Are you familiar with the DIS or DAT format? It’s very simple: I give you a statement and you have to decide whether it is true for Israel or for Turkey – or both. Do share how well you do 🙂

7/16, very informative geographical & cultural quiz!!!
Thank you, Anastasia! I am happy you enjoyed it 🙂
I got eight out of sixteen.
That’s 50% and that means a pass – well done!
I think 50% more then enough.
Very interesting quiz. I have 10 correct answers
Well done, Vida! And thank you for participating 🙂
Great quiz … it was already much better … it can be seen that my country is closer and I know a little better … I have 11 regular
Good score, Lado! Thanks for taking the quiz 🙂
You got 14 out of 16 right!
Perfect. You rock! Yeeaa!!!
Outstanding result, Marija! Well done 🙂
I got 15 right, although I was a bit disappointed about the Mediterranean Sea question – aren’t the combined lengths of the Black and Aegean Sea coasts longer than that on the Med?
Excellent result, John. Your calculation is doubtless correct, but the Aegean is generally recognised as being part of the Med.
It could be argued either way!
I’m honestly not sure what argument could be made for the Aegean not being part of the Med. This is the first time I’ve encountered such a view. You would count the Bay of Biscay as part of the Atlantic, right? 🙂
Difficult one for me but I learned a lot about dis and dat! 🙂
Never mind dat, so long as you learned all about dis!
Hi, my name is Scott and I am a Norman Quiz Addict.
I missed so many on this one, my dog started point Dis at me.
Oh no, not the dog pointing Dis!! (You might want to see someone about that addiction 😉 )
I have, I had to wait an hour while they were doing your newest quizzes!
?? ?
You got 9 out of 16 right!
Not a bad score at all, Witty! Thanks for playing 🙂
I got only 5 right, LOL that was awful.
Never mind, Dawn, it was no easy quiz! And thanks for participating 🙂
I could not visualize Israel and Turkey and do not know too much about them but I did get 6 right and I did learn a lot about them.
LOL, Rasma, I did make it quite tricky! Thanks for trying the quiz 🙂
