	This was a nice fun one to make, though the numbers get pretty choppy and "estimatey" as the list goes on, hope you guys enjoy. There's six bonuses you can try and find too.

	You might consider dropping the time, perhaps as low as 5 minutes. Great quiz, nice bonuses!

	Glad you liked it. I considered dropping the time but I wasn't sure how low. I'll try 7 minutes.

	Please accept "United States."

	@Roxelana: I'm happy to read your comment that this quiz was fun to make. It was certainly fun to play. You get my top rating. By the way, it looks as if you and I are both newbies to sporcle, but I hope the veteran players and administrators catch and appreciate your bonus answer comments for that certain "K" country. wink

	Love the bonus answer, since i was done enough to enter it

	Why give so many answers with ranges of estimates when the Wikipedia source gives hard numbers?

	Roxelana:	Jan 7th, 2011 at 19:00 GMT	2 points
	@folio1701, Some of those numbers were accurate and some were old and not so much, and others were just broad estimates. I went to the individual articles of each population that had one and some other sites and found more up to date info. Also, some countries don't keep records as well as others, had a bad miscount, or can only make a broad estimates, so it's kinda hard to put concrete numbers on many of them.

	@Bombay Sapphire, Yeah I thought people would appreciate that lol, and I tried to hint at it too in the Russian bonus answer. Two of the bonuses are mandatory, two are informative and I know people will usually try at least one of them, and two are just for fun lol.

	Can places like Lithuania, Ukraine, and Belarus where Poles have lived for hundreds of years really count as part of a Polish "diaspora"?

	Roxelana:	Jan 7th, 2011 at 21:48 GMT	5 points
	@johnlk, That's a good point but it's defined by national boundaries as they are today. You could say the same about parts of alot of diasporas.

	dancastro:	Jan 8th, 2011 at 02:01 GMT	5 points
	There's a problem with this kind of statistics: it's hard to define who is a person of Polish (or German, or French, etc.) descent, especially in countries that received a large number of immigrants. If in Argentina a Rossi marries a Murphy, their children will be considered as of Italian descent by the Italian community, and of Irish descent by the Irish community. In short, the same person is counted twice or even more times if the nationality of the grandparents, etc., is considered.

	i tried "poland" just to see what would happen...

	Dralcoffin:	Nov 12th, 2011 at 21:11 GMT	2 points
	So how many Poles does it take to complete this quiz? Two! One to fill in the answers, and the other to call all his relatives and see where they wound up!

	RaspberrySwirl:	Nov 15th, 2011 at 18:52 GMT	1 point
	Fun quiz but the data is very unreliable. For instance, I find it hard to believe that there are more Poles in Iceland than say Belgium or Switzerland.
