Can You Survive The Pompeo Challenge? Name These Unmarked CountriesJanuary 29, 2020 12:00 GMTNPR journalist Mary Louise Kelly says U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo -- apparently angered over some tough questioning -- summoned her to his private living room at the State Department and challenged her to point to Ukraine on an unmarked map. Kelly -- who has a master's degree in European Studies from Cambridge -- said she did. Pompeo (who's set to arrive in Kyiv on January 30) later suggested Kelly had pointed to Bangladesh instead. How would you fare if you were called on the carpet by Pompeo?Map Quiz at: https://www.rferl.org/a/pompeo-npr-kelly-ukraine-map-quiz/30403854.html
I think that's actually a pretty hard quiz. I lucked out on one country, missed another. I did okay. So, RFERL is having a bit of fun.
You did better than I. The 'stans were all messed up for me.
10/10Always been good at geography. Toughest was Turkmenistan -- almost clicked Uzbekistan except I always remember Turkmenistan as being closest to Turkey.
Child's Play - 10/10. As a kid I was an avid stamp collector and shortwave radio listener, I credit that for giving me a good background in Geography.
