That doesn’t make sense. Kenya is equatorial, which would have the effect of making it seem relatively smaller than Texas, not larger.

But because we know this, we adjust our conception of the sizes of equatorial countries, overcompensating, and causing us to think of them as inherently larger.

I don't know if this has been commented already and if it's even technically possible, but it would be so interesting for this type of quiz to see the stats for the most common wrong answers.

Kenya did me in.

I've long thought this too, and looks like it now shows after you lose the quiz.

Looks like me and 36% got done by France

That's the most surprising inclusion to me, so I think it makes sense to be less guessed (it's now second from the bottom).

I thought "Texas is bigger than France", often used after France refused to go to Iraq, would be more famous. Instead it's by far the most wrong answer.

Texas is 695,000 km2. France is around 670,000 km2 with overseas regions. The only way France would beat Texas is counting territories that Jetpunk doesn't count like Terre Adélie in Antarctica
