Some people do not know their cardinal directions. For example, I still have to do the 'Never Eat Soggy Waffles' acroynm because I never remember where east or west is.

Does anybody know a way to remember the small island countries (Madagascar is easy) like Mauritius, the Seychelles, Sao Tome and Principe, etc?

Level 16

Apr 24, 2018

São Tomé and Princeipe have two islands. Cape Verde is the closest one to the mainland(Becides São Tomé and Principe). Seychelles rooks like the farthest from the mainland, and I usually guess on the other ones and get them right.👍🏻👍🏻

Level 43

Mar 13, 2024

my own way is kind of funny: cape verde = close to morocco, sao tome = close to equator/equatorial guinea, comoros = close to madagascar, seychelles = farthest to everyone, and mauritus is the one that's not all of the above

The King should spend some of his hundreds of millions on the poor of his country instead of worrying about names. Seven out of ten live in abject poverty with incomes of less than $2 a day.

When you're not a geography geek ;P (no offence)

Level 61

Sep 12, 2018

The official short name of the Republic of The Gambia is The Gambia, not Gambia. Calling it Gambia is just wrong, fix it, please.

If anyone is wondering they chose to call it The Gambia, stead of just Gambia, because Gambia sound too similar to Zambia and they did not want people confusing them both.

Level 61

Sep 12, 2018

Also, Swaziland has recently changed its name to eSwatini, so you should also fix that. :)

I always have trouble with Sierra Leone, Liberia, Guinea, and Guinea Bissau. Idk why, my mind just can't keep them straight.

Level 89

Jan 16, 2020

I used to have trouble with them as well. My strategy was to remember that Sierra Leone is shaped kind of like a circle, Guinea-Bissau was the smallest of the four, Liberia is the southernmost and Guinea is the one that touched all of the others. The two countries that I get mixed up on Benin and Togo.

Level 51

I have tried this quiz 4 times now and have never gotten Gabon or Zambia correct. But I'm improving! I know all the island countries now apparently. And I finally got burkina Faso. You would think Zambia would be easier. I run out of time, too.

One tip for people who have trouble distinguishing countries that come in 'pairs' like Niger and Nigeria, Zambia and Zimbabwe, Eswatini and Lesotho.

Work them down alphabetically. E.g. the northernmost country of the pair is the one that would come first in the alphabet.

I also have trouble distinguishing between Angola and Namibia, and that rule works too there.

Have fun quizzing!

I wish there were versions of these map quizzes where you don't know the answers until the end. If it was like that you wouldn't be able to rely on process of elimination which would make it more challenging
