The Latvian news portal LA.lv has released a new entertainment-style quiz inviting readers to test their geography knowledge. Participants are asked to identify the capitals of a range of countries, with the quiz's creators noting that common knowledge, such as knowing the capitals of France or Germany, will not be enough this time.

How the quiz works

The quiz is framed as a virtual journey around the world, requiring participants to choose the correct answer from several options for each question. It consists of ten questions in total. One example question asks users to identify the capital of Switzerland, offering a choice between Bern and Geneva.

Passing score

To pass the quiz, participants must score at least 80%. According to the quiz's creators, achieving this result requires knowing more than most other people, suggesting the test is designed as a fairly demanding challenge even for those with solid geography knowledge.

The quiz is part of LA.lv's entertainment section, which regularly features knowledge and trivia tests for its readers.
