34/40, thanks a really good quiz. Geography is a great subject where you learn such interesting facts about the world, please do another some time 👍

[patviravouth]

30 out of 40. Great quiz and I liked how there was a good mix of easy and hard questions.

An awesome video . I hope you can publish more videos of this type

The number of continents depends on your definition of a continent and where you were educated. Most South Americans regard North and South America as one continent. Russians are taught that Europe and Asia are one continent. Jay Foreman's video discusses this in depth. Also, isn't it the "Southern Ocean" rather than the "Antarctic Ocean"?

Correction: The Vatican City DOES have a capital, it's capital is Vatican City. It may sound confusing but since Vatican City is a country countaining only 1 city, they had to put the government inside that city. So far Switzerland and Nauru are the only countries without an official capital

[pandorazbox]

Did not do well, learned a lot

[kaypee]

When I visited Bad water basin in Death Valley it was 282 ft ( 86 meters), below Sea level... had it changed.. I live in California...

Q.14 is way off. The Mariana trench is 7 miles deep not 124. Great quiz all the same, keep them coming.

[thunderbirdha]

Thank you for a great quiz! I got 34/40, but I might have got 2 more if they were asked in my native language because some terminology can be a bit tricky for a non native english speaker! 😃

[courtbarker]

When did the Antarctic ocean become one of the main oceans ??

[annasmith]

You could move them a bit slower it’s hard to finish de reading of them

[andrewmcneil]

Great quiz. I really enjoyed it. 90%correct.

[EASTERN]

Europe is a part of Asia. No ocean separates it from that Continent. Or, if you want to think of the world as it is, think of the flag of the Olympics. The Olympics are a representation of the world's countries. Five rings intertwined represent the 5 continents that people live on. (Antarctica doesn't have humans there :)). Just looking at the world says 6 continents. It's too simple to look at the geographical world and say there are more than 6 continents. Honest.

[tomdrake]

Never heard of the Antarctic ocean. I have heard of the Southern ocean
