Fiji Water's not from Ohio. Their advertising slogan was, "The label says Fiji because it's not bottled in Cleveland." Cleveland wasn't happy about that and compared their tap water with Fiji water and discovered that Fiji water contained arsenic, (within FDA limits) but Cleveland's tap water contained none.
I am sure panama is there cause of the hats, and cuba cause of the cigars. france because of french kiss, china for the chinese wall, India for indian summer, turkey, well, for thanksgiving turkey ofcourse, brazil for brazilian wax. And I am sure I missed many reasons for the others :)
motomoto... I should have named my cat that, he is grey and quite chunky :D I described him like that the other day and then it clicked, hey that reminds me of someone haha
@madagascar only for 10-15 year olds maybe. Not that older people dont watch them, but because older people would have heard of the country before they would have heard of the movie
madagascar is the most obvious one to me. Then a tie between egypt and south africa. next would be morocco and dont know what I would ve choosen as 5th. But for the quiz I indeed guessed niger cause that seemed statistically probably (twice the chance because of nigeria and I think people (with a limitied amount of knowledge about africa) would type nigeria before congo, which obviously also has double the chance). Anyway no guesses needed.
I DID need em for asia.... I reallly couldnt think of what could be above japan... Other had no misses either, besides trying samoa on oceania (after having micronesia fiji and new guinea, but didnt think of new zealand and australia yet)
it is not indeed, but I think we also used to learn at school north south and central america separately (though I dont believe we were ever told central america was its own continent).
They should also add Fi-Wi, fihefurydhfjehsdyukji, FIjI, 800-588-2300FIJITODAY, IJIF, Fine Jill, Fiddles jiggle, Fyjy, and any other word that somehow represents Fiji.
I'm probably annoying you with my series already: http://www.jetpunk.com/user-quizzes/28534/most-guessed-country-by-continent-on-five-most-guessed-countries-by-continent-quiz
I was about to correct you and say that it is spelled "Columbia" only to google it and find out that the opposite is true! Columbia is the incorrect but widely used spelling of the South American country in the United States. Who knew?
I've never heard that. "Columbia" was the general term used in the U.S. for the new lands opened up to European settlement by Columbus's voyage. So, for example, the song "Hail, Columbia" was a very popular U.S. patriotic song, and kind of an unofficial anthem for the country for over a hundred years.
qcumber, the name of the country is definitely colOmbia anything else is just people spelling it wrong. There are places in the US that áre called columbia which might confuse some people. But that does not change the correct name or spelling of the country colombia.
@ala02 if they use colombia they are mistaken, because in american english it is still colombia, no country by the name of columbia exists.
Interesting point, it might be part of it, I think for most languages Iran remains Iran and Iraq is about 50/50 spelled Iraq or Irak. (With latin alphabet as script).
That is only for the veterans that take the countries of the world quiz and try to be as fast as they can. Most probably wont do that the first time they take the quiz and only the stats for the first time a quiz is taken are recorded.
Since this quiz is not about population but geography alone then Russia should be added to Asia, since the vast majority of Russian territory is in Asia
I think it may be at number 6. Russia is obvious because of its size and status as world power, and numbers 2-5 because of their tourism value. What surprises me though is that the two most popular European tourist destinations come last on this list. I'd have expected Italy to be much lower.
Not super surprising. Niger is at the end. People probably wanted to type in "Nigeria" and "Niger" came up first, then they typed in "Nigeria" again, which probably made it 6th on the list.
Are you Finland?
I guess that is correct...
that's...uh...good for you
I guess most people get niger when they type nigeria
I DID need em for asia.... I reallly couldnt think of what could be above japan... Other had no misses either, besides trying samoa on oceania (after having micronesia fiji and new guinea, but didnt think of new zealand and australia yet)
Colombia has always been Colombia.
@ala02 if they use colombia they are mistaken, because in american english it is still colombia, no country by the name of columbia exists.
