292nd taker of the quiz :) (it shows, because the average s at 10 and would expect it to drop. Only got 4 but definitely couldve gotten 5 more. I was thinking ghent but I only know the spelling gent, it didnt occur to me that that wasnt the english spelling. Plus Genoa, I just typed that in a previous quiz less than a minute ago.

I wont say the others in case there are those sneaksy cheaters around, searching for answers in the comments..

Well I could do it like this: I got, 1,11,13,15,

And could ve gotten 8,14,17,18 and completely didnt read 19 which was a rather easy one too.

17/22. Can't believe I missed Ghent. That used to be my main go-to nonsense word that I would type to occupy my mind whenever I was stuck on writing a paper or something like that.

This is not extremely difficult. The average score is 10/22 and there are only six questions guessed by less than a third of takers.

I myself found the quiz straightforward, I only missed Johor. So clearly false advertising to me, can't say I'm not disappointed.

Loved this! When around half the answers are below 50% (and you're dealing with JetPunk geo-nerds) I'd say your description seems fit. That said, I only got 13 right from the first go of things. Still very much enjoyed the mix.

It's better than a lot of quizzes on this site in that it at least has a few original clues and answers that haven't been used a dozen times already. 5 stars.

Only got 9...kept typing Salem! Why won't it take Salem???duh.

The easiest for me were evidently not for others - Ghent. Mosul, Tikal (Copan would be another good choice for a quiz like this.)

When it said "difficult", I expected to get only half or less. In the end, I missed only the Canadian mountain and where Martin Luther King marched. Not the basic knowledge on this side of the Atlantic...
