	Since this is the most in absolute numbers, simply guessing the largest countries gives the most answers; maybe add a second set with the answers as highest percentage wise. Just a suggestion.

	the asterisk gives away two of the answers before the quiz even starts. I may not have guessed Russia and Turkey, but after seeing that, I assumed those are two of the answers.

	Well, the biggest countries get you some of the answers, but the interesting part is knowing, for example, that there are a lot of Hindus in Fiji.

	@thehammer1: Ok, I edited it to say "multicontinental countries." Still somewhat of a giveaway, but it's the best I could do. @carbon_rod adamnvillani is right; there are some interesting inferences you can make here, most of them dealing with colonization.

	Ahh, I always forget Mauritius. I tried Comoros, Seychelles and Madagascar before just skipping to mainland Africa. Good quiz.

	What's your source for this? The answer given for Islam in Africa is debatable (though not necessarily wrong) - some sources report Nigeria as having the largest Muslim population, but in the 2009 Pew Forum survey of the global Muslim population, Egypt just edges it by a few hundred thousand (http://pewforum.org/newassets/images/reports/Muslimpopulation/Muslimpopulation.pdf).

	There are about 15 million muslims in Russia, mostly in the european part. Turkish european population is less than 10 million.

	@XTOCb I thought about basing dividing Turkey and Russia into two parts, but I realized the data would be hard to find, less accurate, etc. So I just did number of total Muslims, Christians, etc. in the entire country.

	DiegoSanchez:	Mar 6th, 2011 at 15:13 GMT	2 points
	My previous comment needs to be rephrased: Turkey and Russia are considered to be in Europe for the purposes of this quiz.

	Please either use PERCENTAGE or GROSS.. this is confusing. But good quiz, so 5 stars.

	Good quiz, made all the better cause I got 100%!

	What is your source? different sources have different measures

	@Riko Mauritius is not mainland Africa either....

	Holadude19507:	Dec 23rd, 2011 at 02:46 GMT	1 point
	@hetisjeboy He's saying that he tried a bunch of island nations off of Africa, forgetting Mauritius.
