	Pretty easy. Also, do these peninsulas really have such defined borders that you can definitively say which countries are in them or not?

	Chipmunkdavis:	Jun 22nd, 2010 at 12:12 GMT		1 point
	Sources often had different countries for each peninsula, so I used the bonuses to try to be inclusive of all definitions. For example, the Arabian peninsula can or cannot include jordan and iraq depending on where you draw the line. In addition, places like Bahrain and Singapore are debatable.

	Given your spirit of inclusiveness, Turkey should at the very least be a bonus answer for Balkan, no?

	Chipmunkdavis:	Jun 22nd, 2010 at 13:57 GMT		0 points
	That shouldn't even require a spirit of inclusiveness. You're completely right, I've added it in as a full answer, as part of Turkey is definitely on the Balkans and it is a full answer to be consistent with having Finland on the list. Thank you very much.

	It took me a few seconds to realize why the UK was on the Iberian peninsula.

	Is there a particular reason you don't include Slovenia as part of the Balkan peninsula? It's usually considered to be a Balkan nation, but I guess that has more to do with culture and demographics than with geography?

	Sources conflict, some say the Balkans go all the way to Trieste, Italy, some limit is to Croatia. Slovenia was part of Yugoslavia, which was a Balkan Country, so I think that it is usually considered fully Balkan because of you. Added it in as a bonus.

	When I saw the title "Peninsula" I thought that all countries located on a peninsula would be there. The two Koreas for example. If it was not too easy, I'd recommend "Korean Peninsula" to add too. Of course, the peninsulas of the world are not limited to those above, but most of them are a part of the country (e.g. Kamchatka etc.) but for instance Turkey is different on this regard. The European part of Turkey is on the Balkan peninsula, but the rest of it is also on another peninsula. Anatolia, or Asia Minor. I think India would have been here too, let's face it, the Subcontinent IS a peninsula, but having just one country on it might prevent it from being here (It can have 6 bonuses though)

	I didn't put the Korean peninsula because I thought that it would be, well, much too easy. However, if people like your comment enough, I'll try to find another name for the Indian peninsula and add that. Right now what I'm most worried about is the time. Seems from the results it could be a bit shorter. Thoughts?

	The time is fine...possibly a minute too long, but I think that's debatable. I loved this quiz. I hope it gets published soon.

	Decent quiz, lop a minute off it and itd be good.

	THANK YOU for allowing just "Bosnia" as an answer instead of having to type out the entirety of "Bosnia and Hercegovina", especially since almost nobody says the "and Hercegovina" part. (Almost nobody says the "of America" part of USA, either.)

	Good quiz! I'd say 2 minutes would be best. Also, I've seen some sources which quote parts of France as on the Iberian peninsula, since little bits stick past what one could call the boundary. With the Arabian peninsula, it depends where your cut off point is, but you could include Iraq and Jordan. Also, China and Bangladesh for Indochinese, at least as bonuses.
