Northernmost Countries Quiz

+2

Level 69

Jul 31, 2013

Just barely but in Latvia seconds before it ended. Close one.

+19

Level 31

Dec 20, 2015

I'm surprised. I would think if you knew Estonia and Lithuania, that Latvia would be a no-brainer.

+1

Level 37

Jul 20, 2018

Well, maybe he thought of them 10 seconds or so before time. Or he doesn't group the three countries together in his mind, like you do.

+1

Level 54

Aug 1, 2013

Was whipping through until I couldn't get Kazakhstan...

+1

Level 43

Aug 19, 2013

surely EIRE should be correct?

+14

Level 65

Feb 13, 2016

They can't make a answear right in all languagers, Eire is Irish, not English, soo.... like me as a Norwegian, would write Irland, neither Ireland or Eire.

+1

Level 75

Jun 8, 2018

But it is more than reasonable to allow the name of the country in the language of that country. After all, that IS the right answer, not an English translation.

+17

Level 71

Jul 3, 2018

This quiz is in the English Language and therefore the answers not surprisingly are in English. Likewise if I go on a French Language quiz I expect (and am proved correct) that the answers are in French e.g. In a World Countries in French Language the answer for Ireland is 'Irlande' not Eire or Ireland ....

+8

Level 59

Jul 20, 2018

Hardly any people speak Irish. If you allow "Eire," you might as well allow the Polish for Ireland because there are about 200,000 native Polish speakers while there are only about 100,000 Irish speakers.

+1

Level 61

Sep 4, 2018

No because while it is Ireland as gaeilge few irish people call the country by that name on a regular basis.

+1

Level 16

Aug 20, 2013

I missed ireland (I should have got it) belarus and kazakhstan only thought of netherlands at the very end and just got it. :)

+2

Level 12

Oct 5, 2013

missed netherlands

+1

Level 61

Oct 18, 2013

Alaska isn't USA? Alaska is more north than anyone

+12

Level 17

Dec 14, 2014

It is, it's a state of the USA and the USA is an answer anyways

+4

Level 56

Feb 17, 2015

USA is listed as 71 degrees North. The lower 48 stops at the so-called "49th Parallel", so the part of the USA which makes it count on this quiz is undoubtdedly Alaska.

+4

Level 48

Jan 28, 2016

Even though parts of Barrow, Alaska are slightly farther north than Knivskjellodden, Norway, Spitsbergen is much farther north, as is Russia and Canada, evident from the coördinations given in the quiz.

+2

Level 37

Jul 20, 2018

Coördinations, though. I like it!

+1

Level 48

Jan 4, 2022

I think they counted the Svalbard Islands as a part of Norway.

+1

Level 28

Dec 15, 2022

there are way more northern places than alaska

Sep 4, 2018

You reply, almost 5 years later. Should churros STILL feel stupid?

+1

Level 31

Dec 3, 2013

I only missed Kazakhstan... I would have never thought that it is more northern than Germany!

+3

Level 63

Dec 16, 2013

On maps it really looks like Mongolia is further north than Ukraine... It didn't accept Mongolia so I didn't put Ukraine as I assumed it was further south...

+3

Level 70

Feb 29, 2016

I know; I was also surprised at the lack of Mongolia.

+2

Level 69

Mar 29, 2016

it looks close, but if you look up the latitude of the most northerly point in each country, you will see that the Ukraine just barely edges out Mongolia for the last spot on the list

+1

Level 38

Dec 30, 2013

So easy.

+2

Level 73

Jan 21, 2014

Some of the claims on these quizzes seem a little far fetched at times. Somebody claimed to do this one in 31 seconds. Really? I mean come on, seriously! Even if I had the list of countries right in front of me it would be a trick to type all 20 in 31 seconds.

+4

Level 59

Jul 20, 2018

I did it in 41 seconds and I wasn't even typing that quickly. It depends on your typing speed and knowledge of the latitudes of countries. It's not that surprising considering the amount of geography fanatics here on JetPunk.

