I like the quiz, but if you're going to use that source, you can't use Denmark as the answer for Greenland. If you want to use Denmark as an answer, you must include the area of Denmark and the Faroe Islands. You'll find the other two as number 133 and 182 on the list.

@Nimerik: You are quite right. I've added Denmark, the Faroe Islands and Greenland together (Although that dosen't change its rank)

Teddy: On quizzes you must guess in order, the first answer should ALWAYS have 100.0% guessed, because the stats page only takes quizzes with at least one correct answer into consideration. Of course, changing the question or the order (or changing to forced order after contributing) could throw that off, but in theory, this should hold true.

I got blocked on Algeria: I typed it two or three times when it was supposed to show up (on #10) but it didn't work. So I thought it was another country and lost the remaining time trying to find out what country it could be cause of course the other countries didn't work neither when I tried. Is it a bug? Does anyone else had the same problem?

This cant be right. Greenland is much bigger than some of the prior nations, and the actual country isn't nearly that big.

The source (CIA World Factbook) lists the area of Sudan as 1,861,484 km2 rather than the 1,885,000 km2 shown in the quiz. Not sure whether those numbers reflect pre/post-partition (though I think South Sudan's area is much larger than the difference in those numbers). The lower number doesn't change Sudan's position in the rankings at all, but the admins may want to update it anyway.

@markgoode, dankeen 06 and everyone else Greenland is a part of Denmark as much as Alaska is to the United States and French Guiana is to France.

I got hooked up on Denmark as well - I'm glad it took Greenland, though. Also, yeah, my western perception makes everything in Africa look substantially smaller than what it actually is - I need to brush up on my African geography more, as near the end I was basically just typing in random African countries hoping to get it right.

Every time I play a quiz which has anything to do with largest countries, before I've even looked at the comments section I just know it's going to be full of complaints about the inclusion of Greenland as part of Denmark...
