	Spain has two cities by the names of Ceuta and Melilla on the north coast of Morocco. With very few differences, they are as integral parts of Spain as the "mainland" is.

	Kazakhstan could be an answer for Bhutan to Turkmenistan because it borders China and Turkmenistan.

	Thanks. I replaced it with one with a unique solution.

	Russia to Slovenia via Ukraine and AFGHANISTAN?? WTF?

	You must have loaded it while I was editing. The problem certainly isn't there anymore.

	Need to make clear in the note that you can fly from one part of a country to another without it counting against you. You cannot cross from the Kaliningrad Oblast to Kazakhstan without passing over other countries.

	Maybe accept "amexico" in "Canada to Colombia", for the sake of those of us who type "USA" quickly and get left with an "a" sitting there to trip us up?

	Good quiz, but I'm not sure Canada to Colombia is harder than the previous ones. It's more countries, but since they line up in a row, it's fairly easy to just name them down the line if you know them. For the rest you have to actually figure out what the route would be.

	How in the hell do you get from Poland to Russia without first going through Ukraine or Belarus?

	Poland borders Kaliningrad Oblast, a russian exclave.

	Actually, one can sail from Kaliningrad Oblast to the rest of Russia without crossing any land borders, but you have a point. I'll try to change the description.

	I thought this was a brilliant quiz. I've seen similar things done before but I think you've done it very well, made some excellent choices (e.g. including exclaves, which makes it more interesting). Personally, I thought that simply from being able to see the first and last country, it was obvious you were including exclaves (how else could one get form Denmark to Benin in 6 steps?), but it will help avoid arguments if you include the note.

	Excellent quiz, very entertaining. I'm waiting for a sequel.

	Love these. Keep it up!

	You may be able to shorten the Canada-to-Colombia by flying from St-Pierre-et-Miquelon to French Guyana.

	bumfish:	Nov 17th, 2010 at 20:16 GMT		2 points
	St Pierre & Miquelon is not part of France, although it belongs to it. And in any case, there is water between it and Canada. Great quiz by the way!
