Got them all, although I don't consider which country has the most Muslims or what language is most common in the world "geography" questions. I think if they showed you a country and asked its language or religion -- then maybe, but not general questions about the entire world. Last Edited By: patash2 12/29/08 10:52:17. Edited 2 times.

Any road up, I got the Islamic one; I got the language one wrong, but only becuase of the adjective. I misremembered that relatively few spoke that language. Hey ho!
