Ah, I remembered the Karen people and kinda assumed there would be a city of the same name. Well, at least I only missed one.

If all the Karens demanded to live together, that city would be approximately twice the size as NYC...

Only if you think there are ~4.5 million people living in New York, and not the nearly 9 million everyone else seems to count it as.

Re: the cardinal directions question, I would say there is no East country either. According to the UN's list of countries, it's Timor Leste only!

It doesn't change the answer though, so that's really not a problem.

There's still North Korea and South Africa, and even then, Timor-Leste is just Portuguese for East Timor, still has a cardinal direction in its name.

North Macedonia would probably be a better example. North Korea is represented in the UN as the "Democratic People's Republic of Korea". A sick joke of a name, but their name nonetheless. Also, fun fact, Timor translates to East in Malay. That means their name translates to East East.

But you can't translate it through both portugese and malay at the same time. So it's either Timor-East or East-Leste

I think Question 5 could be worded differently because it looks confusing to me. A better wording could be:

"There is at least one country that starts with each of the cardinal directions (North, South, East, West) in the United Nations."

I think it could be worded even better than this but I can't think of something.

North Korea, East Timor, and South Africa are all members of the United Nations

Yeah... they're saying to word the question differently, not asking about what the answer is.

I know it says ‘and’ and not ‘or’, but I think I was thrown of by the ‘at least one’ without ‘of each’. I was definitely thinking that it was just asking if there was a country with a cardinal direction in the UN. Only one I missed.

I also got it wrong for this reason, not because the question is hard but because of the way it has been phrased.

By asking: There is at least one country in United Nations who name starts with "North", "South", "East", and "West", which is grammatically incorrect in the first place, one might come to understand that the question is that there is at least ONE country starting with a cardinal direction whilst there is actually more than one.

Silly me... I went back and changed #1 because I thought there couldn't be three false ones in a row and that was the one of the three where I wasn't 100% sure.

You'd be surprised of the odds, the probability that 3 random coin tosses are either all heads or tails is 1/4. And for 15, there are 13 series of 3.

If the result was pure random, it's actually overwhelmingly likely to have 3 true or 3 false in a row

What about Western Sahara? I know it isn't a "country", but what is its status in the UN? I thought the UN saw it as independent, but I'm not sure.

^^^ This question is poorly worded. If I knew what it was asking I would have gonna it correct.
