	Great idea and execution! (Special thanks for not making it a minefield.)

	Nice. Having both Sudan and South Sudan there, and one of them a wrong answer, is particularly good.

	Haha... anyone else want to join me in the "didn't guess the country with central in its name on a landlocked quiz" club?

	Okay, so who knew Madagascar was an island!?!? Next thing you'll tell me is that South Africa has exposure on two different oceans! Poppycock! Great quiz.

	I always picture Ethiopia as having a border to water, and I'm always wrong. Great quiz

	@MaxMallanite - only if you join my "Ivory COAST" might be landlocked club.

	It would be great as a minefield. Also it would be good to know the most frequent wrong answers. Excellent quiz tho

	The problem with this sort of game is that there is a bias introduced for the least guessed answers because most people will go through it in order and if they make one mistake they will never be able to get the last one, in this case Zimbabwe, which I assume most people do know is landlocked, but which ends up near the bottom of the list as a result. Otherwise great quiz.

	@Vespinito: I personally am less orderly when I take Sporcle quizzes, and I look at them in no particular order. However, I do wish that you could have more guesses, so if you get one wrong, that doesn't necessarily mean you can't finish off the quiz.

	this would be much easier if it were a clickable map

	Niques:	Apr 24th, 2012 at 12:13 GMT		2 points
	Aww, I thought from the description that we'd get to click a map :P Enjoyable quiz!

	Great, great quiz! I got them all until there was one left, and then spent possibly an entire minute with my eyes closed looking highly constipated trying to visualize a map and decide between the DRC and Mali before realizing that it wasn't a minefield! Geez, I act like Sporcle minefields are real ones!

	If you guessed CAPE Verde, give your head a shake.

	Thought that Central African Republic would've been most guessed, clue's in the name :)

	Lesotho isn't just landlocked, it's South Africa-locked.

	I recently read an interesting article about Ethiopia's border war with Eritrea, but still didn't remember that the result didn't give Ethiopia any seaports: http://opinionator.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/03/27/war-over-a-one-horse-town/

	This is more difficult than I thought it would be..great quiz!

	Concurrence wiuth my Cardinal friend up-top in offering thanks for avoiding the minefield construct. Yet I wish the quiz had not revealed the 3 answers that I missed after spending my guesses. I was looking forward to trying this again. Four star quiz, nonetheless.

	São Tomé and Príncipe is listed after the other S nations rather than in alphabetical order, presumably because of the tilde.

	drc is landlocked

	@tconn. DRC is not landlocked. There's a bit of Atlantic coast between 'mainland' Angola and its exclave Cabinda.

	Upon debate of if the DRC was landlocked, I decided to take a look at Google Maps. Apparently in that tiny stretch of ocean, there is a seaport called Banana. And all of us that got it right have gone "Bananas." For once it's not a bad thing.
