Even Aussies find Oprah Winfrey’s Australia quiz difficult!
By ANIThursday, December 9, 2010
MELBOURNE - Oprah Winfrey wanted to test her fans’ knowledge about Australia by setting up a quiz for them, but the problem is, her questions are so difficult that even the natives had no answers.
The quiz, “How savvy are you when it comes to The Land Down Under?”, has been inundated with comments from Australian fans who have branded the multiple-choice test as a joke.
“Well for starters there is no such thing as a ‘Dingo Fence’. It’s called a Rabbit Proof Fence!! Who made up these questions?” News.com.au quoted one Oprah fan, shelare, as writing.
“Try actually being creative instead of asking us useless statistics that not even Australian’s know! I got 3… and I teach Australian History at a high school… in Australia!!” another wrote.
The largely statistic-based quiz asks fans quantitative questions such as, “How many million species of plants does Australia support?”, “What’s the population density per square kilometre?” and “What percentage of the world’s opals does Australia produce?”.
But fans have blasted the quiz as “boring,” “too hard” and failing to harness some of the more interesting trivia from our country, and others have complained that some of the questions were wrong. (ANI)
