Upon clicking START you will be presented with a 5×5 grid of world countries.

The object of this quiz is to choose the top 3 in the given category for the countries shown in the grid. When you begin you’ll be given 25 different countries plus a category to name the top 3 in, which will display just above the grid. For example, if the category says ‘Top 3 Largest Area’ you are to click on the 3 countries with the largest area. If it says ‘Top 3 Smallest Max Elevation’ you are to click on the 3 countries whose max elevation is the lowest. You can deselect the first or second country you chose on by re-clicking it, but when you choose the 3rd country they will be submitted, removed from the grid, and you will get a score from 0-100 based on how close your set of 3 comes to the optimum set of 3 (which will be shown as a ‘Rank’ on top out of the # of possible sets of 3 for the last choice). When you’ve answered all 8 sets of 3 leaving only 1 country the quiz is over. You get a 100 points bonus for completing the sets making for a total possible score of 2500.

PLEASE NOTE – countries INCLUDED dependent territories EXCEPT for the ‘Highest/Lowest Mean Temp’ categories, which only applies to the ‘main’ portion of the country (i.e. no Greenland for Denmark for average temp).
