Question 26: Manioc, or cassava, is the third-largest source of carbs in the tropics, after rice and corn. Where does it originate from?

[Pirez]

Central Africa?

[Hunchman801]

Not quite, despite Nigeria and DRC being the largest producers.

[Rsandee]

Indonesia?

[DaveRattlehead]

South America? No idea about the country.

[Hunchman801]

That's correct! Most likely, present-day Brazil. You must skip this question now.

Question 27: In which Central Asian countries does the majority of people speak an Indo-European language?

[Rsandee]

Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, India

[Greengoop]

Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan XD

[Rsandee]

Yeah okay India technically it isn't part of central Asia I guess but everything is relative

[The Jonster]

Well if India is part of central Asia we might as well say that China is too! Anyways don't know a lot of countries in Asia that's not in the Southeast, so no guesses from me.

[Master]

Going off traditional classifications, isn't India classed as South Asia?

[Greengoop]

That was my thought as well

[Hunchman801]

If it can help, Central Asia in its traditional definition includes 5 countries, one of which hasn't been named yet.

Anyway, all answers so far contain mistakes, so everyone may try again. To clarify, I'm asking for the Central Asian countries where the majority language is Indo-European.

[Greengoop]

Kazakhstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan?

[Rsandee]

Kazakhstan, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, Iran.

Like I said, everything is relative. India is a big place and the north isn't the same as the south. People still haven't figured out whether Slovenia is central Europe or eastern for example. It's all imaginary line drawing.

[Greengoop]

Relative? I thought that they were classified?

[Rsandee]

Relative? I thought that they were classified?

Nice troll.

[Greengoop]

Relative? I thought that they were classified?

Nice troll.

What do you mean nice troll? I was asking a serious question, since I thought it was a fact that Slovenia was Balkan and India was South Asia

[Hunchman801]

Well, to clarify things, let's go for the most common modern definition, in which Central Asia is composed of Kazakhstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan. Goop named them all, but still didn't answer the question correctly, so let's try again! Everyone may answer again.
