	You can remove Timor Leste from the quiz, they changed their code to .tl a few years back. Otherwise, good quiz!

	Ek kaan praat Afrikaans and ek kennis dat die naam se South Africa se Afrikaans is Suid-Afrika nie Zuid Afrika nie. Also you should specifiy that these are tlds in the Roman script. In 2009, they approved codes in other scripts (cyrillic, thai,chinese, and arabic were used)

	great idea for a quiz! loved it. however, i'd suggest maybe making people guess the countries in order? it is a tought quiz already,but as it stands there is a quite a lot of time (especially if you only know a few for sure) and you can just start entering countries at random... that's how i got algeria and south africa for example.

	The .ma for Morocco can also come from the French name Maroc. And for Chad, I would say that it's more likely that the .td comes from the French name Tchad. That the Arabic name begins with a T is arguable, as it depends on the transliteration system you use. @Roman: you're right, the spelling Zuid-Afrika is Dutch, not Afrikaans (in Dutch "zuid" [south] is spelled with a z, as in Zuiderzee).

	Okay, made some changes to the explanations based on the comments here and removed Timor Leste from the quiz. Also shaved a minute off the time to prevent too much random guessing.
