nyaaaaaaaa IDK where all my geography knowledge came from
I thiiiiiiiink it was that I frequently was bored and looked at an atlas thbthtbhtbthbthtb tho
idk i feel like most of my wrong answers are at least reasonable guesses, those are the only two egregiously bad ones i actively remember
Iāll never understand why they focused so much on geography in middle school when we genuinely couldnāt give a fuck at remembering it vs highschool
in 8th grade I fortunately beat my younger brother at the school level (he got 2nd place and lost because he didnāt know how to pronounce Hokkaido)
thereās the occasional āthings that were already mentioned in the questionā wrong answer, usually on the third part of bonuses where i wasnāt entirely paying attention to the first two parts
(which meant that, when they gave the question orally, he didnāt know what they said)
i knew geography once but quizbowl geography questions are evil and i have a teammate who knows it better

they tossed up the karakoram mountains for high schoolers once and despite this being like 4 years ago i still associate the writer of that question with doing that
heās karakoram boy to me
well that and in his senior year of high school he got bailed out by the protest committee on two separate nationals runs while not winning either
