I just read my husband the quiz, he got 4, he considers himself a quiz master and loves a challenging quiz. The whole way through he kept saying “THESE ARE AWESOME QUESTIONS” and “OMG I DIDN’T KNOW THAT” and “MOTHER-EFFER THAT’S A GOOD ONE” so safe to say he’s pretty stoked with the quiz. Nice work Ronnie!

6. Is Hammy okay with sharing what the controversial answer is (which question) and why he is right?

It’s the Gibraltar one. And he won’t expand on it haha he’s just like - its clearly two lol.

I second this request!

The Gibraltar one surely? As it's a British Overseas Territory. The UK is England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. But tell you what, Ham has got me thinking...!

Hmmm, if overseas territories are included, then the UK's Antarctic Territory should also be counted

10/13. Wow Ham what a quiz! I got stumped on the number of island in Indonesia ( I guessed 555, not even close), the biggest Mountain (I said Everest which I knew was a trap but couldn't think of anything else) and the biggest country in the EU (I guessed Poland). I also only knew the answer to the Pyramid question because I'd heard you tell us this fact on your Mum's Instagram.

Such a cool quiz, thank you for sharing it with us. :).

That’s how I got the pyramid one too. And the tricky one at the end about Gibraltar

Great quiz, Ronnie. Interesting! I got 5, but only because I awarded myself correct for saying there are 'shitloads' of islands in Indonesia. Can I have that?

I’d give you that haha. Ham is quiet cruel with point scoring so we just won’t ask him haha

Pleased with 7 correct and cross with myself for saying Palau instead of Nauru. Thanks for the fun quiz Ronnie!

3. Do you and Hammy play Worldle? It's like wordle but for geography. I bet he would be really good at it. I am terrible at it but I like to play it because it is helping me to finally have at least a vague idea of where countries are.

Yep he loves it. Gets it in five seconds every time (except once when it was a French territory and this made him very angry haha)

Me too... I'm really smart but not at geography. Mad respect to Ham!

Three of us and we only got 6, and one has a first class degree from Oxford (in Chemistry granted, but still!) My partner and sister are now poured over their phones learning more about the things they didn’t know 😂 Thanks for the excellent quiz to entertain and challenge us Ronnie!! We’ve decided to get our son’s map book out tomorrow....!

I got 3.5 right 😹 (allocated myself a half because I got Togo and couldn’t think of Chad’s name also I have a brain injury) loved this quiz as I love countries but obviously not enough 😽

I got fuck all of these right thanks a lot Hammy. When I was about his age I used to like using baking paper to trace over maps of countries in the atlas. Do you think he would like that? My favourite was Iceland

I got the last question wrong (I mean I got most of them wrong) and I am from the UK.

Your child is too smart and you deserve all the wine.

We thought Ham might like this. I found it an easy way to engage my kid’s in flag interest.
