanted it to be true so badly xD
