Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Three of these cities have one of the seven wonders of the modern world. Which one is the odd one out?

Answer: Houston, TX

Toronto, New York, and San Francisco have the CN Tower, the Empire State Building, and the Golden Gate Bridge respectively, all wonders of the modern world. Although Houston has the Astrodome, it's not quite a "wonder".

2. Three of these countries border an ocean. Which one is the odd one out?

Answer: Mongolia

Argentina and Brazil border the Atlantic Ocean. China borders the Pacific Ocean. Mongolia is one of 11 countries in Asia that are landlocked.

3. Three of these countries are archipelagos, or a big group of islands. Which one is the odd one out?

Answer: Finland

Archipelagos are simply bunches of islands with no land borders. Finland shares borders with Sweden (west) and Russia (east), disqualifying this country from being an archipelago.

4. Three of these countries are near deserts. Which one is the odd one out?

Answer: Canada

Mongolia, Libya, and Argentina are near the Gobi, Sahara, and Atacama deserts respectively. Canada is known more for its forests rather than deserts.

5. Three of these countries are in the Southern Hemisphere. Which one is the odd one out?

Answer: Venezuela

Venezuela is the only country north of the Equator, placing it in the Northern Hemisphere.

6. Three of these countries are located in the continent of Africa. Which one is the odd one out?

Answer: Turkey

Turkey is not only not in Africa, but it is also said to be in two continents at once: Europe and Asia.

7. Three of these U.S. states are south of the Mason Dixon line. Which one is the odd one out?

Answer: Pennsylvania

The Mason Dixon line lies between the southern border of Pennsylvania and the northern border of Maryland. It symbolically separates the American north from the American south.

8. These Canadian provinces I wrote down are supposed to be landlocked. Which one is the odd one out?

Answer: British Columbia

Alberta and Saskatchewan don't border an ocean. British Columbia shares a western border with the Pacific Ocean.

9. Three of these countries border the country of South Sudan. Which one is the odd one out?

Answer: Cameroon

South Sudan also shares borders with the Central African Republic. However, Cameroon is too far west from South Sudan.

10. I might have something right for once: These countries are all single islands. I have Jamaica, Sri Lanka, Republic of Singapore, and Madagascar. Am I right?

Answer: Yes

All of these countries are concentrated on one main island (regardless of size), unlike archipelagos.
