	If you were to travel in a straight line from Reykjavik to Port Moresby could you name every country and body of water, in order, that you would pass thorough. If your not to good on your capitals type hint and I'll give you the first and last countries. The source shows the map I based the quiz on.

	Great quiz, I enjoyed it, got confused at the end as I couldn't think of the other countries you have to travel through, doh!

	Awesome quiz. Finished just in time, though I didn't know those last two seas.

	good quiz; sneaky with indonesia and papua new guinea twice, but tis true

	Onno:	Nov 13th, 2009 at 14:12 GMT	2 points
	I put in Papua for the last sea, maybe you could accept that, because I think the line goes through the Gulf of Papua, which is part of the Coral Sea.

	good point Onno, iv added it.

	Sort of cool that it actually hits Brunei. The angle Brunei makes up must be near negligible.

	Neat idea, I'd love to see more quizzes like this.

	Booger:	Nov 13th, 2009 at 17:35 GMT	5 points
	Fun idea, but there are serious problems with this. First, as the world is round, there are many "straight" lines one could take between these points. You should make clear that the path is the shortest path. But then comes the most serious problem. The data you list is not accurate as the shortest path. This is the danger of drawing a line on a flat map when the world is round. The shortest straight line on a globe from Reykjavik to Port Moresby actually takes you north of Scandanavia, through Russia, through Mongolia, through China over water to Port Moresby.

	@Booger: i understand that. but the point was that it was a straight line drawn on a map of the world, which i put as the source. i tried to include this in the title but there isnt enough room,and i cant edit my first comment so i guess i'll hav to leave it. i think the results page shows that the people that play this quiz get the idea of it anyway. but thanks for the comment ;)

	Great quiz, Neg!

	Good Quiz!! Can you accept Sulawesi for Celebes?

	mathboy0:	Nov 13th, 2009 at 23:57 GMT	1 point
	Great quiz. I don't think "Pacific" should be accepted for Celebes and Coral; you should know the names or just call them Pacific in the answer.

	Extremely cool quiz! Though like Neg, I think it'd be even cooler if you used a great circle (i.e. actual shortest path on globe) as the line - anything else depends on the choice of projection used, which is sort of arbitrary. Either way, though, loved it!
