Can Europeans Answer Simple Geography Questions?

[@lingualizer]

Sorry for the Italy/Ivory Coast mistake! Also for the "capital on the northern coast of Africa" question, as it was poorly phrased. I wanted to refer to the countries being located there, not (necessarily) the capitals. Same goes for the oldest country in the world, I should have said Republic instead. Thanks for all of your feedback and the love you've shown this video, I really appreciate it and promise to be a better interviewer in the next videos!

I agree, these were not easy questions. Naming a few landlocked countries is already somewhat challenging, but South America only has two: Bolivia and Paraguay. This is not general knowledge. Also, I would not have answered the olympic flag question correct either. I know Antarctica is not represented because when the logo was designed, people barely even had a research base there, but as far as I knew, Oceania was basically one big European colony when the olympic flag was designed. All the inhabitants of Oceania were either French, Portuguese, British or US citizens. I would have guessed one ring for both of the Americas, not one ring for Oceania.

So yeah, subbed movies already accounted for much knowledge but playing games with an international public and cmmunicating on different channels in English and watching series and anime online makes it so that we get even more ways, chances and opportunities to get veyr proficient in it because the internet kinda 'forces' us so.

[@xenotypos]

1. Your questions are harder than usual, those aren't "simple" geography questions (though it depended, a few were considerably easy, I'm just saying overall). 2. the questions with "letters" require to have a very good level in english too, so those are bad questions for people with another native language. The other questions were good. You should really concentrate on questions that aren't about final letters, first letters, the number of letters...

[@Daniel-xg3ul]

Seemed fairly simple. I didn't know all of them, but I certainly knew the majority of them. I only have a US high school diploma. You just have to pay attention in class.

[@xenotypos]

@@Daniel-xg3ul Why do you assume I had any trouble with those questions ? I have extensive knowledge in that field. But I just stated that objectively, for someone not interested in geography those were not simple questions, especially compared with the questions asked to americans in that same channel, which are just easier. And you said yourself you only knew the majority, which actually supports my argument.

[@Daniel-xg3ul]

I didn't assume YOU had any difficulty with the questions. I simply meant in general, most of these are questions are ones that would have been covered if you graduated high school. I admit US citizens would do far worse, but that's more of an indictment of the US education system. Most (not all) of the questions SHOULD be fairly easy to answer, as I remember learning this in high school and I graduated over 20 years ago. A big part of this video is being asked on the spot, which would probably throw anybody off, myself included, but part of it is a general lack of knowledge. I think geography, and the social studies in a more broad extent, are important. We're a much more connected world now then when I was in high school or college aged, so it helps to know about the world around you. It's even worse when I see videos asking students from the US even more simple questions and they bomb it. Then again, all these types of videos are going to be edited to project what the content creators want you to see as to generate views and clicks, so is therefore not truly an accurate representation. Where are you from, by the way? How would students, or even adults stack up against those in the video or the video with Americans? Not asking to insinuate anything, just curious. Have a nice day!

[@Daniel-xg3ul]

Also, I definitely agree with you about the spelling/letters part. As a person who only speaks English, even some of the Anglicized spellings of foreign words can be difficult, so I'd imagine it would be even more difficult for a non native speaker.

[@mynewname7830]

@@Daniel-xg3ul The public education system in the US has degraded vastly over the last 20 years since you graduated. It's a reason why everyone comments "look at the similar vids of Americans and what questions they get (and still many times answer wrong). Depends on the country in Europe though.

techically the Irish flag has dimensions in 2:1 proportions, Ivory Coast in 3:2 and the colors are different, so no, if you rotate the Irish flag you have only a rotated Irish flag. (The same with Poland and Indonesia).

By the way, ‘Waar is het feestje, hier is het feestje’ which means ‘where’s the party?, here is the party!’ is not a Dutch song, but rather a celebration that you sing after you won sometihing (a tournament or a match in sport or smtn like that) only used by kids Edit: it’s also a song, but it’s not that famous

Fun fact: the coastline from Chile is about 6000 km... And I think it has the longest coastline compared to its area.

[@kokoshneta]

Pretty sure Norway has Chile beat by some margin. If memory serves, Chile is more than twice the size of Norway by area (~757,000 km2 vs ~324,000 km2), but all the fjords along the coastline of Norway give it a huge amount of coastline. Google doesn’t offer up any detailed information about Chile’s coastline (how high-resolution is that 6,500 km?), but depending on how precisely you measure Norway’s, it’s anywhere between 25,000 and 100,000+ km.
