	Alaska has been messing with Texas for 50 years now. Only more than 2x the size of not so big Texas.

	Time lowered to 3 minutes. Please provide feedback if it's still too much.

	Uh, isn't this just Largest Countries phrased in a different way?

	You should change "Greenland" to "Denmark (Greenland)".

	good quiz, maybe you could do a sequel, like countries smaller than rhode island or countries smaller than alaska

	Why is Denmark a bonus answer? Greenland is part of Denmark, no questions asked, so it should be a regular answer.

	Yes, it's essentially a "largest countries" quiz, but so what? It's a novelty quiz.

	Awesome quiz! But oooo!!!! Denmark INC. Greenland got me once again!! Oh well, I just recommend on making the us or u.s. an alternate answer of your U.S.A.

	i definitely didn't even think of the usa, and i remember in 5th grade, someone tried to tell me that texas was bigger than alaska, i'm fairly certain that 12 years later, he STILL thinks that

	@sugarpill, it's not on here by virtue of being smaller than Alaska.

	i googled size of mongolia and found out that 1 its almost 200000 km smaller than alaska and Iran is bigger than it

	Wow. For someone who nitpicked on one single answer on my quiz and completely bashed it for that reason, you just made a "Largest Countries" quiz (as indicated by others above) and are pretending it is novel or unique.

	HollywoodLeo:	Nov 11th, 2010 at 16:51 GMT	2 points
	This quiz may be rather pointless but the information on it is still correct. I can't say the same thing about the portion of your quiz that I was nitpicking before you (finally) edited it.

	When you think about it, aren't ALL Sporcle quizzes pretty much "pointless?" It's all just for fun. Just saying.

	Sudan is not larger than Algeria anymore. I don't know whether it's still on the list or not, but at least it has to change position and information
