Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. If you are standing in Saskatchewan, facing south towards the US border, what Canadian province would be toward your left?

Answer: Manitoba

The three Canadian prairie provinces (west to east) are Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba. Saskatchewan is in the middle, so if you were there and facing south, Manitoba would be to the east, on your left side. Nunavut is one of the northern territories, so it would not be on either side of you if you were facing south.

2. If you are driving north in Orlando, Florida, what is the first large body of water that you would encounter if you turned left and kept driving straight ahead?

Answer: Gulf of Mexico

Florida is surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean on the east and the Gulf of Mexico on the west. That means that if you were headed north in Orlando, the Gulf of Mexico would be off to the left, in the west. It is the first large body of water that you would come to if you drove west.

3. If you are standing on the equator on the east coast of South America, and you are facing west, what country is to your left?

Answer: Brazil

The equator runs through Brazil, so if you are standing on it at the eastern coast of South America, it is on on your left side as you face west. (It is also on your right side at that point since the equator runs through the country, but that is a question for another quiz.)

4. If you are facing north in Canada's westernmost community, what is the first country to your left?

Answer: The United States of America

Canada's westernmost community is Beaver Creek, Yukon Territory. If you are there and facing north, the first country to your left is the state of Alaska in the USA.

Answer: Louisiana & Arkansas

If you are travelling against the flow, you will be travelling in a mostly northerly direction through the state of Mississippi. If you face the front of the boat, the west is on your left side, and the two states to the west across from Mississippi at that point are Louisiana and Arkansas.

6. If you were in Jamaica, facing Haiti, which large island would be the first one in the distance to your left?

Answer: Cuba

Cuba is to the north of Jamaica. If you are in Jamaica and facing Haiti, which is to the east, that means that Cuba is on your left. The Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico are to the east of Haiti, so they would be in front of you. The Cayman Islands are to the west of Jamaica, so they would be behind you.

7. You are standing in Utah at the "Four Corners Monument" in the US where Utah, Colorado, New Mexico, and Arizona come together. If you are facing east, which of these is on your left?

Answer: None of them.

Utah is the north-west state of the four. This means that if you were there and facing east, your left side would be facing towards the northern border of the state, and not towards any of its "Four Corner" neighbors. Wyoming is actually off in the distance to your left if you are in Utah and facing east at the Four Corners Monument.

8. If you were facing north in Adelaide, Australia, what Australian capital is off to the left?

Answer: Perth

Adelaide is in South Australia. If you are there and facing north, Western Australia would be on your left. The capital of Western Australia is Perth.

9. You are in Mongolia, facing east. What country borders Mongolia to your left?

Answer: Russia

Facing east in Mongolia, your left side is to the north. Directly north of Mongolia is Russia. Japan is off to the east and Kazakhstan is off to the west, neither bordering Mongolia. China borders Mongolia to the south.

10. If you are standing in Maine, USA facing south, what Canadian Atlantic province borders the state that you are in on your left side?

Answer: New Brunswick

New Brunswick borders Maine immediately to the east (on your left as you face south). None of the other Atlantic provinces border any of the US states.
