	I had this funny feeling Luxembourg was quite near Germany... Otherwise it's a fun idea.

	AngrySi:	Jul 29th, 2011 at 12:46 GMT	4 points
	My bad. Got my Luxembourgs and my Liechtensteins muddled up. I'm hanging my head in embarrassed shame.

	thedpr:	Jul 29th, 2011 at 13:59 GMT	5 points
	Russia (the Kaliningrad Oblast, which is not a colony or territory) is closer to Germany than Romania is.

	AngrySi:	Jul 29th, 2011 at 14:21 GMT	1 point
	It's not part of the principal land mass, though, is it? I had that specific area in mind when I added the note... is there a better way I should have worded it?

	Onno:	Jul 29th, 2011 at 15:10 GMT	5 points
	Nope, you should just make Russia the answer. Kaliningrad Oblast might not be connected to the rest of Russia, but it's on the Eurasian landmass as well.

	AngrySi:	Jul 29th, 2011 at 15:19 GMT	4 points
	Alright, if that's the consensus... done.

	Sjoerd:	Jul 29th, 2011 at 16:37 GMT	2 points
	Germany is probably the best choice for this quiz; well done!

	corndog:	Jul 29th, 2011 at 17:44 GMT	32 points
	Good thing you accepted "UK", because I was trying to type "Ukraine".

	bsd987:	Jul 29th, 2011 at 18:33 GMT	5 points
	Montenegro doesn't trigger a mine.

	bimmy2468:	Jul 29th, 2011 at 20:28 GMT	-1 points
	chinas not a mine

	Davidos:	Jul 29th, 2011 at 20:36 GMT	12 points
	why would you even try China bimmy2468?

	ahh:	Jul 29th, 2011 at 20:39 GMT	1 point
	yeah montenegro should trigger a mine

	Davidos:	Jul 29th, 2011 at 20:40 GMT	4 points
	you should accept Vatican for Vatican City.

Comment below threshold: show it

	redsimba88:	Jul 30th, 2011 at 00:19 GMT	5 points
	@Caius It's a mine because Luxembourg is closer.

	FreakyFlyBry:	Jul 30th, 2011 at 07:09 GMT	10 points
	Damn, got caught on Turkey! Tricky, tricky Tunisia getting in the way and being closer to Germany despite not being in Europe!

	pienet:	Jul 30th, 2011 at 15:44 GMT	1 point
	Norway didn't trigger a mine after I'd entered Netherlands (duh...)

	Colmar:	Jul 30th, 2011 at 16:59 GMT	1 point
	If it's been changed to reflect Kaliningrad Oblast, you should take down the note. Unrelated, I got all of them, except for 'R'

	Why did I try Japan?!

	AngrySi:	Aug 1st, 2011 at 12:43 GMT	1 point
	China/Montenegro issues sorted, requested Vatican change made - and thanks, Sjoerd, nice of you to say :-)

	If you liked this quiz, I've made another - Niger's Neighbours. http://www.sporcle.com/games/AngrySi/nigers-neighbours-a-z---minefield

	neil537:	Aug 2nd, 2011 at 07:25 GMT	1 point
	stupidly, I tried to enter Uzbekistan for 'U' but it doesn't trigger any mines! good quiz

	Cweg2107:	Aug 2nd, 2011 at 16:15 GMT	1 point
	Was going to type Ukraine but luckily UK tripped United Kingdom. Might consider making people type out full name.

	Christus:	Aug 4th, 2011 at 13:25 GMT	3 points
	Is it me or am I just too stupid to come up with another country with 'M' after Moldova, Montenegro, Macedonia and Malta?

	Christus:	Aug 4th, 2011 at 13:27 GMT	2 points
	I got it, I am too stupid

	Hominid:	Aug 4th, 2011 at 17:42 GMT	1 point
	Montenegro still doesn't have a mine.

	bife:	Aug 5th, 2011 at 15:29 GMT	4 points
	good use of the minefield concept - limits 'random guessing' but encourages 'educated guessing', hard enough to have to play it a few times but easy enough to get a solid start. Overall, very good! Although I'll be bu****** if I can find the 'M' without cheating

	gabe25591:	Nov 29th, 2011 at 18:25 GMT	1 point
	All I'm gonna say is Yemen. lol.
