I think Bhutan should be on here. When I checked, the distance between Bhutan and Hawaii is 6541 so I think it might scrape in. I'm not 100% sure though.
I spelt "Mauritius" wrong, never went back to it and drove myself bonkers trying to figure out what obscure Central African country may have popped into existence. Thankfully solved the mystery with about 5 seconds remaining.
It's bothering me that "furthest" does not pertain to physical distance. Title should be "Countries FARthest from the US"!!! Thanks 9th grade English for that pet peeve
If we are getting pedantic, farther has traditionally meant in as far as possible in terms of physical distance. Further has traditionally meant as far as possible in terms of degree. My claim that my drive was farthest from the tee was the furthest thing from the truth. There’s a reason “farthest from the truth” sounds wrong. But I think this is one of those English things that is slowly disappearing.
Nice quiz! I kind of tested random islands and countries around the Indian Ocean until I came up with Madagascar, and the entered all the countries directly around it. Countries of the World Quiz definitely came in handy for this.
i got them all but namibia, i misspelled it so i thought it was wrong
