	Another try with a new format. Hope this works for you. The locations seem to have shifted slightly... lets say they're approximate, shall we? Have fun!

	hellofromUK:	Nov 12th, 2010 at 16:41 GMT	9 points
	I'm always impressed by your creativity and technical skills, chewypoo, what a fun quiz! But on IE7, there seems to be an ongoing bug which means that large (wide) photos aren't displayed properly - everything east of Thailand has disappeared! I'll give this quiz a go later on Firefox.

	MrChewypoo:	Nov 12th, 2010 at 16:58 GMT	8 points
	Hmmm... I tested on IE8, Firefox and (ahem) Chrome, all was well. Didn't mean to cut off the world! I should fire my beta tester (wait, that's me). Thanks for the feedback!

	LinuxLinus:	Nov 12th, 2010 at 17:16 GMT	13 points
	This is a really clever idea, but it's not working all that well for me. I spent way too much time tracing my mouse right over the spot where I knew a place to be, only to have the clue come up for a split second, disappear, and never come back. I had this problem with Lisbon, Havana, and Ulaanbataar before I got frustrated and quit.

	MrChewypoo:	Nov 12th, 2010 at 17:24 GMT	2 points
	@Linux: Thanks! I've increased the size of the hotspots (but decreased the time a bit). Keep the feedback coming!

	I got Lusaka from guessing safari!

	Judging by the amount of people that got them all, perhaps cut back the time?

	backer:	Nov 12th, 2010 at 18:40 GMT	1 point
	I was so happy to find all the bonuses! And then so sad it wouldn't accept anything for #9. :(

	Phizzy:	Nov 12th, 2010 at 19:10 GMT	7 points
	Doesn't work correctly here on IE8. Everything is cut off east of Vietnam is cut off.

	theboeyinks2:	Nov 12th, 2010 at 20:45 GMT	2 points
	way cool, what did you accept for the shark bonus? I couldn't get it.

	MrChewypoo:	Nov 12th, 2010 at 20:50 GMT	5 points
	^ Boo-ums. @theboeyinks2: Oops! It's there now. Turns out I can't count! There are actually 11 bonus answers (one is a little tough to find)

	nymous:	Nov 12th, 2010 at 20:57 GMT	6 points
	MrChewypoo you're awesome.

	msk105:	Nov 12th, 2010 at 20:57 GMT	1 point
	Amazing idea! I actually liked that the exact spots were hard to find, as most of the capitals were fairly common. Loved the bonus answers, although #6 scared the heck out of me, when it first popped out!

	AdamBishop:	Nov 12th, 2010 at 21:04 GMT	3 points
	Neat! It takes some waving around with the mouse to find some of them. And I only got 3 bonuses...

	professor_beavis:	Nov 12th, 2010 at 21:20 GMT	2 points
	You could add tons of false answers to make it impractical to browse the answers through by pressing tab key.

	Spelvout:	Nov 12th, 2010 at 23:06 GMT	3 points
	Nice concept, but like most new things there's always bugs. You can scroll trough all the answers (and bonuses) by pressing your Tab-button. Not trying to cheat a great quiz here though, just wanting to help!

	Pit_trout:	Nov 12th, 2010 at 23:48 GMT	8 points
	Awesome quiz, as ever! I never did find Bishkek, but was able to guess that one :-) Was only momentarily confused on bonus 2/10 when it didn't accept Eyjafjallajökull…

	THEJMAN:	Nov 13th, 2010 at 01:03 GMT	2 points
	MrChewyPoo, how does one make the interactive map/picture thing?

	KansasJayhawk:	Nov 13th, 2010 at 03:29 GMT	0 points
	I found bonus 11, and spent most of my remaining time trying to figure out where the heck I found it.

	tommywarsaw:	Nov 13th, 2010 at 06:00 GMT	25 points
	The Gollum scared me when it popped up unexpectedly!

	quizzicle:	Nov 13th, 2010 at 06:11 GMT	-1 points
	who else found the penguin and camel?

	skittles:	Nov 13th, 2010 at 08:42 GMT	9 points
	Shrimp!? Shrimp!? Prawns, thank you very much. (And we don't barbecue them.)

	AutonomusPlebian:	Nov 13th, 2010 at 10:44 GMT	5 points
	Really good game, I found them all except Lusaka (which I had no idea where it was)

	anyaisthebest:	Nov 13th, 2010 at 13:50 GMT	3 points
	Works perfectly on Safari, takes a little while to load - worth it though! Would be nice to know what all the bonuses are. :)

	pennyfarthing2:	Nov 13th, 2010 at 15:23 GMT	2 points
	good game with different format but a few bugs - couldn't get some to come up at all

	comeontyrone2003:	Nov 13th, 2010 at 15:34 GMT	2 points
	What's Bonus #10 and #11? I can't find them and I've looked everywhere! (Well, obviously not everywhere or I would have found them but pretty much everywhere)

	Rhys:	Nov 13th, 2010 at 16:06 GMT	3 points
	Thank you Skittles you saved me from saying it :).

	joebobs:	Nov 13th, 2010 at 16:57 GMT	2 points
	Very fun quiz indeed! I hope to see some sequels. I couldn't find bonus 2 though! :( 5 globes.

	I love the idea of this, but I had a number of technical glitches which I checked on two different computers - mostly stated above, but also that the clue for Tokyo got stuck open so I couldn't read the clue that is for the city near that, as the Tokyo solution was open in front of it. Otherwise, great idea!

	5daughters:	Nov 13th, 2010 at 21:05 GMT	2 points
	Like others - so appreciated the idea/effort - but I couldn't get about half of the clues to come up - or else something would pop up for a split second, but I couldn't get it to return. The other problem I had was that I kept having to move the map up/down or left/right + move my screen - but this may be because I'm on a laptop. Great idea though!

	HuskerTan:	Nov 13th, 2010 at 21:59 GMT	3 points
	Very different and unique. And I say that in a very good manner!

	beforever:	Nov 14th, 2010 at 02:07 GMT	2 points
	1 (Boat), 2 (Volcano), 3 (Camel), 4 (Penguin), 5 (Bear), 6 (Gollum), 7 (Mickey Mouse), 8 (Llama), 9 (Shark).... and 11 (Peter Griffin) in the very top-right hand corner. I know #10 is in the UK, but I feel quite stupid in not knowing who that is. Can someone please reveal the answer to me? Am I missing some vital piece of cultural knowledge here?

	newenglander:	Nov 14th, 2010 at 02:22 GMT	8 points
	nice touch making sporcle the clue for kyrgyzstan's capital

	moley_15:	Nov 14th, 2010 at 09:23 GMT	3 points
	beforever: It's Freddie Mercury, the lead singer of the band Queen - making 'Queen' the bonus answer for the UK.

	beforever:	Nov 14th, 2010 at 15:39 GMT	2 points
	Ahh, thank you. I didn't recognize Mercury in that picture for some weird reason. I like that bonus.

	orinj:	Nov 14th, 2010 at 22:57 GMT	1 point
	Ulaanbaatar seems a little too far to the right

	Manitopiaaa:	Nov 16th, 2010 at 03:32 GMT	1 point
	Awesome quiz. Ulaanbaatar too far east, Brasilia too far north, Abuja too far north but nothing way out of place so kudos for a great quiz!
