With geographic illiteracy rampant, it's no surprise this question is ranked the hardest. I don't know where Bermeo is either. Basque suggests Spain, so Bay of Biscay. I wonder why so many audience members went with Bay of Bengal. Maybe Bermeo sounds Indian.

Maybe, but 29% is barely above the 25% we'd expect from a random guess. If the audience had any hunches at all about the answer, it was that nobody basks on the beach along Baffin Bay.

Well, 9% of the audience would.
