Well, if you see how ridiculous some questions are...
"You're near the foot of some big hills. They might be mountains, in fact, but from where you are it's hard to tell. There's a train station nearby, but no flightless birds, which might seem odd."
And the question is which Sydney area you're in. And I had another question about an area north of Los Angeles. I mean, I'm not completely oblivious when it comes to geography, but these are ridiculous if you've never been there.
I realize the questions are picked at random, but is it always like this? I've played music quizzes on the main site every now and then, but at least those are within a reasonable scope - even if half the questions deal with country music.
