	This is my first quiz, so please be lenient if there are mistakes. I wanted to include Australia as a bonus, but wasn't sure how to do it. Hope you enjoy it!

	Good idea. Nice quiz.

	schouw:	Dec 14th, 2009 at 05:25 GMT		1 point
	If you want to have bonuses, all you need to do is put 'ee' in the 3rd column. But if you want to have the population for bonuses, then you'll have to put it with the country. So for example, under the 'country' column: Australia (population)/Australia. Good quiz though, I enjoyed it.

	schouw:	Dec 14th, 2009 at 05:26 GMT		1 point
	One more thing, if you do put bonuses, make sure they are at the bottom of your list of answers, otherwise the percentage guessed goes all screwy.

	I think you're missing Bahrain. Also including the UK, indonesia, timor leste, papua new guinea, Dominican republic and Haiti is dubious because they do not follow the definition of island nation used in the " Island nation" quiz that was published long ago.

	crover:	Dec 14th, 2009 at 12:23 GMT		0 points
	I agree with nyo. Typed East Timor and immediately when it came up realised it isn't an island nation. If the entire country and it's dependents isn't on an island independent of any other countries I don't really think you can call it an island nation. Brilliant idea but I think you need to rework it and scrap half the answers. Indonesia, UK, Ireland, East Timor, Dominican Republic, Haiti & Papua New Guinea are all incorrect, not being Island Nations.

	@ schouw: Thanks for the info on the bonuses! @ nyo and crover: I was aware my definition of island nation was different from the one on that quiz, but since the note on top says clearly which definition I am using, I don't think there is any ground for complaint: the answers UK, Ireland, Haiti etc are all correct by the stated definition. I followed the definition Wikipedia uses, and thought that this way it would force those who have memorized the Island Nations quiz to do a bit of new thinking ;). Also, according to the linked source Bahrain has 791,000 inhabitants.

	I prefer this definition. One suggestion: make us guess in order. Otherwise its just a matter of listing a lot of island countries and seeing which ones stick.

	AlexRandom:	Dec 14th, 2009 at 13:50 GMT		2 points
	So far, only about 12% are getting all 18 answers, which seems to point against the quiz being too easy. I think forcing to answer in order would make it too difficult for most people unless the time was raised a lot.

	adam999:	Dec 14th, 2009 at 15:05 GMT		3 points
	i think that the sugestions of answers to be removed (UK, Ireland, East Timor, Dominican Republic, Haiti & Papua New Guinea) should be kept in because they are islands and if they are not islands australia is

	Nice quiz! I also prefer this definition. Whilst the other may be strictly more official, this one (so long as it is stated in the description) allows for more countries so a more interesting quiz. I don't think it should be guessed in order as the relatively tight time limit makes it challenging. adam999 - Australia is generally considered a continent, not an island.

	good quiz but you need a better source

	micah:	Dec 14th, 2009 at 21:16 GMT		1 point
	Good quiz. I'm perpetually surprised by how small Iceland is.

	Sporctastic:	Dec 15th, 2009 at 01:54 GMT		2 points
	Good quiz, I enjoyed this. I'm with the side that says keep it the way it is. I like your definition.

	Lighthouse:	Dec 19th, 2009 at 10:50 GMT		0 points
	i really liked this quiz, the only thing is, with this defnition, i would have also included malaysia

	Norway91:	Dec 19th, 2009 at 15:34 GMT		-1 points
	I tend to forget the obvious ones, I should have nailed the UK and Ireland

	conradmcmasters:	Dec 20th, 2009 at 01:14 GMT		1 point
	I didn't read the note and therefore messed up big time.

	atakdog:	May 23rd, 2010 at 08:23 GMT		3 points
	To those suggesting that this quiz should comport with the definition used in the "island nations" quiz: the definition used here is more intuitive, and there is no particular reason all Sporcle quizzes should be bound to a counterintuitive definition. This one works well as it is.
