@RandomAmerican🇺🇸 It all depends how you present it. If he asked these questions to random people on the street, I'm sure he could find a lot of people who wouldn't know.

Not only are these definitly not "simple" Geography Questions, but the contestants had to answer them in english (not their first language). And you picked questions (especially the first ones) that get much, much harder in another language. I came up with like two capitals with 4 letters in german, and then I realized oh, no, in English it has more letters.

Also, I would not have answered the olympic flag question correct either. I know Antarctica is not represented because when the logo was designed, people barely even had a research base there, but as far as I knew, Oceania was basically one big European colony when the olympic flag was designed.

The "oldest country in the world" question is no good. It has many different answers based on how you define a country, and the answer changes depending on what source you are using.
Questions to Europeans : How many words in the oldest country's constitution. Then divide per ten and multiplie by PI. Questions to Americans : How many moons.
When you see videos like this filmed in an American city the questions are things like: - What language is spoken in Germany? - Is Canada to the north or south of the USA?
I always suspect that Americans are made to look dumber than they are, by selecting the worst answers. Perhaps I'm wrong, sometimes; there's a chance of getting "lucky" with several, um... "under performers" in a row. For that matter, I may be wrong, every time, but it would surprise me. I know several quite intelligent Americans.
Came here just for this... Kinda ruined it a bit if imma be honest :P Would have been way more interesting if people he asked werent almost entirely all from the Netherlands or living there etc.
and a lot of these people don't need to know geography in english language but their own, name of countries and city are different in different languages.
@@shockre1119 That's right. A lot of these "four letter capitals" don't have four letters in my native language. It's best to avoid those kind of questions in the future.
I would get right to these questions in french without any problems but in english, you gotta give me some time to think lol. I stop the video everytime and I try to answer as fast as possible in my head. I can't imagine with a camera looking at you.
Does the definition of "simple" vary in different continents? If you add to that that they all had to translate from their languages to English... at least in Italy we study geography in Italian and I was thinking... capitals with 4 letters... ok, let's translate everything into English... is Lima the same in English? Who knows... and it was.
Like the guy said on the question: "Which country starts with an A but does not end on an A" . My first thought was "Albanië", but then thought, it probably needs to be in english.
Rome is Roma in Italian (so still 4 letters), but e.g. Rom in German, or Řím in Czech, so only three letters.. Likewise, Bern in Switzerland would actually fit in its native German, but it is written as "Berne" in English..
Interesting note on the question of 5 capitals in Asia. The guy from Europe started answering capitals that were closer to Europe whereas I am from Australia and I automatically started naming capitals closer to Australia....Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur, Tokyo, Phnom Penh, Jakarta......
I'm from Poland, but the first ones for me are Tokyo, Phnom Pen and Beijing (Beijing), Seoul and "Phenian" (Phenian). It all depends on your interests.
@@edeco9135 Yes, if you have an interest in an area of the world, then that will for sure effect your answers. But if you don't have an interest then you will probably default your answers to what you mostly know....as in your own geographical location. Your theory is certainly correct for me as my interests are in Asia.
1. Your questions are harder than usual, those aren't "simple" geography questions (though it depended, a few were considerably easy, I'm just saying overall). 2. the questions with "letters" require to have a very good level in english too, so those are bad questions for people with another native language. The other questions were good. You should really concentrate on questions that aren't about final letters, first letters, the number of letters...
Seemed fairly simple. I didn't know all of them, but I certainly knew the majority of them. I only have a US high school diploma. You just have to pay attention in class.
@@Daniel-xg3ul Why do you assume I had any trouble with those questions ? I have extensive knowledge in that field. But I just stated that objectively, for someone not interested in geography those were not simple questions, especially compared with the questions asked to americans in that same channel, which are just easier. And you said yourself you only knew the majority, which actually supports my argument.
I didn't assume YOU had any difficulty with the questions. I simply meant in general, most of these are questions are ones that would have been covered if you graduated high school. I admit US citizens would do far worse, but that's more of an indictment of the US education system. Most (not all) of the questions SHOULD be fairly easy to answer, as I remember learning this in high school and I graduated over 20 years ago. A big part of this video is being asked on the spot, which would probably throw anybody off, myself included, but part of it is a general lack of knowledge. I think geography, and the social studies in a more broad extent, are important. We're a much more connected world now then when I was in high school or college aged, so it helps to know about the world around you. It's even worse when I see videos asking students from the US even more simple questions and they bomb it. Then again, all these types of videos are going to be edited to project what the content creators want you to see as to generate views and clicks, so is therefore not truly an accurate representation. Where are you from, by the way? How would students, or even adults stack up against those in the video or the video with Americans? Not asking to insinuate anything, just curious. Have a nice day!
