How embarasking (Score:2)
I got 17/20. Besides missing the religion-size question as Pudge did, I also mis-placed Sweden and Argentina.
Not that I've ever needed to know the location of either...

I hope you didn't mistake Sweden for Argentina. :-)
The test choices for Sweden made the question easier for me. If those choices had included Norway and Denmark, I would have been S.O.L. The many Spanish class I took in High School and College acquainted me with Argentina's position in South America. The Falkland War also helped.
How does anyone who has seen a world map not know where the Pacific ocean is? There are only five oceans on Earth and most of the world's population lives on the coasts of three of them. Like Zorknapp, I can't understand how even the most barely educated student would fail to locate his country of origin on a map. This speaks either of youthful nihilism or terminal stupidity.
