Something a bit different for our geography quiz for Friday. In fact, you could call it an "Oh, gee-whiz" quiz instead.
Each year, the IgNobel awards spoof scientific research and achievements that "first make people laugh and then make them think."

But that's exactly what we are asking you to do.
