      REALLY!!! It seems to change exponentially, as well. If I had to write in the names of the countries on a globe of the world outlining ALL the present day countries, I would FAIL miserably. I know there's 7 continents but the countries and all the cities there in, are so vastly different from what we learned in the 60s... I'm grateful for the library of knowledge my brain contains; sadly though (sort of), I'm highly selective of what I add to it. Too much unnecessary clutter! Superfluous jibber don't you think

    Good quiz ... I scored 92/100 ... 4 wrong in each half.
    a few clarifications:
    question 59 - The Arabian Desert is actually larger than the Gobi Desert but is considered part of the Sahara, hence the Gobi is considered the largest desert in Asia.
    question 81 - Big Ben refers to the bell inside the tower, which is called The Elizabeth Tower

    • @johntatum1951
      @johntatum1951 Год назад +1

      The Question was for the largest in Asia...so Gobi is correct.

    • @jimmeade2976
      @jimmeade2976 Год назад

      @@johntatum1951 I agree that Gobi is the correct answer. I am just pointing out that some people say the Arabian Desert is the correct answer. Geography experts consider the Arabian Desert, which is in Asia, (mostly in Saudi Arabia) and larger than the Gobi, to be a part of the Sahara Desert, not a desert in its own right, and therefore Gobi is considered the largest. FYI, Gobi in Mongolian means desert, so to say Gobi Desert is redundant.

      ​​@@squirellmaster1 it began in 1930 when FDR and the gov began controlling things. The market had almost totally recovered before FDR stepped in.

      Exactly.. the crash was very late in 1929, October I believe. The depression began in the 30's in fact more toward the middle of it. Lotta people don't know the cause but it was because 90% margin buying was allowed with no other restrictions. Joe Kennedy made a fortune in the market he shorted everything. I was born in 42 and remember Dad really struggling to find decent work (he never served because he already had 2 kids).

      I remembered that the crash happened in 1929...so I just "assumed" that's when the depression started. Thanks for the clarification 😊.

    92-100 correct, to be fair a lot were from deduction, would be better or harder if they mixed as some had obvious 2 wrong answers. Big ben is the bell not the clock tower, another brick in the wall PTII, but this couldn`t possibly constitute towards IQ lol, enjoyable though.
