The big island is not the official name of it, as evident from your use of quotation marks. The "big island" is, or course, called Hawaii.

Scotland is very much a country. The sovereign state is the United Kingdom, of which Scotland is a constituent country along with Wales, England and arguably Northern Ireland.

This website makes everyone think it is not... and becuase it is excluded on the countries of the world (on the basis of not being sovereign) think they have it from an authorative source that it is not a country and people start stating it as fact and defending it like they know it all..

Then by the same logic the netherlands shouldnt be a country either (well, more comparable to england, because that is where the UK is ruled from) Because it is a kingdom (the kingdom of the netherlands) and does not only exist of the netherlands..

Scotland is a country in the context of the United Kingdom, because the United Kingdom calls its subnational divisions "countries". So yes, it's a country.

In a world-wide context, like a country-listing quiz, Scotland is not a country because it is not a sovereignty. The word "country" refers to something different in that context.

Is the United Kingdom a state? Yes, of course it is: in a world-wide context, it has the characteristics of statehood and it is a state.

Is California a state? Yes, because the United States calls its subnational divisions "states". So yes, it's a state.

If the UK and California are both states, does that mean I would list them together as peer entities on a "States of the World" quiz? No, I would not. It's the same word referring to different kinds of things in different contexts.

I'd probably say "Country (not sovereign)" as a qualifier rather than putting country in scare quotes, but the concept is pretty clear.

It is sometimes difficult to ask a question without giving away the answer. Most of the jetpunkers doing this quiz work out what is meant by the question without pulling it apart to see if it could mean anything else. Most of us know that 'Scotland' is a country (as is Northern Ireland and England and Wales) but the majority of the region given is clearly Scotland and so is the answer.

you just made the case against yourself 7/17 is A LOT (though I hadnt noticed myself, atleast not bothered by it) It is like saying I didnt drink a lot, just one bottle of whiskey, and a bottle of wine, and 10 beers..

Imagine going to a party and the entire evening nearly half of the numbers is by the same artist. You would definitely think that is a lot ! (well if you dont like that artist, when you love it you obviously cant get enough)

maybe another example works beter (where your opinion doesnt influence thinking it is a lot or not) I dont know, you buy kinder surprise egg and almost half of them you keep getting the same item. Instead of it being random (that is actually what usually happens though haha)

I am sure there are better examples, but I just cant think of them atm haha

Ow wait, I think I have one. (yes this is my creative outlet for the day.. it is late and then my mind gets creative..)

Imagine throwing a little party with your (elementary) school class. And everyone gets to pick out a song. There are eleven kids. The first ten kids get to pick out 1 song, the eleventh kid gets to pick out 7 instead of 1 though (so 7/17 is chosen by that one kid). Feels like a lot doesnt it..

(or maybe in a game, everyone gets one turn but one person gets like half the turns of everyone combined. Like there are 8 of you, everyone gets one turn, but number 8 gets 5 turns.. (5/12 is about the same as 7/17) again, that would feel like a lot I am pretty sure.

I think having "island" under Hawaii is misleading. Say all you want, but it would be a fairly easier answer if a better clue was given. 60% of people missed it which leads me to believe it was the clue.

It's very simple: If we're happy about Hawaii, then it's in Oceania. If we're upset about Hawaii, then it's in North America. The point is to come up with excuses to knock North America no matter what. These are Jetpunk users, after all.

Spending 35 years living in Sydney certainly helped! It just jumps out at me, but there can't be that many cities with a harbour with so, so many bays and inlets (and that's even with Pittwater and Port Hacking cropped out!)

Having said that, greater Auckland would be a great in a sequel, for similar reasons.
