Most Americans probably couldn't find the US on a world map.

To be honest, that's not half bad. I wouldn't be able to do the map of the US nearly as well as most of these people did Europe. And I'd also suck at filling in eastern Europe.

Too bad though that most people can't find The Netherlands apparently.

"The Netherlands? Ain't that the capital of Amsterdam?"

Here is a map of Europe - I couldn't place all the countries:

It's confusing how they lumped Scotland, England and Wales together under "United Kingdom". Most Americans at least made an effort to separate those.

Nobody wrote Lichtenstein. Is that even an independent nation these days?

I wonder if the "good gymnasts" was meant to be Romania, which is farther south.

When I was in grade school I would have got 100% easily. But, as with much knowledge that is never used, it fades with time.

I think you mean median, not average. You and George are in the bottom half.
