Subject: Today's Destination of Congo

Posted by: AlexxSchneider
Date: Apr 26 10

I was a bit confused today as it said the destination was "Congo", which I took to be the Republic of the Congo, as Congo is an accepted alternative, but the quiz is actually on the Democratic Republic of the Congo, which is a different country altogether!

Perhaps it was just a space issue. The intro made things very clear IMO :)

It is confusing. We visited the Republic of Congo some time ago.

The issue is with the Bus Ride identification, not the quiz itself. As the author wrote quizzes on both Congos at nearly the same time, they were given similar catchy titles (nence the 'Part Deux'). As is the case with a lot of countries, if you use the full name you don't have any more room left in the title. The introduction stated quite clearly which one was at the bus stop, so I had no trouble working out which link to take from the disambiguation page. Perhaps it would also help if the Wikipedia link went straight to the correct county!

Thank you for clearing up the name of the country. I did not look at the intro to the quiz, and went to the Wikipedia page that was given.doh Then I came here; the next time I will come here directly. I'm still loving the bus ride and I've learned so much. Kudos Terry!

Yeah, I'm not sure why they both say "Congo". On the original geography challenge, the countries were listed separately, and they should be on the Bus Ride too, methinks. But the intro to the quizzes and every question on the quizzes lists the correct country, so I don't think there should be confusion when you take the quiz.