Also, I definitely agree with you about the spelling/letters part. As a person who only speaks English, even some of the Anglicized spellings of foreign words can be difficult, so I'd imagine it would be even more difficult for a non native speaker.
@@Daniel-xg3ul The public education system in the US has degraded vastly over the last 20 years since you graduated. It's a reason why everyone comments "look at the similar vids of Americans and what questions they get (and still many times answer wrong). Depends on the country in Europe though. W and N Europe has very good public education, whilst as some countries more E-SE are not quite there yet. Though through more funding (also with a lot of help through the EU) they are getting there.
11:09 Bro this guy going to be the future President of the European comission the way he outplayed Peter almost won as well. His attitude is so perfect as well.
It's extremely impressive that they are asking the European's questions in English which is probably not their native language and almost all of them can speak it and answer the question. Imagine asking similar questions in America but expecting them to answer those questions in another language.
To be fair it was at an ERASMUS gathering, which is essentially a student exchange programe so you'd expect everyone to have a decent level of English. Would be curious to see the answers at a random European universities, would be fun :)
In their defence though, I myself have been playing Pokémon games as a kid (English text), many movies on TV were American with Dutch subtitles, as an early teenager I've also been playing Runescape and followed up by other MMORPGS where everyone uses English to communicate and later on I've been watching American series, anime with English dub a had 3 years English for 1 or 2h a week at school (didn't finish school, in that case I'd have 5 years of English). So yeah, subbed movies already accounted for much knowledge but playing games with an international public and cmmunicating on different channels in English and watching series and anime online makes it so that we get even more ways, chances and opportunities to get veyr proficient in it because the internet kinda 'forces' us so.
10:30 I find it fascinating that the guy is asked to name 5 capitals in Asia, and he names places like Baku and Yerevan, but then struggles because he can't think of places in East Asia like Tokyo, Beijing, Bangkok, which stereotypically pop into one's mind when someone says "Asia".
@@udraj914 really? Cause I'm European and when I think of Asia I think of East Asia almost exclusively. It wouldn't even cross my mind that Baku and Yerevan are technically in Asia.
I mean, he's from Moldova, the South West Asia (and central Asia) is actually a part of Asia that had historically most contact with Europe, either by wars or trade, and probably still has by trade. So they are known. I guess, if questioned, I'd say next to Baku (I doubt I would come with Yerevan on the spot, though) also Tbilisi, Ankara and then Ulaanbataar (or whatever its right spelling is), Kabul and then I'd recall there's New Delhi, Dhaka, Beijing, Tokio, Hanoi, Manila, Jakarta...
I recently saw a similar video clip where American college students were asked similar sorts of questions about the United States (not even about all the countries in the world). I was astounded at how poorly educated those American students seemed to be.
It's considered an Asian country though. It's like saying that Turkey is a European country when the vast majority of Europeans would disagree with that statement. Or like saying that France is a South American, African or Oceanic country. And although France does have land in all these continents, France is still a European country and not considered as a country from the other continents.
@@captainvanisher988 That France example you have provided isn't the same, because all the land France owns outside of Europe isn't it's actual land, just overseas territories. As for the Turkey one, I'd agree.
@@captainvanisher988 Well fact is that it is both, no matter what people usually consider it as. Just like Russia is both an Asian and European country
I was able to answer more than 80% and another 10-15% partially. Some were tricky questions but you can see how us Europeans are much more aware of global geography. The questions you find in the US videos would rip you off since everyone knows them here haha
I'm American and I was able to answer around 90% correct and around 5% partially. It depends on the education you get and the teachers you have. It's not the whole country. I'm only 17.
-What are you? -American - What year are we in? -Where are you from? -Europe -What country starts with Y and ends in Q who’s flag flipped upside down looks like the flag of a country who’s constitution was recently rectified?
Another solution for the question with the countries ending with the same four letters are countries which ending with -land. Like Switzerland, Poland, Ireland, Iceland, etc.
You could also have -ania (Albania, Romania, Tanzania, etc); -ands (Netherlands, Solomon Islands, and Marshall Islands); and -blic (Central African Republic, Dominican Republic, and Czech Republic).
No, Mr. Grab in Italian I.E. Polonia, Islanda, Irlanda, Svizzera, we don't call those countries in the same way as you do. The solution is how can you quickly think in English? Some are quicker some are slower. Ask the same questions in their native languages to be fair.🤷♀️
Any language that isn't English is irrelevant in international setting. Therefore if you want to know all the countries of the planet only in your own native language feel free to do so, but don't expect to be eligible to use that excuse. I know all the countries and their capitals in English. I couldn't name more than 50 in my native. Why would I learn it in irrelevant language? That's the same as people learning latin. Why? Nobody cares about it because nobody speaks that language. Learn Spain, Portugese, Mandarin Chinese or Russian instead. @@biancaenera2500

