I took the world challenge. It asked me a lot of questions about small African countries and I missed every one of those and got the ones about Europe and the Middle East right.

To my credit, I was very close on all of them - on the right continent, in the right region but off by a country boundary or so - the general vicinity but not the specific country, though I nearly always got one that bordered the country in question.

So I have general knowledge but not specific knowledge about some small countries.

How'd you do the second time? I got 80% but again got a few West African countries mixed up. I think that, along with some of the various little islands, would be my blind spot. I've much better at other parts of Africa.

Well now I know where Swaziland and Qatar are - I picked the nation next to Qatar but I had no idea where Swaziland was!

Oh I know Swaziland because it's completely surrounded by South Africa. Or nearly so (Lesotho is).

How do you expand the map to see the small countries like Liechtenstein?

If it hadn't been for China, India and the United States I wouldn't have done well at all.
