	I got a mine by clicking on Kenya, but I think it's way bigger than Kiribati, Kosovo and Kuwait.

Comment below threshold: show it

	I agree on Kenya. Water should not count.

	Republic of the Congo isn't here

	Oman isn't here, and I'm having the same problem with Kenya.

	Another unnecessary and annoying use of a minefield quiz...especially since you made a mistake with the answers.

	Nailed by Kenya too, please fix!

	Sorry everybody! I messed up. What was I thinking? Kosovo over Kenya. @Chocolatl: Maybe it's bigger than Dominica, but it isn't in the Top 3 largest 'K' countries. @eon: Republic of Congo is listed as just Congo. @McBeergio: How is it unnecessary or annoying? Yeah, I've made mistakes, but I also came up with the idea. So don't tell me that this is unnecessary.

	I think quizzed like these should have three strikes, it's frustrating to have to start all over when you get one wrong, especially if you want to know the correct answer without guessing!

	One of the few Area quizzes where Algeria will be guessed over the US.

	@DRose, I realize it was your idea. It is actually a good idea, but the minefield ruins it. It serves no purpose other than racking up the play count for your game. That's why I said it was unnecessary and annoying.

	You should give us 3 lives.

	@spoyledbratt: That's not currently possible on Sporcle, but it would be useful.

	LinuxLinus:	Oct 2nd, 2012 at 12:34 GMT		10 points
	There is absolutely no reason for a quiz like this with so many answers to be a mine quiz.

	It's hard trying to size up countries that are so far apart (like Norway, Nigeria and my wrong guess of New Zealand.) Fun quiz and great idea, but I agree with others that this would be better if it wasn't mines.

	Nice quiz! Please get featured.

	I like the idea for this quiz, but I agree that wrong answers turn red would be a far better option than the current minefield. Also, for some reason, three countries are missing from the list: Barbados, Cyprus and the Republic of the Congo. And lastly, the position of Côte d'Ivoire in the alphabetical order is weird, it should just come after Costa Rica.

	TheBestDRose, You asked what is unnecessary and annoying about your quiz. The answer is your use of the minefield format. Yes, you did come up with an excellent idea for a quiz, and you deserve credit for that. But, your quiz is rated fairly poorly because you have consistently ignored your commentors. Five different (and well rated) posters have expressed their ill feelings toward the minefield format for this particular quiz, yet you still have not changed it. You are sacrificing ratings for more plays. All you have to do is un-check one box, and I'm sure this would get 5 globes from most of your players, and thus have an excellent chance of being published. So please, do yourself, and your players a favor, un-check the minefield box. Make sporcle a better place. Sincerly, Dr. Kenneth Noisewater

	Thank you, Dr. Noisewater, for your appreciation. Although I don't exactly support the idea, I'll change it anyway, because everybody is saying that this quiz shouldn't be a minefield. Also, I did not ignore my commentators, it's just that I barely check on my games.
