I did not know that Japan had such a big debt!

They've spent it better though

But did they, really? Subsidizing giant corporation and social support for elderly. Neither is an outright waste or fraud, but neither drives competitiveness on a world market or economic growth.

I'm intrigued by the ranking for poorest country - I thought Moldova was one of the poorest, if not the poorest in Europe. Would you have a reference for the source of this data?

+61

Level 76

Moldova is not in the EU and therefore is not included

I stand corrected. Overlooked the "EU" reference. Thanks.

Level 73

May 5, 2020

Perhaps because in many comments I have seen on this site ( and apparently many people's minds) EU is used synonymous with Europe, incorrectly obviously. Such errors made by others might seep into your sub-conscience, and makes you slip up under pressure

I missed the EU part too, and spent an eternity wildly guessing, before I finally re-read the question!

Level 74

The EU would love to be thought of as a synonym of Europe!

Technically the United States is the easternmost NATO member because the Aleutian Islands in Alaska extend into the Eastern Hemisphere. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semisopochnoi_Island)

Common sense would say otherwise

It'd be a cool thing to include though. It's not as though anybody is going to bother trying it unless they're aware of that fact.

There you see, once again common sense is wrong.

Changes are pending to have the U.S. added

True, but maybe you could add a cleverly-worded qualifier comment to sidestep this inconvenient truth.

Man .. again... somehow I felt the answers had to be european countries (which actually works out fine for most, besides the figs and debt, and somehow with flag stripes I momentarily did NOT think it needed to be European, but after that I did again.. But it did cost more time than if I had realised there were more possible answers and didnt specifically needed to be a European country... )

I guess I ll never learn haha.

Edit btw figs and debt were the only two I didnt manage to get..(otherwise I would ve gotten figs, but not debt, didn't know that)

It is never asking just for European countries unless the question specifically says so

+15

Level 73

May 5, 2020

I know, I never said it did.

Level 78

Yet the European reference appears so often that you do get the impression the quiz is called "European countries that beat Greece". Why not just change it to that and take out the global questions? You'd still have a decent quiz.

I also had trouble shifting gears from Europe only to Worldwide, which of course is not the quiz-maker's fault and wholly my own attention span problem.

I did the same thing at first, then remembered I'd just done it on another of these quizzes this week and caught myself in time to finish the quiz.

That highest national debt to GDP ratio question is very very tricky. It looks like I’m not the only one who struggled with it.

Level 73

Four years later and it still stumped me, and surprised me.

Level 63

Sep 27, 2024

Somehow I got that one fairly easily. The greatest population loss by % was far harder for me, even with 9 choices.

Level 60

Jun 23, 2020

Randomly typed in Japan and got the debt one. I guess I should count myself lucky :)

Level 75

Jun 23, 2020

I typed in Japan for the GDP one, it disappeared from the answer line as it does when one answers correctly, but the answer box for that clue was still blank so I kept trying other answers and after time was up it showed I had missed it, but the answer was Japan. No idea how I managed that, but it's what happened. I must have hit some weird combination of keys on my new laptop that deleted the answer without realizing it. The keyboard is really sensitive. Still, frustrating that I typed the correct answer but didn't get it.

What about France for the first one. French Guinea. I'm pretty sure is further south than Greece.

Level 33

Feb 25, 2021

It says southernmost point of mainland Europe, not southernmost point of any European country.

Level 84

Aug 28, 2024

There is no such place as French Guinea.
