In honor of the recent heat wave across North America, I decided to see how much worse it could have been...(and the answer is not very much!) I'll appreciate your input - any category that I should add?

I found the quiz a little frustrating because some of the well-established (but questionable) older records were excluded, but the source seems to be detailed, both in the volume of data and why scertain older records were excluded. Good quiz! It probably should have a little more time, though.

I thought the hottest max temp was in Libya...unless something has changed recently.

If you check out the source, there is a comment that says "an old record of 58.0C was recorded under terrible exposure conditions" in Libya. I decided to ignore all of these records that are not considered "official" by the source. I know it's debatable but I had to set a standard for the quiz, and that's the one I choose.
