"The Taliban and al Qaeda movements were both based in Afghanistan"

Not strictly correct. Al Qaeda was based in other places before and after, etc.

"City G is the westernmost city on this map"

The gap between Mexico and the other countries is huge. I (non-sarcastically) wonder why?

"Japan is shown by the number 17"

Mexico and the UK beat the U.S. on that one.

Only about half those in the UK and Japan could locate MX.

The U.S. failed to find Italy, other countries didn't do so bad.

Only the Swedes and the Germand know where Sweden is.

While the U.S. is generally near the bottom, and is only saved from being in last place by Mexico, the other countries don't seem to be populated by too many brain surgeons either.

Yeah .... Only the Swedes and Germans knew that. 8<)

But did you notice how many Swedes knew where Russia was?

Too easy on several questions:

Where is Japan? But they DIDN'T put a number on Taiwan NOR the Phillipines NOR Korea. (ONLY Australia (OZ) was marked in the Far East!) That makes it easy to guess....

Where is Afganistan? But didn't put a number choice for Pakistan nor Iran in the list.

Where is Sweden? But didn't have a number choice for either Finland nor Norway in the list.