That driest continent question is such a scam. When people think "dry," they think how likely they are to find water to drink .. and you can absolutely drink ice, it just takes a bit of work.
And as a French man, I would never have answered with Antarctic, because in France, when I was young (I'm 59...) we counted only five continents : Europe, Asia, Africa, Oceania (not Australia, which leaves New Zealand and many other countries out) and America (North and South together), that is to say only places which are inhabited with human beings. However, I know children here now learn, since about 2000, 6 continents, with Antarctic. But still one America together.
A scam? Antarctica hardly gets any precipitation per year, that's why it's considered the driest continent, and if people had paid attention in school, they should know this. :p
@@Neophema If you had paid attention to my post, you would already know that I dispute that definition of dry. Let me put it this way. Who is richer? Someone who earns 50K a year and has no assets, or someone who earns nothing but has a billion dollars in an account? You don't need rain if you're covered in water.
Cool video! But sometimes you check the level of English more than geography. For example, the article "The" and how many letters are in the name, etc.
Lots of new things about geography I can gather in this simple, funny, comedic way :) For example about the many capitals of RPA (South African Republic).
I know it has 3, but I can name only Pretoria and Cape Town. There is also another country in Africa called Eswatini that has 2 . Mbabane and I don't know the other :) @@TallisKeeton
You confused the Arctic with the Antarctic. The Arctic is not a continent. It is floating ice. The Antarctic is a continent covered in ice. Big difference.
techically the Irish flag has dimensions in 2:1 proportions, Ivory Coast in 3:2 and the colors are different, so no, if you rotate the Irish flag you have only a rotated Irish flag. (The same with Poland and Indonesia).
9:15 She was right! Indonesia is a transcontinental country, mainly in Asia but also reaching into Australia (or Oceania, as some people call it) through the province of Papua.
Don't bash americans. They are not dumb. It's the system keeping them down in ignorance when a university spends a third of Calculus classes teaching diversity and inclusivity or deems the word "grandfather" as offensive. Yeah, that happens in American universities.
21 if you count USA (it's official language in New Mexico and Puerto Rico) or Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic (Western Sahara). 22 if you count them both.

