I guess Britannica has been American for a very long time despite the name, but I still find the disparity between US geography and world geography questions on this quite funny. I'm often taking wild guesses at the US questions, while the world ones are laughably easy.

A US geography question will be like
Which of these towns has a 1st Street that intersects with Main Street?
A. Bend, MI; B. Bend, TX; C. Bend, MT; D. Bend, OR

And a world geography question goes more like:
Which of these countries is Britain?
A. Britain; B. France; C. The moon; D. A small aardvark

Okay, I'm exaggerating, but only a little bit.

I joked about this the other day, but I think today's finished me off - the idea that the "which US president is on which coin" question was supposed to be easier than the "which of these countries is on the equator" one is just mad to me.

Is anyone aware of any similar free daily quiz from a British outlet/site?

A bit slower than usual with a couple of educated guesses but how the fcuk are British people supposed to remember/know the very specific American question about US coinage 50 years ago!?
