The United States... or the United Kingdom?

It helped me that it said "average" latitude...

Alaska's southernmost point, Amatignak Island is farther south than London. Alaska ranges from about 51.25°N to 71.38°N, whilst Scotland ranges from 54.63°N to 60.85°N, so about 31% of Alaska's latitudinal range overlaps with Scotland, and another 17% is farther south than Scotland. That said, most of Alaska's people live farther north than Scotland's - Juneau is similar to Inverness, but Anchorage is north of any point in Scotland, as is Fairbanks. The more southerly parts of Alaska are also a small part of the overall landmass, consisting of a thin coastal strip and associated islands, the Alaskan Peninsula, and the Aleutian Islands.

Whoever decided 'stones' was a good unit of measurement obviously never had to teach it. Teaching multiples of 14 is not easy or fun.

Nobody teaches stones however. In school we exclusively learn the metric system.

This is very interesting!

My grandmother kept her eggs on the counter but refrigerated them if they weren't used within a day or two. Hers hardly ever had chicken poo on them but when my cousin's did she knew they wouldn't keep well if washed, so she would let the poo dry and then sand it off with sandpaper! When my kids were home we ate all the eggs we collected each day so I didn't have to worry about where to keep them or if they needed washing..

True, but generally speaking it’s not usually Brits mocking Americans for this particular thing - we keep quiet because we know we are in no position to throw stones (no pun intended) when it comes to measuring systems.

But I’ve found on this site that American users assume anyone mocking the US must be British, and British users assume anyone mocking the UK must be American….

I've certainly enjoyed mocking Americans for their use of Imperial on several occasions, however it really doesn't compare to the stupid, incoherent jumble that we use on this side of the pond

England makes up almost all of the UK and on our side of the pond, 'British' and 'English' are basically interchangeable.

Nope, the US bills all use the same size and colors AND none of the coins clearly use numerals for their values. The lowest coin value says 'one cent' but we call it a penny and it has no 1 on it. The smallest coin is ten cents, but it says 'dime'. The largest coin is fifty cents, and it says 'half dollar', etc. The dollar coin is distinctive being golden colored since the Sacajawea coin was issued in 2000. US currency is very confusing.

Fair enough, but I stand by the fact that adding "both" questions makes the research phase of "x or y" quizmaking a lot easier. The quizmaker was making a bucketload of these quizzes at the time, and doesn't seem to bother getting involved in the comments, so... I'll disagree to agree to disagree in this case.

It's a fine quiz, filled the time again and I enjoyed it, so I'm not ungrateful.

Maybe he has personally murdered multiple people in the UK but none in the US.
