Good Quiz. How come 22.2 Percent have gotten all of them, yet 0 percent have gotten Bolivia? I think something's done wrong. It also says there's one bonus answer?

This is well done but there do seem to be technical errors on the Bolivia thing, and also the formatting breaks when I mention Denmark.

Yeah, there is a "glitch" in the system if you want to put bonus answers in quizzes like this that group answers (e.g., Asia 1, 2, 3, 4, 5; Europe 1, 2, 3, 4, 5; etc.). I don't know if the site owners know about this and/or have it on their "to do" list.

I want to thank you for all the effort you put into making this quiz detailed and basically error-free. Excellent work. I wish every quiz maker put as much time into their quizzes.

Great job! I love the inclusion of Oceania, that was funny to guess.

Great quiz. But isn't Oceania not a region rather than a continent? I know it's being pedantic as a quiz with the continent of Australia would be lacking for sure. Should be published though! And smallest countries sounds good also. 5 stars

Germany, as I've been told twelve million times in 101, is the size of Montana.

pbulkers - I just learned in the "countries of Oceania by capital" quiz that Indonesia isn't in Oceania, so I guess it's in Asia.

Part of Indonesia is in Oceania. The part that is in Oceania makes it slightly more than Papua New Guinea.

Indonesia's position in Oceania is highly debatable. The geographical line between Oceania and Asia is more of a blur of transition between the two. Several lines have been drawn but no universal conclusion has been achieved. It would make an interesting (though awkward) addition, possibly as a bonus answer like Denmark in North America. On a similar note, Hawaii (~28 000 sq.kms) is often considered part of Oceania, giving grounds to the USA being another bonus answer in the Oceania category.

@eleni - not really. Should Fji be accepted? Or maybe Pru or Cad? If you start allowing one incorrect spelling you'll never stop. "I spell Sweden SUEEDUN - that should be allowed" etc.

@Beej1221,Central America is part of North America. There are 7 continents, Central America is not one of them. I agree w/scuba steve there is a little too much time to just be randomly guessing countries as fast as you can.

Quite challenging at first, as I had to mentally scan the globe and try to sort through country size in my mind and group together what I thought was the biggest for each continent. After that though, it went quite fast. It's just the sorting out at first that takes the most time. Great quiz! And woo for bonus answer!
