	Sequel!

	Ahh, Sweden, with its phallus-shaped form. Love it.

	Why is Kyrgyzstan so low for a Sporcle quiz?

	Mimbleton:	Sep 20th, 2011 at 16:23 GMT		11 points
	Got the last two.

	Flick:	Sep 20th, 2011 at 16:23 GMT		55 points
	OMG KenJennings has only been on Sporcle for a couple of weeks and he's already caught Kyrgyzstanitis. ( We'd better not tell him there is NO known cure)

	@sargeanthr: they're the only two that look (almost) exactly the same, which is what makes them notable in the first place.

	Separated at Earth?

	@sargeanthr: They're the only two that are featureless rectangles.

	I sued Colorado! Because I think it looks a little too much like Wyoming!

	StupidBunny:	Sep 20th, 2011 at 17:07 GMT		37 points
	I was looking at a road map of Wyoming and I noticed that the border actually has two or three tiny kinks in it, meaning it's not a perfect rectangle. A little part of me died that day.

	This is one of the best book marketing ploys I've ever seen. You certainly know your audience!

	barnztormre:	Sep 20th, 2011 at 17:13 GMT		4 points
	Not to mention that Colorado and Wyoming border one another.

	I was SO happy when I found a twin for Kyrgyzstan. That's how I knew this was meant to be a Sporcle quiz. Thanks for playing, everybody.

	Come on, people. RULE FREAKING ONE on geography quizzes is AGK. Always. Guess. Kyrgyzstan.

	CaptPicard:	Sep 20th, 2011 at 17:28 GMT		8 points
	Great quiz, Ken!

	I stood on Maui and looked at Lanai for the last 10 days and still missed it... probably b/c it's the size of the Bronx.

	A fun quiz concept, though I do concede finding it a bit North American-centric, given the number of answers that related to US and Canadian geography. I'd be fascinated to see if someone could make a quiz along these lines, but with a more global approach.

	ikaros:	Sep 20th, 2011 at 17:53 GMT		4 points
	i lol'd when i read stupidbunny's comment. excellent quiz!

	Who knew (aside from Ken, naturally) that Kyrgyzstan and Hispaniola looked so alike?

	thewildboo:	Sep 20th, 2011 at 18:07 GMT		7 points
	aaaaaand now I know how to spell Hispaniola.

	@Flick: Ken's been playing Sporcle for more than a few weeks. His blog introduced me to Sporcle about 4 years ago.

	Ahhh! Curse that Kyrgyzstan!

	szillmer:	Sep 20th, 2011 at 18:45 GMT		5 points
	Nice, but it would be better if you could include offshore islands for places like British Columbia (Vancouver Island!) Sweden, Tanzania, California, and even Wisconsin (Door Peninsula is missing north of the ship canal).

	RobynAlice:	Sep 20th, 2011 at 18:46 GMT		5 points
	"Florida, the one on the east, California, the one on the west, and Colorado, the nice square one in the middle:)"

	I'm now wondering what alias Mr. Jennings used Sporcle under for the last 4 years, then. Maybe he rotated one letter and went as 'Ben'...

	Dralcoffin:	Sep 20th, 2011 at 18:52 GMT		4 points
	Is Colorado ever so slightly wider and thinner than Wyoming, or just my eyes tricking me?

	KenJennings:	Sep 20th, 2011 at 18:53 GMT		14 points
	@szillmer Yeah, guilty. I left off outlying islands (and even a bay of Lake Michigan in one case) partly so that each was a single shape, and partly to make the resemblances clearer.

	grover173:	Sep 20th, 2011 at 18:57 GMT		6 points
	I love the idea behind this quiz--very creative. And I never would have guessed SC's island twin in a million years. Bravo!

	Bobman1:	Sep 20th, 2011 at 19:10 GMT		12 points
	This was an awesome quiz, but there's a mistake. The last two states--clearly the answers are mixed up. I mean, it's just so obvious... right? It's right there in black and white and pixels don't lie.

	pgrossma:	Sep 20th, 2011 at 19:22 GMT		4 points
	can you accept Espanola (the Spanish name) for the island?

	steel03:	Sep 20th, 2011 at 20:07 GMT		1 point
	WTF why did I miss Sweden?

	adzaho31:	Sep 20th, 2011 at 20:23 GMT		10 points
	Tanzania bears a striking resemblance to Abe Lincoln.

	DonEscamillo:	Sep 20th, 2011 at 20:30 GMT		2 points
	Tanzania totally is a face in profile. Those British!

	koopa08:	Sep 20th, 2011 at 20:42 GMT		4 points
	Awesome quiz! I can't believe some of the similarities!

	googlebird:	Sep 20th, 2011 at 20:47 GMT		20 points
	I felt like I should be answering in the form of a question!
