It's research for Ghent uni, It gives you two countries/continents (named) drawn equally sized and you have to scale them appropriately. Easy and quick.

I'm rubbish, and have no concept of how such things relate to each other.

Interesting.

Most of the ones I did badly on involved islands. I actually got 10/10 for a couple of the questions. But still finished up with 53%.

I seem to have scored a 69. A good site to help you learn relative sizes is thetruesize.com

Thanks, reading_fox. What a well-presented questionnaire that was. I scored an abysmal 61% partly because I hadn't known that Sweden was preparing a welcome for their new Japanese overlords and that Colombians are kept awake nights by anxious thoughts about Canada being so very much bigger than their own country.

78%, but only one 10/10--UK/North Korea. Worst was Japan/Germany, 4/10 (what the...)
