Nice Quiz! 13/15 then 15/15

Question, why do quizzes show as featured before they get on the main page? And why do you have an unfeatured quiz?

The whole of Philippines is within the Tropics zone. Maybe you got it confused with tropical climate, although Manila has tropical climate anyway (according to Wikipedia).

Florida is questionable. According to the given definition in this quiz (area between 23.4 °N and 23.4 °S), it is not in the tropics. However, there are other more scientific definitions of the tropics which follow climatic criteria. According to many of those the southernmost part of Florida (Florida Keys, Everglades, Miami area) is in the tropics.

I always learned that a rough estimate of the tropics is at the southern tip of Florida so I was considering it until I read the caveat about the entire area being inside or outside
