5 minutes for 10 answers? i think 2 is more than fair, plus it will keep people from getting into "guess every country i can name off" mode

Does anyone else think less time would be better? Willing to change it if necessary.

Man..Nigeria, Bangladesh and Pakistan are frightening. They don't have the land to support such massive populations..

I'm amazed Mexico isn't on here. They're 13th right now, but I would expect them to rise given birth rates.

Sporcle had quiz like this based off of the US census estimates right here http://www.sporcle.com/games/world_population_2050.php. Interesting how similar the results of both studies are.

I searched for a quiz like this before I made this one...don't know how I missed the one that Elbanana gave. At least mine isn't from the same source. I changed it to 3 minutes.

@ElDavo- the birthrates may be up, but they're all moving here to the US it seems.

Birthrates in Mexico have actually been going down since the 1970's.

Bangladesh is just a population disaster, it's so small, I can't even comprehend the nightmare of how crammed and poverty stricken it's going to get, especially considering it's already crammed and poverty stricken.

The subcontinent is an epic disaster waiting to happen. Overpopulation, poverty, nukes, Islamic fundamentalism, international tensions, etc.

"Good quiz. Think I'll move to the Falklands." Is that because of the projected sheep population in 2050?

I guess Ethiopia was a good random guess... Never would have guessed Bangladesh though.

Bangladesh is going to be in huge trouble in the next few years. There is no way a country that small can support such a massive population.

I always forget Bangladesh, despite watching the George Harrison concert. Mexico isn't on the list because they are contributing so many people to the US.
