Cambodia, question by question
Vietnam is a wrong choice for Phnom Penh and again for Cambodia's flag and outline. Thailand, Laos and Vietnam sit beside Cambodia in the flag round. Laos, Thailand and Vietnam again for the outline.
Trivia asks: “Angkor Wat is in which country?” The answer is Cambodia. It also asks: “Which large lake in Cambodia fills from the Mekong each rainy season?” (Tonlé Sap). Explorer has 4 photos from Cambodia, none marked hard; Angkor Wat and Phnom Penh are the easy ones.
Every Cambodia question, with streaks and a leaderboard, is in the app.
