A somewhat biased view on China…
Chinese, Japanese, Korean? Can you tell the difference? While I agree that it is quite easy to determine the origin of a group of CJKs I think it is quite difficult to tell for a specific individuals…
If you think it’s easy, then I challenge you! Go on AllLookSame.com and try their test. You have to identify the country of origin of 18 CJKs… And remember that a random pick would give you around 6 correct answers
I myself got 7 correct answers, which is 1 more than the average but still very bad. Just for fun, I asked a few Chinese colleagues and their results were pretty… 3/18, 9/18, 8/18!
So, is it true??? Do they all look same? Pass the test and share your results in the comments!

4/18… It’s just better to use a coin!!
I think that it is not possible to do a score like that even if you want!!

Oups sorry made the post in french… So as it will be moderated anyway here is the english version :
I made 7 as well as my korean girlfriend, although she usually good at it. Last time I tried to trick here with a korean-japanese mix she got it right.
I think it’s quite possible for them to take picture of people that doesn’t look what they are, just to make the test hard… Anyway in Seoul I’m making a better score in my university ^^
