The altitude question ruined a perfect score. As a teenager I was practically bed bound due to an accident one summer. I used the time (among other things) to learn all the US states and their capitals and some trivia (my father gave me a special edition of National Geographic or GEO [I don't remember which] with facts about all states and interesting (not so touristy) sites to see there. So at least, something came out of this horrible and lonely summer of a german teenager... 😅
Probably better than most Americans would do with other countries, and I'm American. I'd also probably fail a test on the name of other countries' currencies. I'm an accepting and curious person, but if I ever claimed to be cosmopolitan I'd be lying.
