Main problem is how to deal with hong kong, as it is not a country. Regardless - you can't include Hong Kong and exclude Macau, they're either both in or both out. According to the source, Macau has longer life expectancy than UAE & Singapore. Other than that, good quiz.

Sporcle solution for the Hong Kong/Macau problem is to either accept "China" for both [which I wouldn't suggest] or to change the title to "Countries and Territories". Also, never a good idea to use a wiki as a source, but check what it uses as a source: it's probably a lot more credible [https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/fields/2102.html]

For the above information I thankyou. In the end I decided to remove Hong Kong/Macau altogether as by the sheer weight of the Chinese population (life expectancy 73.0) the average life expectancy would fall well under the top five. The link appears totally legit and as their link was an adobe download and your link (thankyou) was experiencing problems I'll stick with it for now.

It's a technicality, but #1 in South America should probably be France.
