Very difficult, but interesting. There's a typo in the title (susface should be surface).

I think what "protected" exactly means should be explain more.

This quiz is totally pointless without a definition of "protected." Protected by what? Do you mean in a national park kind of sense?

51% of China? That's a whole lot of land... protected from what?

Number two surprised me. You might want to lower the time; I think I guessed over 90% of the world's countries.

Yes, definition of 'protected' would certainly help. I believe perhaps half of the US (mostly the West) is owned by the gov. in some way, thus 'protected' from... something.
