I'm sorry, but the degrees sign(°) doesn't seem to work. If anyone knows why, please let me know.

Neat. You might try just using "d" instead of the degree symbol.

Brilliant quiz, even if it nearly turned out to be 'name the countries of Europe'

Would be more challenging forcing the answers in order, but great idea nonetheless.

I agree with forcing the answers. It's a little too easy the way it is.

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?

Based on the source, I think it's northernmost point. Denmark almost certainly wouldn't be no.1 if not for that

I had to check the map to believe it, but Liechtenstein and Switzerland were beat out by Hungary!

I thought there might be a tiny island in Japan that would put it on, but no!

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'.

@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.
