	76% correct? Rats...I was hoping to get a "B" on this quiz.

	I love geography quizzes, but these country quizzes centered on letters of the alphabet are getting old. I don't expect everyone to agree with me. Vote me down, that's fine. But I would like to see more creative country quizzes on the front page.

	@kekort2: Sporcle uses the unofficial, common name for quizzes like this. Which is "United Kingdom." There's no earthly way that a quiz like this would work if we were using official country names. RepuBlic of China, RepuBlic of Tunisia, Togolese RepuBlic, etc ... Instead of name "B" countries, you'd end up with "name most of the countries in the world." The rest of us (the ones voting down these comments) can't understand why so many of you can't comprehend this.

	You most likely know it as Myanmar, but it'll always be Burma to me!

	That B sound just can't hide! Great quiz.

	Does it count as 'Sporclitis B' if the only one I missed (despite the alphabetical order) was one that starts with B?

	@Scout: I climbed the highest mountains, plumbed the depths of the oceans, combed through all my files and found---you're right! The B sound just cannot hide.

	Can you accept rep congo for Republic of the Congo, since that abbreviation is used in other country quizzes.

	I second Xolotl123's comment. If 'DRC', 'CAR', etc. are accepted for the respective countries then not to accept 'Rep Congo' makes no sense. Also, on a personal note, how is it possible that the only two countries I missed BEGIN with B?! :/

	Serbia. Bah!

	First instinct: Kiribati. Yeah, I need to cut down on the Sporcling a tad.

	didn't get any of the top 5 most guessed but got the penultimate one. My brain has officially been sporcled.

	AKappy:	Nov 21st, 2012 at 14:37 GMT		3 points
	For the first 2 minutes, I thought it was only countries STARTING with "B," and I was confused how I could be missing so many.

	Is it weird the first one I got was Saudi Arabia?

	eddie_felson:	Nov 21st, 2012 at 16:43 GMT		9 points
	Always amazes me how many of the countries I end up missing I actually say in my head and skip right by. Yemen, nope, Oman, nope, UAE, nope, Saudi Arabia, nope. Double fail.

	I said to myself Bahrain and Bangladesh and didn't type them. LOL!

	osasunaitor:	Nov 21st, 2012 at 22:03 GMT		-3 points
	How can Belize be the 4th most guessed one? Come on Sporclers, what the kyrgyzstan is this site doing to us?

	cuatrodosocho:	Nov 21st, 2012 at 23:07 GMT		1 point
	My thought process: hmm... CAR... yep. DRC... yep. UAE... nope. facepalm

	Actually, it is Burma at this point in time. As far as I know, "Myanmar" was preferred by the military junta in power up until last year. It has now reverted back to Burma.

	I get that you can't include the full names of everything or you'd get too many countries ("Republic of ..."). But then that makes it weird that you do use and require the full official names of just a few.

	WeaselKing1000:	Nov 24th, 2012 at 10:12 GMT		1 point
	@blahedo Not so. I think you're referring to the two Congos in particular, yes? According to Sporcle standard usage those two countries' long-form and short-form names are one and the same (it has to be like that – theoretically each could be known as 'Congo', but then there wouldn't be a distinction between them). So it's not unreasonable to require the long-form names for those countries.

	@asdam Same place it's always been, not an independent country.
