Questions

How many countries are in this quiz?

17: the countries most maps of the Middle East show, from Egypt and Turkey to Iran. Palestine is asked as a place.

Why are some disputed places in the quiz?

The quiz asks where places are on the map, not whether every country recognises them. Palestine is on most classroom maps, so it is asked like any other place.

How is the score worked out?

Your score is the share of places you found on the first try. A place you find on the second or third try turns amber and does not count toward the score; after three misses it turns red and the quiz moves on.
