Oh, I didn't realize it shows answers right away. Previous version didn't do that. 9/13 would have been a great score.

edit: I've changed the link to a test that doesn't mark correct answers right away, previous link: http://factfulnessquiz.com/

The two versions of the quiz claim different correct answers for the population of the continents question.

Huh, indeed, factfulnessquiz.com seems to be selecting wrong answer as correct even though they list correct answer correctly on http://factfulnessquiz.com/answers

Pretty serious given that there are only 13 questions and that's what the whole website is about. They didn't even leave any contact. I'll send an email to gapminder.

Nice catch, and a really bad job from whoever made the quiz website. Triple checking those answers should be a priority.

Comparing to the answer I just looked up in the print version of the book (and double checking on google) the http://factfulnessquiz.com/ is incorrect on this point.
