GEOGRAPHY QUIZ NO. 33

[redandblack]

PLENTY LEFT HERE TO ANSWER. HEY R and B

In that case, I'll have a last crack at a few, but there's some wild guesses in these.

3 Aral Sea, Caspian Sea or South China Sea.

6 Phillipines Sea

10 Ukraine, Latvia or .....Russia??

12 Libya, Algeria, Morocco, Somalia, Mauritania?

19 One of the 'Stans' eg: Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Afghanistan. Or else Iran.

As for Q13 about Nunavut, this is a strange question. As I said, Nunavut is in far Northern Canada. The closest state is Alaska, but the US states it might be in a line with would have to be the North=-western states such as Washingtom, Idaho, Montana, North Dakota, etc. If it's not one of those, let me know the answer, 'cos I've got no idea. It's like saying which Australian state is closest to Chile

your other answers are correct rab

the answer never had anything to do with the closest state rab because Nunavut doesnt stretch to the otherside of alaska.

OK. I accidentally deleted your Pm about this, magpie, but I seem to recall it had to do with which state its western boundary was in line with, or something similar. So that we're on the same page, I'll give some detail.

Nunavut is a huge area of northern Canada. If you keep going west, you reach Alaska. That's not the correct answer. If you line it up south, it has to be one of the Canada/US border states. I've named a few, but if it's east of those, it has to be Minnesota, Michigan, Wisconsin or Maine, Illinois, New York.

If you go north, there's nothing. West is eventually Hawaii if this is a trick question.

If it's not one of these, PM me the answer