+1

Level 33

Jan 25, 2022

Level 53

Apr 8, 2022

no matter what the quiz is, the answer "circle" is always a pointless answer

+1

Level 43

Apr 15, 2014

8 seconds left and guessed Kazakhstan for 20/20! Phew!

+1

Level 52

Apr 27, 2014

Actually, if you count Greenland, Denmark is 1st.

+1

Level 49

Feb 19, 2016

In the directions, it excludes overseas territories, so Greenland would not count.

+2

Level 67

Apr 27, 2014

just missed iceland, seems so obvious now.

+1

Level 48

May 4, 2014

Got them all first try =) Almost missed Ukraine. Doing these geography quizzes are really easy when you have the countries of the world and capitals of the world quizzes on lock. :P

+2

Level 33

Jan 19, 2017

you are not supossed to have al the name and capital write down on a lock, whan u take this test...

+1

Level 71

Jul 3, 2018

There are some people that think it is cleverer to win by cheating than to actually have the knowledge:

+1

Level 59

Jul 20, 2018

I can't tell if you're implying that Instrumental is cheating or just trying to point something out.

+2

Level 69

Jul 20, 2018

I think this is just a misunderstanding of an idiom and not realizing that Instrumental just has these things committed to memory at this point rather than having them literally written on a lock.

+1

Level 66

May 8, 2014

Got them all with 02:57 left.

mongolia ? its north then china

+3

Level 84

Feb 18, 2015

"It's farther north than China."

than, not then.

Also, north is not a superlative.

Also, no, it's not.

+1

Level 41

Dec 7, 2015

Best comment I've ever read!

+2

Level 23

Jul 3, 2016

Also, North deserves a capital.

+1

Level 74

Feb 15, 2017

physics: Japan had to give up Manchukuo some time ago.

+1

Level 83

Feb 15, 2017

Should have said "North is not a comparative."

Level 54

Feb 15, 2017

This person is clearly not English, don't be an *sshole

+1

Level 84

Feb 15, 2017

Flute, okay fair enough. I'm sometimes stingy with my capitals. Interopia, five different grammar textbooks will use five different words to describe the same thing.

+1

Level 84

Feb 15, 2017

robbie. I'm not being an asshole.

+1

Level 56

Feb 15, 2017

Classic kalbamahut!

+2

Level 67

Sep 4, 2018

@Silver, in this case it doesn't. @kalbahamut, I would be interested to have a reference to a textbook that says a comparative is the same thing as a superlative (an English one, as I know they are in some languages). A superlative is an adjective or adverb describing the highest degree of something, whereas a comparative describes one thing as having a greater degree of a certain quality than another.

+1

Level 84

Jun 25, 2021

I'm not going to go hunting for examples, but with decades of experience teaching English I promise you I've seen what I described above.

+1

Level 67

Oct 24, 2016

Why wouldn't you look at a map before you would make a comment like this?

+1

Level 41

May 26, 2019

Clearly not!

Look at a map BOY!!!

+1

Level 26

Sep 26, 2014

Guys, just remember this concept: Scandinavia, North America, Low country, Baltics, Northern Slavic countries, and Central Asia (of course I can't give too much info)

+3

Level 75

Jul 21, 2018

And you'd still miss the British Isles

+1

Level 44

Oct 5, 2014

Cool. With 2:54 left. Would not have thought that my home Germany is amongst the "top" 20 countries of the world ... And the US were the second last I put in.

Really a nice idea!

+1

Level 53

Oct 13, 2014

hold it... Mongolia is north of china, and almost is completely even with Ukraine. Greenland I understand is part of denmark

+1

Level 56

Oct 23, 2014

Just a personal thing ... I'd make it so Holland and the Netherlands both count. Cus there's no right or wrong answer there as far as I'm aware.

+4

Level 63

Apr 14, 2016

Holland is not a country. North Holland and South Holland are provinces IN the Netherlands.

+2

Level 70

Feb 15, 2017

...but the name Holland is pretty commonly used as a pars pro toto for the Netherlands. For instance, the song 'Hup Holland Hup' doesn't exclude the other 10 provinces.

+2

Level 25

Oct 25, 2014

Forget china....

+1

Level 19

Nov 12, 2014

2:26 first try! oh yeah!