Lots of Dutch people over there! By the way, ‘Waar is het feestje, hier is het feestje’ which means ‘where’s the party?, here is the party!’ is not a Dutch song, but rather a celebration that you sing after you won sometihing (a tournament or a match in sport or smtn like that) only used by kids Edit: it’s also a song, but it’s not that famous
@United Naitons it’s not. I can confirm it cause I’m Dutch. It’s a celebration not a song. ‘Waar is het feestje, hier is het feestje’ is also the only text, repeated a few times
@@TheLifeLaVita what do you mean me being Dutch doesn’t confirm anything? It confirms everything. You think a random stranger like yourself knows it better than me, a Dutch guy who used it myself when I was young? If you really think so I can’t say anything else but to check on your stubbornness. Furthermore it isn’t even that popular. Only some people under the age of 30 knows it and it’s a stupid celebration. theres also a song called it but it only has 300K views so it’s not famous at all
I hate that city. Go to all corners of UK and every single person will pronounce it differently. Bloody hell innit. It's quite possibly the worst city on planet to pronounce.
Not to be nitpicky but Cairo's not really on the coast... also some of these questions like how many countries speak Spanish aren't really that simple. Not many people remember numbers like that..

Antarctica isn't the dryest place in the world, because the water is frozen. That's just rubbish! It's the dryest country, because it hardky rains or snow there! It's almost entirely concidered a desert.
Pretty sure Norway has Chile beat by some margin. If memory serves, Chile is more than twice the size of Norway by area (~757,000 km2 vs ~324,000 km2), but all the fjords along the coastline of Norway give it a huge amount of coastline. Google doesn’t offer up any detailed information about Chile’s coastline (how high-resolution is that 6,500 km?), but depending on how precisely you measure Norway’s, it’s anywhere between 25,000 and 100,000+ km.
I love how the level of these questions is so much higher than that of the questions you ask people from the US. I finally felt challenged! On another note, the United Kingdom is not 'a' country. It's 3 countries plus a section of a 4th country.
No, it is four countries, one of which happens to be part of another island. There are plenty of islands in the world with more than one country on them (such as Hispaniola or New Guinea).
@@craftsmanwoodturner is correct, it is 4 countries o know of which happens to be on an island with another country. But the UK is also one country; unfortunately the word “country” is not well-defined, and can be used synonymously with nation state..
Actually, 20 countries around the world speak Spanish. The extra country isn't really a country, but a possession of the US: Puerto Rico. So the real answer is 20.
21 if you count Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic (Western Sahara). Anyway Spanish is official language in Puerto Rico and New Mexico, so it's official language in the US. 22.
I don't know if the US have an official language (yeah, they speak mostly english I know, by I'm speaking by law - as "“The Founding Fathers didn't see a need to declare one") but supposing so English would be the first one as it is the dominant (by logic) and the territories of Puerto Rico, California, New Mexico and Arizona use Spanish as second "official" (there is no official language in the US) language in official documents, like those of courts, legislation, and even voting ballots (the last at least in Arizona). Many countries have more official languages recognized beyond the dominant one (Belgium, Portugal, Spain, Canada, Mozambique, Switzerland, China.... and the list goes on) and so the States can by the stated seen as another country with such practice (although, again, the US does not have any official language, not even english).

