My parents went on a farm tour of the USSR and visited Tashkent in the 1970s. It was a memorable trip for them, and yet I missed the one agricultural question on the quiz.

Well, you weren't on that trip, so I guess it wasn't memorable for you. Don't beat yourself up for not remembering something you didn't experience.

Karimov, Bukhara, Registan, Fergana valley - all too difficult for this quiz?

I thought to myself - how much do I actually know about Uzbekistan? Probably not much. Turns out 13/15 which is way better than I would have expected!

I find it funny that I know much more about Uzbekistan than Poland. Got all correct on this one but only about half on the Poland one (prob the hardest country quiz I took so far). Granted, I think the clues on this quiz are less specific than the Poland one. For the record though WT2008, 13/15 is a pretty good score for a country many people don't even know exists.

I'm pretty sure these questions were way more basic than the Polish ones. It was'nt that much abouth Uzbek culture

I think many people have heard of them but have only a vague idea of where they belong to geographically.

Definitely the case for me. Knew the names and their general relevance, but didn't know they were related to Uzbekistan.

I misspelled Samarkand by typing Samarkhand. Shame me!

No mention of plov anywhere on this quiz.

Most of these quizzes accept English alternatives. So why not Tamerlane?

Timur the Lame. But it would make sense to accept Tamerlane, too.

Ohhhhh Timur is Tamerlane! Thank you! I was wondering why I'd never heard of him. Turns out I had, heh.

(Not that I would have gotten it anyway, but at least now I can place the answer.)

You could add something about its historical significance to make the clue for the 2nd city easier, probably. Maybe point out that it's one of the oldest continually-inhabited cities in Central Asia and the world, or put it after the Silk Road question and allude to the fact that it was an important waypoint on the above.

Or the capital of Timur's empire.

Should "Ural Sea" be an acceptable spelling? I remember growing up learning about the Ural Sea, I think?

Possibly a misunderstanding - Aral refer(red) to the islands the sea used to have, not to the Urals. You could be right though. So sad to use the past tense referring to the Aral Sea, I know change happens but it feels like a loss for some reason.

At one point, I typed in Andromeda galaxy, wondering if that's where camels came from, but it turns out that's the one-humped kind.

Suggestion: remove the lame "Central Asia" question and add (if it isn't too difficult) "Mathematical procedure named after Muhammad al-Khwarizmi". Answer: Algorithm. Al-Khwarizmi was an important mathematician of the Islamic golden age, probably born in Uzbekistan.
