	Nice quiz. The Denmark one's a bit weird b/c Jutland is the English name for the peninsula (in Danish it's Jylland) while the other two are the local Danish names. Maybe you should also accept "Zealand" and "Funen" (the English names for the islands) as alternatives for "Sjaelland" and "Fyn".

	I think we should be made to answer them individually, as if you know one Portugal, you get the other. Also, you can guess one country for one question and you answer another. It's a bigger test that way, but might require more time added on. - Also, and I'll probably get marked down for this, but some of those questions were easy! Yes, some were hard, but not unbelievably hard. If this is the geography final I'm gonna enter them!

	@Joe: Problem is everything's completely random. When I was in middle school I was in the NYS Finals for the bee, and I got out on what I thought was a ridiculously hard question about soybean production. The guy after me was asked what city the Liberty Bell was in. It's all random, getting randomly harder as the questions progress.

	Oh, and can you accept Zealand for the Danish question, along with Sjaelland? Zealand is the English-language translation.

	Rom:	Dec 28th, 2009 at 23:32 GMT	0 points
	Ok, it's just annoying because there are like a million combinations when you do "Zealand and Sjaelland", "Zealand Sjaelland", "Sjaelland and Zealand", and "Sjaelland Zealand"

	As the winner of the Wisconsin state bee in 1990, these are still really stinkin' hard.
