	Argh, blasted Iceland!! Awesome quiz :-)

Comment below threshold: show it

	jnhickson:	Mar 21st, 2010 at 22:35 GMT	14 points
	Brilliant quiz, even if it nearly turned out to be 'name the countries of Europe'

	adamnvillani:	Apr 27th, 2010 at 02:16 GMT	5 points
	Argh... I got everything except Iceland, remembering it just as time ran out.

	Craig_Hodges:	Apr 27th, 2010 at 13:49 GMT	16 points
	Would be more challenging forcing the answers in order, but great idea nonetheless.

	sbelkoski:	Apr 27th, 2010 at 15:21 GMT	1 point
	I agree with forcing the answers. It's a little too easy the way it is.

	Gumpster:	Apr 27th, 2010 at 19:05 GMT	2 points
	@adamnvillani: Sorry i reported you!!! I clicked the wrong button by mistake, I was just trying to sympathize with missing Iceland!!! My bad!!!

	Liechtenstein?

	sportsguyluke:	Apr 27th, 2010 at 19:41 GMT	0 points
	fun quiz. i felt a bit uneasy about some of the answers, especially because i dont consider romania a northern country (it's in the southern half of europe). but looking at a map, it's accurate. but finland is clearly more north on a map than sweden. i also agree with answering in order. if those are changed, i would definitely nominate it.

	is the point that you measure from the northernmost tip of the country? or from the middle or something?

	Jay_C:	Apr 27th, 2010 at 21:52 GMT	6 points
	Based on the source, I think it's northernmost point. Denmark almost certainly wouldn't be no.1 if not for that

	phildm:	Apr 28th, 2010 at 02:18 GMT	0 points
	I thought there was too much time...

	e4e5Nf3:	Apr 28th, 2010 at 02:44 GMT	3 points
	I had to check the map to believe it, but Liechtenstein and Switzerland were beat out by Hungary!

	Apollo846:	Apr 28th, 2010 at 05:08 GMT	3 points
	China was actually the one that really threw me off ironically...

	phibbyfan:	Apr 28th, 2010 at 08:35 GMT	3 points
	I thought there might be a tiny island in Japan that would put it on, but no!

	Enydon_A:	Apr 29th, 2010 at 04:34 GMT	1 point
	Awesome quiz! China got me, too.

	Iamalsothat:	Apr 29th, 2010 at 07:55 GMT	4 points
	You guys must not have been to china in the winter... I had to wear 5 layers a skimask and 3 layers of pants... at all times... and I ski in vermont wearing 3 layers.. its freezing and thats just in Beijing it has manchuria in the north :'( (While on the Great wall--north of beijing the tears in my eyes froze and I had crystals on my lashes) china was my first country.

	For the degree sign, try a superscripted 'o'.

	isomanatees:	May 1st, 2010 at 03:41 GMT	2 points
	I missed the United States. I am so embarrassed.

	gowhere:	Oct 4th, 2010 at 17:24 GMT	2 points
	@Iamalsothat: While temperature is an indicator, it is only that. After all, it gets awfully cold in Tierra del Fuego! But more seriously, altitude and distance from the ocean are also causes of lower temperatures. I am sure that the Netherlands is far warmer than Kyrgyzstan in the winter, and it didn't make the lsit.

	Denmark should be included....it is geographically north of Germany, France, Austria etc.
