Geography Bee Round 2

Last Wednesday Kevin took the test that will determine if he qualifies for the competition for the Michigan state championship. He says it was 'pretty easy', that he finished in plenty of time and was able to check his answers. A total of 70 multiple choice questions were on the test....here's a sampling of questions Kevin remembered he was unsure of (and how he did on his guesses).

The Tropic of Cancer is at what latitude? (he thought, but wasn't sure, that it was 33 degrees north and was correct.

The currency of El Salavador is the same as it's largest export partner, what is it? He guessed peso for Mexico and was wrong. It's the dollar.

What langauge is spoken in Brazil? Guessed Portugese and was correct.

The Capital of Pakistan is? Answered Islamabad, and was correct.

More information as it develops......
