Only missed 1... Brazil has more population than Russia? Huh.

Em yes, by quit a large margin. Brazil has 212,5 million and Russia 146 million.

Russia is ranking 9th and Brazil 6th, but is likely to be overtaken by Nigeria in about 2 years. (Currently at 206 million, but an annual growth rate of over 5 million)

I actually find it surprising that you would find that surprising. Russia's whole deal is that it's mostly empty. What I do find surprising is that Bangladesh has more people than Russia, despite Russia being 115 times larger in area.

I thought Cuba has a bigger percentage of Catholics than Poland, in which I live. The most unfortunate part about it is that the only question I got wrong was exactly that question.

I am very curious what people answered on the latitude question. It scored very low (57% atm) For those who missed it, did you think beijing or new york? (Im gonna assume hard anyone went for paris, paris and london being so close it is rather obvious which is lower)

Beijing is the most southerly of the four. London and Paris are much farther north than the other two. For the record Beijing is at 39°54'N, NYC is at 40°43'N, Paris at 48°51'N, and London at 51°30'N.

Many ignore that Europe is quite far north. Warmer than its latitude should allow thanks to the Gulf Stream

The question about which city has the most air pollution is fascinating, as there has probably been some point in time when each of those would have been the correct answer, lol.

Nice quiz. I was actually very unsure between India and Tanzania in the fertility rate question, and as relatable as it is, it got the exact same percentage (41% - 41%). On question 8 and 5 I also considered the correct answers but chose the wrong one lol.
