It isn't 195 square miles it is 195,000 square miles.

Continent: North America Country: Canada Territory: Nunavut No state OR province, it's a territory! Nunavut is a new territory, officially separated from the Northwest Territories of Canada since 1999. As to the kettle of fish, the Baffin Bay and Davis Strait provide 116 species of fish from Arctic char and herring to deep water fish such as turbot. Not so odd.

Nothing misleading. Just because you've never heard of it doesn't make it misleading. "The fault, dear Brutus, is not in ours stars, but in ourselves, that we are underlings."

About 11,000 people live on Baffin Island, most of them in Iqaluit, the capital of Nunavut.

Fifth largest island in the world isn't small. The fact that it's name isn't recognised doesn't invalidate it's place in the world, and the answers being presented in varying geographical units don't cause the question to be invalid either. The way Frank Cowell was able to present the options in different geographical units was noteworthy.
