But why? The French, Italian, Austrian Alps are also completely in the picture (and the German and Slovenian Alps, of course, though they make up a rather minor part). That's like showing a picture of the whole North American Cordillera and accepting Cascades or Sierra Nevada as answers. Or Texas for a picture of the whole USA. They're in the picture, but they're just a subdivision of the geographical object the quiz is asking for.

If "Swiss Alps" should be accepted, then "Italian Alps", "French Alps", "German Alps", "Austrian Alps" and "Slovene Alps" should be accepted as well.

The only reason i DID get venice is because it was zoomed in. Red roofs are typical in europe and more typical in Italy. Then when you see water where streets are supposed to be it makes sense that it's Venice.

Thanks, that explains why so many got it. I failed to see the water, but I tried other Italian cities: Rome (my first guess), Florence (not by the sea at all?), Naples.. Should've gone on.

All very easy except for Venice but that becomes easy, too, if you look closely enough at the picture.

Also, though personally I find this idiotic, over here in Saudi Arabia and in most Gulf states and Arab countries the Persian Gulf is called the Arabian Gulf. Sometimes to try and avoid controversy some will refer to it simply as "the Gulf," though this has not been good enough for Iran in the past. This is a recent change. On older Arabic-language maps the body of water is also referred to (in Arabic) as the Persian Gulf.

and I agree with those who are incredulous that so many missed it. It looks nothing at all like the Red Sea.

Huh, that's interesting about the Persian/Arabian name argument. I try to pay attention to the Middle East but I guess not enough. (I manage to pay attention to the Far East, at least, so not all's for naught.) As for myself, I missed the Gulf simply because I drew a blank. I knew what part of the world to think for but all the names I could think of were "Red Sea" and "Caspian Sea" and I know full well that neither look anything like that.

True. But it's too general. People in another part of the world likely have different body of water in mind when they read "The Gulf"

So is the Gulf of Mexico, and as EE stated, it's too general. Plus, it's not hard to type the word Persian, which you did after all.

At first, I was like "no way people can guess venice". Then I get back to the picture and zoomed in (on mobile), saw the canals, and realized I'm an idiot.

Still can't believe that so many people of Jetpunk cannot guess the Persian/Arabian Gulf.

It's the Persian Gulf and always has been. Insisting on also accepting Arabian Gulf is the equivalent of insisting that "freedom fries" be accepted as a type-in for french fries.

Yeah, I was about to say the same thing: since when are London, Paris, or DC *islands*? Sure, give global warming a few years and all those cities will also have canals instead of streets, but for now, Venice is the only one that's an island.

The relative lack of depth of the water, sediment in the water. Sea water is not always blue, local conditions are important (it's often grey or brown and murky round Britain :-) ).

Can I be the guy to complain that for France, it doesn't say "partial view"? I was surprised not to see that on here as there's always complaining about whether or not French Guiana is or is not a true part of France.

It clearly is, but I really don't care either way, as long as the geography quizzes keep coming...
