	What about Denmark b/c of Greenland???

	The Border the UK has with Ireland is an unbroken line. Greenland is a complete island so Denmarks only land border is with Germany which is also unbroken. Give an idea with this game, look at France on a map. It has its eastern borders and also a seperate border with Spain and Andorra.

	Do you (a) only consider landborders interrupted by the open sea, or (b) interrupted also by lakes, or (c) interrupted by any enclave/exclave? Option (b) doesn't make much sense to me, virtually any country will find 2 (small) lakes on its border somewhere. Going with option (a), I have a couple of issues. (1) Belgium is missing on the list - its border with the Netherlands around Zeeuws Vlaanderen is, I guess, the reason you included Netherlands on the list. (2) Italy shouldn't be on the list, its border with France/Switzerland/Austria/Slovenia is contiguous. (3) Uzbekistan shouldn't be on the list, it has one contiguous land border, only interrupted on one side by Lake Aral. (4) Ditto with Turkmenistan and the Caspian Sea (a lake!). (5) Bosnia and Herzegovina is missing. (6) Nicaragua is missing. (7) Honduras is doubly listed. (8) Iran shouldn't be there, the only sea it borders is the Persian Gulf/Indian Ocean - the Caspian Sea, again, is a lake.

	What about Japan, New Zealand, Philippines? And Angola doesn't have border split by water, but rather by another land country. This quiz doesn't make much sense with so many countries missing.

	Japan, New Zealand and Philipines dont have any land borders at all. The idea of this quiz was for a country's mainland border to be a broken line, so it has borders that do not connect - like those in France. Italy does have broken borders with the 2 enclave countries of San Marino and Vatican. I counted Iran as it has a northern shore of the Capian sea - ok a lake and its the only one like it. Bosnia, when i checked the map had an unbroken line. The idea is for the border that is NOT a continuous line. Easiest way to think of it, can a fence be contiuously built without any breaks for water along the nations borders.

	I was about to jump all over this quiz for not making any sense and being inconsistent, but after reading the comments, I understand now what was being asked for. BUT: 1)if Netherlands counts, then so should Belgium, 2)as said before, Honduras is listed twice and Nicaragua is missing-- perhaps the second Honduras was supposed to be Nicaragua? 3)Turkmenistan (and perhaps Uzbekistan) shouldn't count, if they do, so should any country with any coastline. I think more clarification in the directions would clear up a lot of the confusion here.

	I'd be interested to see how you can draw the land borders of Azerbaijan without lifting your pencil from the paper—the country is split into two pieces by Armenia. There's also the completely bizarre border between Belgium and the Netherlands at Baarle-Nassau and Baarle-Hertog. I'm sure there are other situations like this too. I don't understand why Turkmenistan is on here; even if you count the Caspian Sea as a sea rather than a lake, the land border of Turkmenistan seems to be continuous. I assume you've included the United Arab Emirates because of the little bit of Oman at the Strait of Hormuz, but if so then Oman should be included as well.

	One more: East Timor (i.e., Timor-Leste) should be included.

	You are also missing India/Bangladesh, both of which have about 100 exclaves each in the other country.
