I put this geography quiz together several years ago for a bible class.  Everyone enjoyed it.  I added a few things in (like #7) that you should enjoy.  This is not a test upon which you’ll be graded, but this will allow you to have some fun thinking and looking for answers.  Stay away from the answer key until you’re done.  If nothing else, see how good you can guess at what you don’t know.  - Brian
