	Most of these wrong answers have a tiny 3rd border, was so hard to try and picture them.

	I don't want to complain about exclusions - I expected there to be way less and thus to find and exhaustive list. Just wondering which ones are missing. I can immediately think of Panama, Bhutan and the Netherlands (with the caveat in the archived comments, but since Sporcle convention is that overseas territories do not count and Sint Maarten unlike Saint Martin is not an integral part of its country, it could be argued for). Any more?

	I'm not sure if the correct answers were supposed to be ALL the "countries that only border two other countries" because there are at least four other countries which "only border two other countries": Bhutan (China and India), Estonia (Latvia and Russia), Lebanon (Israel and Syria) and Yemen (Saudi Arabia and Oman). If all the qualifying countries weren't supposed to be included, why were only 21 selected?

	I love any geography quiz that forces me to picture maps in my head, but what's especially great about this one is how plausible the wrong answers are. Five globes.

	first sporcle quiz where Kyrgyzstan is not an answer

	What happened with the Netherlands? Ok St Maarten, borders St Martin (FR) However, unlike the french part of the island actually is part of France, the "dutch" part isn't part of the netherlands. It has got it's own government. St Maarten only shares the monarch with the Netherlands, and by that is part of the kingdom of the netherlands, but not of the netherlands itself no more.

	I clicked on Canada, hanging my head in shame.

	@peanutbutter325: the rule "when in doubt, try Kyrgyzstan" sometimes fails. I don't recommend it if the quiz is about Spanish-speaking countries or island nations, for example. @Captstig: Canada would have been a good answer in 1860 (borders: US and Russia). But it was very difficult for Sporcle to have existed before Internet. And even so, in 1860 there would have been a lot of comments "Canada is not a country!"

	Fun quiz. The time was pretty short though. I did well the first minute and a half, then realised I only had 30 seconds left and over ten guesses left. So I just started some quick clicking without really thinking it through, with mixed results.

	@nvpacchi, I don't think this quiz is intended to contain all such countries, only a sampling.

	Technically, Uruguay borders just 1 country by land, it's border with Argentina it's a river.

	Nicaragua, nnrgh. The rest I got. This is one of the quizzes where they shouldn't just have stats on how many got each one right, but they should show which ones they guessed wrong and which ones they left blank.

	Is there a country Russia doesn't touch? Honestly.
