| I'm not sure what the date of the split up has to do with it. The instructions on the quiz ask us to name the newest countries. In each of those instances, there are two new countries, not one. Also, it is possible that people know the name of one of countries and not the other. Again, because of the hints, in this case it is fairly obvious what the answers are. However, by that logic if your quiz when back one year further in time to the breakup of the Soviet Union, providing one of the former Soviet Republics would cause all of those newly independent countries to light up as soon as any one of them were given. If the quiz was "name a country formed from the break up of country X" that would be fine. But when the quiz asks us to name all of the countries formed since 1992, then we should have to list them all, not just one for each date that had a declaration of independence. |
