Got bombed out with 'Guinea' but was actually typing Guinea-Bissau which would be a valid answer (according to the reference source - has a smaller population than The Gambia which is number 51). Needs to be sorted

Nice idea, but would have been better as just the top 50. As it is, its most countries. Also, please accept saint lucia, saint vincent etc, not just st.

Exactly the same thing happened to me as rje_dobbin. Has potential but that definitely needs sorting out.

Hrm, didn't notice the thing with Guinea/Guinea-Bissau. Not sure what can be done about that. All I can think of is either (1) require answering in order (yuck) or (2) simply leave Guinea out entirely (obviously less than ideal). Any other ideas/consensus?

@jnhickson: it does accept those St./Saint ones you mentioned. The only one I found that I forgot was St. Kitts and Nevis --> Saint Kitts and Nevis. Fixed that one. (And I stuck with 100 because that's what all the other cool minefield kids are doing...)

Answering in order would be way too hard. Leave Guinea off the mines. Also, this would be better if it showed actual populations for countries you've guessed.

Sporcle support says their consensus is to "leave Guinea-Bissau blank as a 'freebie'", but I can't figure out how, and I think they must've gone for the day. Yeah, I did originally list the populations as extra info, but when you hit a mine, for some reason, it would list it as population zero, which I thought confusing, so I took them off.

Ok, made some changes.
• Made Guinea unrecognized — not a mine anymore
• Added populations back in, but as part of the display name
• Reformatted a bit to fit the new info better
• Discovered you couldn't finish without taking a mine; fixed that
Let me know what you think...
