It’s not uncommon for HQ Trivia questions to completely stump people, but it’s not too often that it’s an Australian-focused one that has most of the world completely oblivious to the answer.
This morning, HQ Trivia asked players what the Capital of Australia was. Obviously, we know the answer to be Canberra, but with Sydney and Melbourne by far being the most recognisable Australian cities to others around the world, Canberra was by far the most least chosen option and people aren’t too happy about it.
In-fact, literally 1.1 million people who answered the question didn’t know the answer. Only 251,000 people out of about 1.4 million knew the correct answer with 500,000 and 600,000 people respectively choosing Melbourne and Sydney.
