Try out this Africa Quiz from the excellent Ethan Zuckerman. I’m ashamed to say that I got one wrong.

80% to your 90%.
I said nominations for Nobel and had Nigeria thinking Ibo and Yoruba etc instead of Tanzania and Kiswahili (which was my second choice).
Still, not bad for a wingnut blogger.
Tim – I got the prize one wrong as well. I hesitated over Tanzania & Nigeria but realised that I read a lot of Nigeria-based blogs and hardly any Tanzania-based ones. You did well to get 80%.
80%. I got the birthday question wrong, and the one about cellphones — which was annoying as I almost chose the correct answer on both. I did guess on a few of ythe ones i got right; evidently I guessed correctly.