@@shockre1119 That's right. A lot of these "four letter capitals" don't have four letters in my native language. It's best to avoid those kind of questions in the future.
I would get right to these questions in french without any problems but in english, you gotta give me some time to think lol. I stop the video everytime and I try to answer as fast as possible in my head. I can't imagine with a camera looking at you.
@@Unpseudopascommelesautresde même
i mean most of this questions is things we have learn in school
Does the definition of "simple" vary in different continents? If you add to that that they all had to translate from their languages to English... at least in Italy we study geography in Italian and I was thinking... capitals with 4 letters... ok, let's translate everything into English... is Lima the same in English? Who knows... and it was.
Like the guy said on the question: "Which country starts with an A but does not end on an A" .
My first thought was "Albanië", but then thought, it probably needs to be in english.
Yeah same for me, my first thought was Wien, but Vienna has more letters. Then Prag, but again Prague is too long.
I thought Bonn and then realised that does not exist anymore.
Edit: it does exist, but not as a capital
Rome is Roma in Italian (so still 4 letters), but e.g. Rom in German, or Řím in Czech, so only three letters..
Likewise, Bern in Switzerland would actually fit in its native German, but it is written as "Berne" in English..
Kyiv/Київ - 4 letters
Hahahahhahaha. Moldovan guy killed it. XD 😅 I can totally see myself failing in many of these under pressure.
Interesting note on the question of 5 capitals in Asia.
The guy from Europe started answering capitals that were closer to Europe whereas I am from Australia and I automatically started naming capitals closer to Australia....Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur, Tokyo, Phnom Penh, Jakarta......
I'm from Poland, but the first ones for me are Tokyo, Phnom Pen and Beijing (Beijing), Seoul and "Phenian" (Phenian). It all depends on your interests.
@@edeco9135 Yes, if you have an interest in an area of the world, then that will for sure effect your answers.
But if you don't have an interest then you will probably default your answers to what you mostly know....as in your own geographical location.
Your theory is certainly correct for me as my interests are in Asia.
Im spanish I was thinking in Pyongyang, Seoul, Peking, Bankok and Ulan Bator
Belgium, French, Spanish, Portuguese... would probably answer at first by Tokyo, Seoul, Pyongyang, Hanoi or Jakarta
@@gordonchild273 and what about Beijing and New Delhi?? for me would be the most "popular" together with Tokyo

1. Your questions are harder than usual, those aren't "simple" geography questions (though it depended, a few were considerably easy, I'm just saying overall).
2. the questions with "letters" require to have a very good level in english too, so those are bad questions for people with another native language. The other questions were good.
You should really concentrate on questions that aren't about final letters, first letters, the number of letters...
Seemed fairly simple. I didn't know all of them, but I certainly knew the majority of them. I only have a US high school diploma. You just have to pay attention in class.
@@Daniel-xg3ul Why do you assume I had any trouble with those questions ? I have extensive knowledge in that field. But I just stated that objectively, for someone not interested in geography those were not simple questions, especially compared with the questions asked to americans in that same channel, which are just easier.
And you said yourself you only knew the majority, which actually supports my argument.
I didn't assume YOU had any difficulty with the questions. I simply meant in general, most of these are questions are ones that would have been covered if you graduated high school. I admit US citizens would do far worse, but that's more of an indictment of the US education system. Most (not all) of the questions SHOULD be fairly easy to answer, as I remember learning this in high school and I graduated over 20 years ago. A big part of this video is being asked on the spot, which would probably throw anybody off, myself included, but part of it is a general lack of knowledge. I think geography, and the social studies in a more broad extent, are important. We're a much more connected world now then when I was in high school or college aged, so it helps to know about the world around you. It's even worse when I see videos asking students from the US even more simple questions and they bomb it. Then again, all these types of videos are going to be edited to project what the content creators want you to see as to generate views and clicks, so is therefore not truly an accurate representation. Where are you from, by the way? How would students, or even adults stack up against those in the video or the video with Americans? Not asking to insinuate anything, just curious. Have a nice day!
Also, I definitely agree with you about the spelling/letters part. As a person who only speaks English, even some of the Anglicized spellings of foreign words can be difficult, so I'd imagine it would be even more difficult for a non native speaker.
@@Daniel-xg3ul The public education system in the US has degraded vastly over the last 20 years since you graduated. It's a reason why everyone comments "look at the similar vids of Americans and what questions they get (and still many times answer wrong).
Depends on the country in Europe though. W and N Europe has very good public education, whilst as some countries more E-SE are not quite there yet. Though through more funding (also with a lot of help through the EU) they are getting there.
Some of these questions only made sense in English, e.g. are way harder for non-native English speakers (like most of the people in the video :P )
Yes, not one in the video was an english speaking native.

It's extremely impressive that they are asking the European's questions in English which is probably not their native language and almost all of them can speak it and answer the question.
Imagine asking similar questions in America but expecting them to answer those questions in another language.

