it is relatively small but how about Washington state's Olympic peninsula

Nah, they already have Florida. Putting another American peninsula would make it too US-centric.

Good suggestion, but it is kind of small, which would make it hard to see on the map.

Mexico's are more known worldwide given that they're bigger. The Olympic peninsula, partially since it's smaller, is much less known.

That's because it deserves it. Both are very prominent peninsulas that are well-known worldwide. The Olympic Peninsula is just a small piece of land that barely even counts as a peninsula as it's just across the Puget Sound.

Kintyre is way too small to show up on a map of this scale. You could possibly include it if you did a Europe version, but even then it'd be pretty hard to see.

Jan 10, 2017
When you create a quiz, select the "more options" button. Using the "Upload Map" button, you can upload an SVG vector map onto your quiz. You will need to either download or create your own map to do this though. I use Notepad++ and Inkscape to edit my maps, but I've heard NauturalEarth is another good program. Maps by the Quizmaster can be found here. The Quizmaster has also written a couple blog entries about adding maps to quizzes, so I recommend you check them out. Hope this helps!

South Asia and India are not the same thing. The borders for the Indian Subcontinent do included parts of Pakistan, Balngaldesh, Nepal and other countries. However, "Indian" is accepted as a shorthand for Indian Subcontinent

A series could be made with each continent, hemisphere, or other subdivision of the world. That would allow you focus in on some smaller peninsulas.

Your example is akin to accepting "York" for New York City.

But in this case "cape" and "peninsula" are semantically redundant. It would be like having to type out "Isle of Man" on a quiz where you didn't have to type out "island" for the other 19 answers.

Could York just be accepted for Cape York? And yes, technically Cape York is the very end of the larger peninsula.

Jerry928

Exactly how are "cape" and "peninsula" semantically redundant? Without them you're just left with "York" which is a town in England. (By the way, isn't the word "semantically" itself redundant here? :))

The borders are of the Indian Subcontinent, which is much larger. Not all of these peninsulas follow strict geographic rules, such as the Sinai Peninsula which borders both the Mediterranean and Red Seas.

If you want to pick nits about the technical definition, the Horn of Africa seems a more apt starting place, but there's never going to be a bright-line distinction about which bits of land should make the cut and which should not.

In my book, the isthmus has to be narrower than the land masses at each end to qualify the whole thing as a peninsula. Calling India and the Horn of Africa peninsulas is ridiculous.

Any chance of accepting 'subcontinent' for 'indian subcontinent'? I admit it feels a bit general but it's the only region I can think of that is commonly referred to as 'the subcontinent'.I'm almost certain most on here would understand it as such. It's definitely the word I tried for it 3 times thinking I'd misspelled.
