	I think you should make us answer in order since I was getting several answers trying to guess for just one hint, and I'm sure some people will try and guess the entire thing. As for the facts, I agree, many of these are pretty interesting.

	Really enjoyed this one, even if I was poor at it. Although, when you look back at the answers, a lot of them make perfect sense.

	Technically, I think Liechtenstein is also double-landlocked. Finland recently passed a law wherein internet access is a guarenteed right. Must be embarrasing to be unemployed in Andorra. And Swedes ARE evil; more national anthems should reflect on that.

	liechtenstein and uzbekistan are double landlocked. not kyrgyzstan because it borders china.

	kraikk:	Dec 6th, 2009 at 07:01 GMT	6 points
	What is your source? There are a good number of farms in Singapore.

	nyo:	Dec 6th, 2009 at 07:03 GMT	9 points
	There are two double landlocked countries so that quite an error. (liechtenstein and uzbekistan)

Comment below threshold: show it

	Very poorly executed (...). Try again.

	bsd987:	Dec 6th, 2009 at 08:29 GMT	4 points
	This quiz is so grossly inaccurate I'm embarrassed I even clicked on the link. In order from start to finish: most of the executions in Cuba occurred during the first decade to two decades after the revolution, so to state that 2/3 of the world's executions occurred there is like saying that 2/3 of the world's executions occur in the USSR. In any given year now, Cuba has a very small percentage. Uzbekistan and Liechtenstein are the double landlocked nations. The UAE is a mid-sized country. You need to state if you are referring to per capita GDP as PPP or nominal GDP. Somalia does have a formal government; it just lacks any legitimacy or ability to institute control over the country; Libya bans the consumption of alcohol as well. These are just the mistakes I know about.

	Hey bsd987 - way to assert your intellectual supremacy by acting like a total douche. A simple "these are the errors" wouldn't have sufficed?

	dolby:	Dec 6th, 2009 at 10:08 GMT	21 points
	i am pretty sure there are no unemployed persons in vatican city as well...

	thenastyaetolian:	Dec 6th, 2009 at 13:23 GMT	11 points
	I am Polish and I consider it an insult, perhaps unintended, that you should say that our national anthem speaks of "evil Swedes". It doesn't - it only recalls one of our generals and national heroes, who returned to Poland during the Swedish invasion of 17th century, to fight the Swedes and liberate the city of Poznan. Appalling.

	i own a pub in the united kingdom and i have never herd it is illegal to be drunk????? rubbish

	chrispaz:	Dec 6th, 2009 at 15:50 GMT	4 points
	Good idea for a quiz, but you've clearly not done much research.

	Rave:	Dec 6th, 2009 at 15:51 GMT	-4 points
	Kyrgyzstan is not doubly landlocked -- Uzbekistan is. The United States driving permit age is also 14. The highest peak in the world is in both Nepal and China.

	American:	Dec 6th, 2009 at 15:59 GMT	5 points
	I fixed the major error of this quiz- it was never intended to be kyrgyzistan that was double landlocked, i corrected that, also fixed the Cuban fact. CIA world factbook was the source for a lot of the countries but not all so I did not list it as a source.

	American:	Dec 6th, 2009 at 16:07 GMT	3 points
	@bsd987: the UAE is mid sized country compared to what? The majority of sporcle users are for the US, UK and Canada, I don't think they consider a country smaller than Florida a "mid-sized" country. I never stated that Sudan was the only African country that banned alcohol. The other errors have been corrected.

	asta:	Dec 6th, 2009 at 16:45 GMT	3 points
	hahaha, if its illegal to be drunk in a pub or bar in the uk then I should have been put in jail years ago, and multiple times.

	@jimmyyehh: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/magazine/4188071.stm --to my understanding it's a poorly enforced law.

	Monaco also has a 0% unemployment rate.

	ha ha the poland one is right above the swedish one

	Drbling:	Dec 6th, 2009 at 18:53 GMT	1 point
	Lichtenstein is double landlocked but its not in asia. The largest man made lake is in Uganda, not the US. Its also illegal to be drunk in an american bar technically. Its called public drunkeness.

@American - then please accept Libya as well since Libya is correct for what you have stated. Also UAE is about 110th in area out of 195 countries. That is hardly small.

	newenglander:	Dec 6th, 2009 at 20:03 GMT	4 points
	@rave-only in a couple states. we have no national driving permit age, states decide that

	mat:	Dec 6th, 2009 at 20:42 GMT	0 points
	The UK law sounds like one of those "facts" you hear every so often; whether true or not I don't know - but I've never heard it verified. Like the "law" that says you're not allowed to eat mince pies on Christmas Day...

	tartanarmybhoy:	Dec 7th, 2009 at 00:43 GMT	0 points
	Re: the shortest national anthem - going by word count, the Spanish national anthem has no official lyrics.

	SentioVenia:	Dec 7th, 2009 at 02:19 GMT	0 points
	On the second fact, please state which country's revolution.

	Sjoerd:	Dec 7th, 2009 at 22:00 GMT	2 points
	nice

	lalalala:	Dec 8th, 2009 at 02:54 GMT	0 points
	In some states of the US, the minimum age to drive is 14. Most are 15, anyway, which is the same as the one you have listed for New Zealand.

	lalalala:	Dec 8th, 2009 at 03:01 GMT	1 point
	@newenglander - that would mean the US is lowest anyway, because there are some people able to drive at 14, which no other country has.

	JC3:	Dec 8th, 2009 at 15:10 GMT	2 points
	I thought that "Vatican City" would have 0% unemployment. I've lived in the UK my entire life and I'm pretty sure it's not illegal to be drunk in a pub. Maybe you're thinking of Drunk and Disordely, which is clearly not the same as just being drunk.

	cranberry_sauce:	Dec 9th, 2009 at 17:47 GMT	2 points
	hey, to make things clear - there is nothing like cursing 'evil swedes' in polish anthem (unfortunatelly :). it only mentions swedish invasion in one verse.

	yellowcarpet:	Dec 10th, 2009 at 19:32 GMT	1 point
	Far too little time.

	raiders:	Dec 11th, 2009 at 04:25 GMT	2 points
	I know for a fact that you can obtain a drivers permit in Idaho at the age of 14. You can get a drivers licencse at 15 in that state.

	American:	Dec 12th, 2009 at 03:52 GMT	0 points
	@raiders the US does not have a NATIONAL driving permit, it's on a state by state basis. So you may be able to drive at 14 in Idaho or South Dakota, but in many other states you have to wait until 16 or older.

	Steesh:	Dec 12th, 2009 at 11:59 GMT	0 points
	Clearly a hard quiz to execute well but I think you've done a good job Mr American. The drunk in public one is obviously one of those ancient laws which have never been considered again, but aren't really a proper law anymore. I heard there was one that said in York on a certain day in the year it was legal to kill a Welshman with a longbow from 10 paces or something stupid like that.

	betraisefold:	Dec 13th, 2009 at 02:44 GMT	-2 points
	The tallest building question is temporarily flawed. Although it is debated the general consensus for this is that Burj Dubai will not officially count until it opens, scheduled for Jan 4th 2010...until then Taiwan should be the answer.

	kristen58:	Mar 2nd, 2010 at 04:30 GMT	0 points
	Really hard, having to answer in order is frustrating. I don't like it when I only get a few answers.

	Starra:	Feb 21st, 2012 at 07:50 GMT	1 point
	Just a note - the driving age in NZ was rased to 16 last year.
