What’s up the silly mistake? You did great.
You can forgive yourself for the one mistake made. ?
10/12 – I leave for India in 2 days, happy I’m no
*not completely clueless
Wow! Great to know you’re on a trip there soon. Hope we’ll be given a rare view of your expedition there? ?
I am glad I was timely with this quiz for you. ?
Yes, I’m sure there will be posts to follow 🙂

Albert Sir! You’re an “A” student.
Keep up the brilliant work.
Am I? Yippiiiieeee….
Hahaha! ?
Thanks, O my cool teacher
I am most humble Sir.
You got 11 out of 12 right!
Perfect. You rock!
i got the Far/East/Middle east question wrong.
You are the rocker Sir! ?
You did great on this quiz.
Thanks for your time.
Ma!
got 10 out of 12 right!
Is it the fact that everyone here are well informed about India or that the questions are easy?
But not to take anything from it, you did excellent. ??
11/12. I don’t see how “I am not sure” can be a wrong answer if somebody is not sure!
Hahaha! Well, it is here? ?
You did excellently well though! Almost impeccable. ?
Which question did you get wrong?
I meant, “It is here.”
It was the Near/Middle/Far East question. To me the Far East means China and SouthEast Asia, not South Asia. The Middle East generally means Iran, Iraq, etc, but if you are going to use all three divisions – which is not usually done – then South Asia would be Middle and not Far! I am reminded of the comment by the former US Vice-President Dan Quayle that the strategic value of the Middle East was that it kept the Near East and Far East from bumping into each other!
In the broader categorisation, Indian been part of the South-East Asia was also placed under the Far East. The British Empire got their spices from India in from about the 15th century, and that was the name sailors and explorers call India. Also you’ll agree with me that it was the search for an alternative sea route to India, to bye cut the middlemen, that lead to the discovery of the Americas.
But thank for you the added information Sir. You’ve given more insight to the discuss.
nice
Thanks siall.
10 right out of 12 🙂
That’s A++
So which of the questions did you miss?
Thank you! I missed the number of languages and the “Far East”.
Oh!
For the “Far East”, it was from there what is today commonly known as the Middle East (The Arab world and the Jewish land) was derived using the description method of the cardinal point by explorers.
For the Far East the European explorers have starred using that name mean every nations in Northeast, East and South East Asia.
All these knowledge, thanks to my studying as an historian. ??
Thank you for sharing your hard-won knowledge, Adejoh! I can tell you are becoming a valued asset at Virily, my friend 🙂
