Wanna see how sad the general world knowledge of americans is?
only mexico even came close to our low score.
On the other hand, those Swedes are on top of their shit.

the geography was too easy, with the exception of Israel (and maybe Argentina), all you had to be able to do was guess the general location of the country - like Sweden only gives you one option in the right area, same with Japan, etc.... no fun.
i got population wrong, silly me.

also: you can't move to sweden unless you can find it.... they won't be having many americans visit any time soon *grin*

See, the thing that you have to remember is that people don't take these seriously. They put the wrong answers intentionally because they think it's funny. And because Americans are the only people in the world with a sense of humor (with the possible exception of 5 or 6 English), we are the ones who do that the most.

I mean, really, all those damned Australians put JEDI as their religion on a government document, and you expect THIS to be accurate?

Oh, I got 20/20. :-p
