	Only 13! I think my brain has gone South!

	Great selection here. I especially liked Switzerland, with its German-named northernmost point and Italian-named southernmost point. And Belgium. "Luxembourg...Luxembourg... yeah, I spelled that right, wtf, you TOLD me the answer! Oh wait. Isn't Antwerp in... ohhhhhhh"

	Grrrr: on "Reqqa Point, Gozo/Filfla Island" I tried every Semitic-speaking country I could think of... except the one it was. Great quiz!

	Great quiz! really good reminder of why sporcle is where its at

	Frederik_M:	Apr 26th, 2011 at 12:19 GMT		2 points
	I'm from Belgium and it's actually Meersel-Dreef instead of just Dreef, but very fun quiz!

	As far as I know, shima means 'island' in Japanese, so it should be either Okinotorishima or Okinotori Island. Okino Torishima Island is like saying Rio Grande River. (I've always wondered why some Japanese cities like Hiroshima or Fukushima contain 'island' in their names. After all, everything in Japan is on an island).

	wow i'd say about all but 3 were lucky guesses. great quiz!

	Trinidad isn't in Trinidad and Tobago? I feel betrayed. Great quiz though - just the right range, from some fairly straightforward to some insanely difficult.

	amusing to see the vatican and its vast expanses included, great quiz

	Nice selections. Great quiz!

	The Malta one is impossible. Nicaragua I only got after trying every single other Spanish-speaking country.

	Iceland's northern point looks like someone pressed a bunch of random keys at the same time.

	QuizKingJon:	Apr 26th, 2011 at 22:36 GMT		2 points
	Malta isn't impossible if you've been there... knew I had head of Gozo, but took a while to realise it is the other island of Malta.

	I started off on a roll, but then everything headed SOUTH when I just kept guessing Argentina.

	Ah Tenerife... site of the worst accident in the history of aviation

	I saw "Eyja-seemingly-random-keysmash-of-letters" and I was like "Ha, gotta be Iceland."

	grita6689:	Apr 27th, 2011 at 02:05 GMT		1 point
	I completely guessed on Nicaragua, second try.

	@Everava: there are some place names in other European countries that also look like a random keysmash of letters. Think of Bydgoszcz (Poland) or some Czech names formed by consonants without any vowel. What really makes Eyjafjarðarsýsla an Icelandic word is the letter eth (ð).

	It's amazing how far a combination of skimming national geographic and linguistic fraud can get you...

	If my version of Google Earth is to be believed, Cape Columbia is under water. That would make Ward Hunt Island the most northerly location in the country. Although the distance between the two points (north/south distance) is less than the length of Liechtenstein so the point might just be slightly misplaced.

	Shouldn't the 'southerly point' of the first one be 'Gibraltar', as it's also part of the UK?

	mike5816:	May 10th, 2011 at 01:38 GMT		2 points
	Yes, if you're going to list Palmyra Atoll as the southernmost point in the United States, then you should at least include the South Sandwich Islands in the United Kingdom... And if you're going to list a territory/possession like Palmyra Atoll, then the real southermost point of land in the United States is in American Samoa (unless of course, you want to count the Amundsen-Scott Station at the South Pole!)