+1

Level 30

Feb 16, 2017

I got 2:21 left on my first.

+1

Level 69

Nov 28, 2014

Didn't realize Kazakhstan was so far North. Also, I tried Mongolia forgetting that in one part China is farther North, so when that didn't work I didn't try China.

+1

Level 23

Dec 4, 2014

got em all with 1:23 left!

+1

Level 66

Dec 4, 2014

2:42 left :)

+1

Level 28

Dec 23, 2014

I thought mongolia was north of china?

+1

Level 44

Feb 15, 2017

For the most part yes, but China's northernmost point is further north than Mongolia's northernmost point.

+1

Level 16

Dec 23, 2014

should allow holland for netherlands too!!

+1

Level 43

Feb 17, 2017

Do they allow " the 13 Colonies" for the U.S.?

+1

Level 54

May 7, 2017

No, because Holland is only one province of the Netherlands

+1

Level 77

May 10, 2017

So you presumably insist on the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland?

+1

Level 59

Jul 20, 2018

There's a difference between shortening the name of a country in the name of simplicity and just including regions and provinces as type-ins. If Holland were allowed, the amount of arguments for each of the 50 states to be type-ins and for England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland to be type-ins for their respective sovereign states would be astronomical.

+1

Level 57

Jun 17, 2022

lol chill down mate. we know holland is a part of the netherlands but we also know it's a very common name to refer to the whole country. yes it's technically wrong but so what, don't be so pedantic

+1

Level 56

Jun 25, 2021

that's like saying Nunavut for Canada.

+1

Level 25

What about that the age doesn't matter at all?

+1

Level 51

Feb 15, 2015

Maybe I'm missing something, but aren't the Faroe Islands a sovereign nation? And aren't they further north than the UK?

+8

Level 84

Feb 15, 2015

You are missing something, and that something is that the Faroe Islands are not a sovereign nation.

+1

Level 75

Feb 15, 2017

That's open to debate! I personally think it is a country.

+4

Level 36

Feb 15, 2017

Well, the Faroe Islands are a country, but not a sovereign nation

+2

Level 61

Feb 15, 2017

But we can agree that they're not a sovereign nation, right?

+5

Level 59

Aug 22, 2017

@Jerry928: you can think of the Faroes as a sovereign country to your heart's desire, but that doesn't make the international community agree with you.

+2

Level 44

Nov 13, 2017

Kinda like Pluto

+1

Level 67

Sep 4, 2018

@Jerry, I'd be interested to know if you think the Isle of Man is a sovereign country. My understanding is that the relationship is similar.

+1

Level 24

Feb 15, 2015

Quiz suggestion: Find out what the latitude of the average square mile in a country is in relation to the North pole. Then, use this info to make a quiz. I would not know how to do this, so I'll give my idea to you.

+2

Level 67

Sep 4, 2018

There are a few ways to define the exact centre of a country. You can find the point inside it furthest from a border or coastline (in maths this is called the incentre). Alternatively you can try to find a centre of mass (centroid) assuming an equal distribution of mass. This will heavily depend on what you count (e.g. including French Guiana as part of France will move the centroid possibly into Spain?)

+1

Level 36

Feb 15, 2015

Great quiz! Got all but that elusive Kazakstan. I can't tell you guys how many times I type in Belarus on various geography quizzes, only to not have it show up ever. Nice to see it finally cracks the list for something.

+1

Level 24

Feb 15, 2015

Got all but Belarus

+3

Level 79

Feb 15, 2015

So everybody seems to accept Ukraine is that far north as to make it on this quiz?! It's on the damn Black Sea, which makes it practically Mediterranian! Took me a bit to guess that one. And still it makes it further north than Mongolia. Yep, signing up for club "Mongolia, you are further north than that, right?".

+1

Level 81

Feb 17, 2017

What kind of logic is this? USA and China are partly in the tropics, and Russia is on the Black Sea/Mediterranean as well. Ukraine is not that small and despite having nice warm beaches in summer, it has evry cold winters.

