        Ukraine is on it (he vaguely knows about Putin). So is North Korea. Syria isn't. Italy is a bit far east. And Brazil is called Barcelona!

        @tomstandage good work. I'm guessing the areas are relative to how much a country is discussed at school and in the Standage household?

        @wadds To some extent. He knows North Korea is mad and Putin is bad. And we went on holiday to Turkey.

        @ramez Thanks! My 15yo daughter, meanwhile, is obsessed with machine ethics. Does @singularityu do summer courses/events she could attend?

        @psygnisfive @ramez Yeah, he wasn't sure whether it was called Barcelona or Brazil. He went for Barcelona. He knows there are beaches.
