Anyone over 16 years of age, should be ashamed of themselves if they don't get 20 in that test.
I can't believe that last question, about Argentina: only one option is even on the right continent, and only 27% of the Americans that took the test got it. That means 73% of the Americans that took the test either couldn't locate South America or did not know that Argentina was in South America...

I thought the number for Brazil was an option as well.

oops, I might have missed that...
....even so anyone (especially anyone living in the Americas) should be able to distinguish between Brazil and Argentina.

I'm pretty sure Russia has a significantly lower population than the US.
I think Islam is the fastest growing religion... not too sure though.

On a related note, I once took a history class where the professor started talking about Ceylon. I was confused and asked him "I don't know where Ceylon is." He gave me a hard time about it and pointed to it on the map. I replied "If you meant Sri Lanka, why didn't you say Sri Lanka?"
I think my problem with Islam is as Anton described. I think my problem with Russia is I forgot about the population they lost when all the Soviet satellite states seceded.

Ya gotta smile!
Even with all the states included (i.e. the former Soviet Union) the population would still be considerably less than China or India. Russia is a big place, but there's a lot of uninhabited space out there!

not really a hard test, they could have perhaps made it harder when naming countries if they put alot of the countries nearby to the actual country up for selection (which could have confused things).

My problem with tests. Who checks and makes sure they are accurate? This one was poor. A 5% error rate is not acceptable to me. The first question was way off. The most widespread and practiced religion is Islam. Christianity is a distant third behind Buddism. Way behind Buddism. I also disliked the overall flavor of this test. I could see definate political leanings in the choice of questions. Poor work overall.