I think part of the confusion is that the Mediterranean is further north than one would think. NYC is south of Rome, and the beaches at Odessa are further north than Minneapolis or Montreal.

Nov 12, 2015

Took a while to get Kazakhstan tho

+1

Level 65

Dec 1, 2015

I got them all, but a map really messes up your perception of north/south. I was convinced that Ukraine is farther south than Japan, North Korea, Mongolia, South Korea, and even Mexico.

+1

Level 55

Dec 17, 2020

Mexico is mostly tropical. Its northernmost point doesn't reach Libya's northernmost point.

+1

Level 56

Jun 25, 2021

a common misconception with maps in general is that Europe is much further south. Odesa, Ukraine is about in line with Montreal, Canada. And New York is just south of Rome.

Homeland of Genghis Khan, who founded what would eventually become history's largest contiguous land empire. Sadly, with its current borders, it just doesn't make it onto this list.

+1

Level 67

Sep 4, 2018

I live in Manchester, which is on the same latitude. The other side of the problem is having to get up before the sun rises in winter. I've never really noticed much difference in other countries I go to, possibly because I more often go on holiday in August (where there isn't as much difference), possibly because the furthest south I've been is only around 35°N, and possibly because I get up later on holiday anyway.

Aug 2, 2016

I love all the people disputing the answers to this, especially the 'But Mongolia is north of China!' crowd. Objectively that is not the case, Manchuria, specifically Heilongjiang, is more northerly. If you really don't believe it, Google Maps or Google Earth can display the latitude of any point. It's very easy to check.

Level 62

May 22, 2018

I never really look at both sides of Asia at the same time, and think to myself to compare how high up Belarus, the Ukraine or Kazakhstan comes compared to the likes of Mongolia, Japan or South Korea... I could eventually figure out everything here - but I tried a lot of wrong things first.

+1

Level 75

Jun 8, 2018

Without checking the map, I suspect that Mongolia is on the whole higher than Belarus or the Ukraine, just not quite so far North.

+1

Level 55

Dec 17, 2020

Mongolia ranges from 41 degrees to 50. Ukraine from 45-52 (44 if you count Crimea). And Belarus is north of Ukraine. So they're more northern both in average latitude and northernmost latitude.

+1

Level 40

May 22, 2018

How is China there and not Mongolia?

Level 49

May 22, 2018

There is a part of China more north than Mongolia if you look on a map.

Jul 3, 2018

Cape Soya is the Northernmost point of Japan at 45o 31' n .... Mongolia for instance has Northern points in the 50s north and they are not on the list either. Ukraine is 53o22'n and is last on the list.

I think you need to specify which definition of 'northernmost' you mean. It became clear from the answers that it must be based on how far the northernmost point of the country is, but 'northernmost' can also be defined by things like how far north the country's median latitude is or how far north its southernmost point is, or how far north the population is on average, and it was not clear from the title which of these many definitions was intended.

North Korea is nowhere near this level. I think it goes to about 41, whereas the lowest country on this list is 52. Japan, too, is only about 45. Belgium is close however. Mongolia is somewhat close, I think it goes up to 49 or 50 (but might be closer than I think).

To author: you should make an explicit statement that overseas departments of France do not count (St Pierre and Miquelon borders northern province of New Foundland, Canada). Either that, or include France and drop Ukraine.

And no these overseas departments are NOT colonies or territories like Puerto Rico, they are an integral component of France. This is the reason why France's longest land border is with Brazil (another interesting factoid).

St Pierre and Miquelon is not an overseas department though, it's just a territory. All of France's actual overseas departments are further south than mainland France.

Even if you include overseas territories, France would not be included. St Pierre & Miquelon is considerably further south than the northern part of metropolitan France.

That's fair. The United States outside of Alaska doesn't get anywhere near this level of latitude. And Alaska is "across the sea territory" I must say.

I cannot agree with this, as an American. Before Alaska became a state, then I may agree with this, but Alaska is part of our fifty states, so therefore it is our mainland and not an overseas territory.

it actually does get reasonably close, the northernmost point is Angle Inlet at 49 N. But Alaska is a state, as well as Hawaii, this was confirmed in 1959.
