Pocket World in Figures - A Quick Quiz

The 2011 edition of the Pocket World in Figures is now available and I have always found it a handy reference point in the classroom for digging out some useful statistics and sometimes quirky bits of data on all sorts of topics. The country profiles are also valuable for time-poor teachers. I have put together a ten question quiz based on some of the information from the book and I plan to use it on a Friday one week! It can be downloaded below together with the answers!
