I failed too but it gives me some consolation to point out that one of the questions is incorrect - the Canary Islands are in the Atlantic, not the Pacific. Nevertheless that was one of the ones I got right so I'm not sure what that says!

Cheers.

I knew a few, not that I am a superbrain, I just enjoy watching QI and some of the answers to these must have sunk in.
