Fantastic game. I think it would be nice if you didn't take up so much space with "alphabetically not far enough" or "alphabetically too far". It gets difficult to see what you actually have. I think even symbols would be acceptable, you'll get used to it in no time:
Turkey (Correct!)
> Iceland
> Ireland
> Romania
< Ukraine
< Vatican City

I agree with Endasil. This concept is great, and the quiz is lots of fun, but it does get hard to see and keep things organized. I think the symbols, as proposed, are a good idea but might be confusing for some. What about just removing the word "alphabetically", and making the font a little smaller?

I tend to agree with the above two comments. Overall though, spectacular idea for a quiz! Good stuff.

Haha I had seven seconds left and decided to save Europe for last (just arbitrarily) and I guessed it on my first try. ftw

Great quiz! Absolutely agreed with puckett86 and Endasil; something like Endasil's suggestion would be beautifully clear, with the symbols (or words) coming at the beginning of the line. As long as the instructions are clearly written, I think people will get the idea OK.

Is it possible to get the countries that are incorrect to come up alphabetically? It's hard to keep track they're in no particular ordek.

@GV243: Ecfibat? Maybe the word you meant is "efficebat"? I'm not so good at Latin. I should be, as I'm from Latin America (old joke).

great concept, I might suggest to use different colours to distinguish the too far's and not far enough's. Maybe even use a different colour when we're close to the answer, eg: the two closest countries alphabetically on both ends would be green or something.

Well done again, flick--surprised MYSELF by doing it in 2 minutes. As long as you keep doing this with categories that most people should know, you will keep getting good ratings and getting these moved to the front page, as I just noticed the first one.

One of the worst quizes I have ever seen on Sporcle. Everything is not far enough. Very bad.

I had so many guesses on Africa, eventually working out it was between Burundi and Cape Verde. Even then it took me a while to get it.

After trying this quiz 3 times over I finally got it in terms of understanding what this quiz is asking for. It turns out to be a good quiz once you understand how it works and hopefully more like this will be made. I feel that the description could be expanded upon, such as giving an example of a colour before RED, like BLUE to say that you have not gone far enough down the alphabet. Other than that, it's a good quiz.

Nice surprise for Asia. After typing in four or five countries and narrowing it down, I was thinking it was heading for familiar territory. Perhaps more surprising that I didn't type it first...

I can understand accepting the beginning portions of answers as a means of saving time, I found it more annoying than helpful. Aside from that, a good challenging quiz.

One formatting suggestion - could you put the "Far enough" and "Not far enough" in the hint column so they show up separately from the country's name?
