Haven't included Cuba and USA as the land is under lease (whether validly or not) rather than being sovereign. As for Hans Island, I wasn't aware of it. However, as it's disputed and not actually set down, I'm a little unwilling to add it. Any thoughts?

Papua New Guinea is in Oceania, not Asia.

There are several islands shared between the US and Canada. Also, others listed here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_divided_islands

Papua New Guinea's been changed, thanks! The list of river and lake islands is very long - would it be best to focus on sea islands (losing Corocoro and the Russian island) or shall I add the many river and lake islands to the quiz? I'm torn on this.

France and Spain share the Pheasant island, on the bidasoa border river, since 1659. It's a condominion that each country administrates by alterning periods of six months. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pheasant_Island

Considering the ridiculously pleasant and cooperative nature of that particular arrangement, I think it should get a special mention as a bonus.

I’d support keeping it as sea islands, since otherwise it effectively ends up including most pairs of countries that share a river border. It’s a very nice length as it is.

Cool quiz and lots of fun, but given the percent of people getting all the answers and the fact that you've provided the continents, you could probably knock this down to 2-3 mins.

Underneath the King Fahd Causeway that joins Bahrain and Saudi Arabia is a man-made island that is split 50/50 between them.

Maybe Cyprus could be a bonus...

That river island in China/Russia came way out of left field, since they don't actually meet at the coast.

IloveSBSP Greenland is 100% in Denmark and 0% in Canada just because it's frozen over up there doesn't mean they share the same island
