	Really cool idea.

	Nice selection, but a minor quibble: Scandinavia is Norway, Sweden and Denmark. You could just change it to "Nordic Countries".

	JulieD:	Oct 2nd, 2009 at 01:18 GMT		7 points
	Odd. I got Vatican City and not Malta, but when I look at the overall results, it says I got Malta and not Vatican City.

	Antarctic Ocean as a bonus perhaps? (I've seen it referred to as a distinct ocean.) Maybe a tad on the easy side; I only missed 2 of the 4 Japanese islands. Like it though (maybe for that reason:).

	eurythmech:	Oct 2nd, 2009 at 05:59 GMT		3 points
	I agree that the "Scandinavia" bit needs to be changed. We all need to do our part in educating the masses in what constitutes Scandinavia.

	Fenno-scandinavia (and Iceland)

	Mortz:	Oct 2nd, 2009 at 06:23 GMT		1 point
	Really good quiz, but like it people have said you need to change to from Scandinavia to Nordic, maybe the time limit can be reduced a bit too.

	plujan:	Oct 2nd, 2009 at 06:30 GMT		4 points
	It looks like the answer percentages are screwed up -- this usually happens when you have a bonus answer which isn't at the end (you need to move it to the end for the percentages to work correctly). If only I were able to spell Bloemfontein, I could have gotten a perfect score!

	Niques:	Oct 2nd, 2009 at 07:55 GMT		0 points
	I third the Scandinavia comment. And apparently I can't spell Manhattan. That's a worry.

	Boomhauer:	Oct 2nd, 2009 at 08:24 GMT		-4 points
	As thos countries are Scandanaivian (according to most Geography textbooks and the atlas I have), no change needs to be made. A great quiz!

	swellwrench:	Oct 2nd, 2009 at 09:12 GMT		2 points
	There are generally considered to be five oceans these days - see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southern_Ocean And what are your criteria for "microstates?" Why Andorra, Liechtenstein and Malta but not Luxembourg, Cyprus, even Slovenia? Vatican, Monaco, and San Marino are all city-states, so the distinction is clear there, but otherwise that category seems kind of arbitrary. And yeah, the results page had problems for me too.

	Hey, I have this type of quiz for Astronomy, History, and Sports. They are not done yet, but you can view them and I will take suggestions for topics.

	buppyspek:	Oct 2nd, 2009 at 13:15 GMT		2 points
	Yeah, the results page is messed up. It says 0% got Bloemfontein (and that I didn't get it, even though I did), yet 5.6% of quiz takers got all the answers right. What gives, Sporcle? This was a fun quiz, though!

	jomigode:	Oct 2nd, 2009 at 13:55 GMT		2 points
	Good Quizz. Loved it

	The "antarctic" is the Southern Ocean, and apparently it's real.

	mustango:	Oct 2nd, 2009 at 16:30 GMT		2 points
	Perhaps "European countries under 200 square miles"?

	Millian:	Oct 2nd, 2009 at 16:46 GMT		7 points
	like the quiz. my only suggestion would be to cut down on the time just a tad. i got 33 and gave up with 7 minutes to spare.

	Jordan117:	Oct 2nd, 2009 at 17:34 GMT		2 points
	Yeah, there's something off with the percentages. I got Bloemfontein, for example, but the chart at the end says I missed it. Also, isn't Liechtenstein a microstate? Great quiz otherwise! Love the grab-bags.

	Matt999:	Oct 3rd, 2009 at 15:40 GMT		3 points
	Not sure Malta should qualify for this. Or at least microstates should be made clearer.

	GeoExpert:	Oct 3rd, 2009 at 16:29 GMT		2 points
	@above- Southern/Antarctic is a bonus, Scandinavian has become Nordic, and European Microstates has been made Smallest European Microstates due to the exclusion of Luxembourg can Cyprus

	Shotgunnova:	Oct 4th, 2009 at 04:10 GMT		0 points
	Good quiz...not that I'd know any of Japan's islands even with several moments of clarity. =P

	dodsface:	Oct 4th, 2009 at 12:31 GMT		1 point
	grant1314 iceland and luxembourg are not microstates! u need to do some more sporcling! Great quiz, maybe be a bit more specific with the hints, i was staring blankly at united kingdom for a while until i realised there were 4 boxes and 4 countries (political divisions)

	Roman:	Oct 4th, 2009 at 18:41 GMT		7 points
	Ok two things One specify which continent's great lakes. I assumed North America but there are also African great lakes, Albert, Kivu, Kyoga, Victoria, Malawi, Tanganyika as well as the North American versions and two I usually don't consider Malta as a "micro" state though it is a small island country... Just a thought...

	ugh...this game. Tigris..i was entering tiber..which would be near rome...fail.

	ChipTaco:	Oct 7th, 2009 at 17:12 GMT		1 point
	Good quiz. I'd reduce the time a bit.

	Catherine_F:	Oct 9th, 2009 at 15:27 GMT		2 points
	The microstates seem pretty obvious to me...they're the smallest ones. By quite a long way, as far as I can tell (Andorra is about a fifth the size of the next smallest, Luxembourg.)

	nyo:	Oct 11th, 2009 at 16:30 GMT		6 points
	I'd also like to add that San Marino is definitely not a city state.