To be fair it was at an ERASMUS gathering, which is essentially a student exchange programe so you'd expect everyone to have a decent level of English. Would be curious to see the answers at a random European universities, would be fun :)
@@abraxadabra4224yaddaaaaaaaaa
@@abraxadabra4224 ok what about questions ? they are x30 times harder :D
In their defence though, I myself have been playing Pokémon games as a kid (English text), many movies on TV were American with Dutch subtitles, as an early teenager I've also been playing Runescape and followed up by other MMORPGS where everyone uses English to communicate and later on I've been watching American series, anime with English dub a had 3 years English for 1 or 2h a week at school (didn't finish school, in that case I'd have 5 years of English).
So yeah, subbed movies already accounted for much knowledge but playing games with an international public and cmmunicating on different channels in English and watching series and anime online makes it so that we get even more ways, chances and opportunities to get veyr proficient in it because the internet kinda 'forces' us so.

thats what Americans think of when they hear Asia, UK and Europe mostly think of South Asia when they hear Asia
@@udraj914 really? Cause I'm European and when I think of Asia I think of East Asia almost exclusively. It wouldn't even cross my mind that Baku and Yerevan are technically in Asia.

I mean, he's from Moldova, the South West Asia (and central Asia) is actually a part of Asia that had historically most contact with Europe, either by wars or trade, and probably still has by trade. So they are known. I guess, if questioned, I'd say next to Baku (I doubt I would come with Yerevan on the spot, though) also Tbilisi, Ankara and then Ulaanbataar (or whatever its right spelling is), Kabul and then I'd recall there's New Delhi, Dhaka, Beijing, Tokio, Hanoi, Manila, Jakarta...

9:16 she was actually right. Indonesia owns about half of the island of New Guinea which is in Oceania thus making it a transcontinental country

I was able to answer more than 80% and another 10-15% partially. Some were tricky questions but you can see how us Europeans are much more aware of global geography. The questions you find in the US videos would rip you off since everyone knows them here haha

Ask the same questions in their native languages to be fair.🤷♀️
Any language that isn't English is irrelevant in international setting. Therefore if you want to know all the countries of the planet only in your own native language feel free to do so, but don't expect to be eligible to use that excuse. I know all the countries and their capitals in English. I couldn't name more than 50 in my native. Why would I learn it in irrelevant language? That's the same as people learning latin. Why?

@@Endriu21yep.
The Arctic isn't a continent.
OTOH, the Antarctic is.
And as a French man, I would never have answered with Antarctic, because in France, when I was young (I'm 59...) we counted only five continents : Europe, Asia, Africa, Oceania (not Australia, which leaves New Zealand and many other countries out) and America (North and South together), that is to say only places which are inhabited with human beings. However, I know children here now learn, since about 2000, 6 continents, with Antarctic. But still one America together.
A scam? Antarctica hardly gets any precipitation per year, that's why it's considered the driest continent, and if people had paid attention in school, they should know this. :p

Google doesn’t offer up any detailed information about Chile’s coastline (how high-resolution is that 6,500 km?), but depending on how precisely you measure Norway’s, it’s anywhere between 25,000 and 100,000+ km.

Actually, 20 countries around the world speak Spanish. The extra country isn't really a country, but a possession of the US: Puerto Rico. So the real answer is 20.
21 if you count Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic (Western Sahara). Anyway Spanish is official language in Puerto Rico and New Mexico, so it's official language in the US. 22.
0:08 Wikipedia lists 20, and any list that has 21 includes Puerto Rico, which is not a country.
I don't know if the US have an official language (yeah, they speak mostly english I know, by I'm speaking by law - as "“The Founding Fathers didn't see a need to declare one") but supposing so English would be the first one as it is the dominant (by logic) and the territories of Puerto Rico, California, New Mexico and Arizona use Spanish as second "official" (there is no official language in the US) language in official documents, like those of courts, legislation, and even voting ballots (the last at least in Arizona). Many countries have more official languages recognized beyond the dominant one (Belgium, Portugal, Spain, Canada, Mozambique, Switzerland, China.... and the list goes on) and so the States can by the stated seen as another country with such practice (although, again, the US does not have any official language, not even english).
