	Nice quiz and a lot of close answers. But I can't figure out the 7 timezones of Europe. As far as I know it's GMT to +2 or +3 GMT.

	Schele_Sjakie:	Oct 18th, 2011 at 11:35 GMT	4 points
	@ Hilco, oversea provinces etc. Like the dutch antilles or french guyana.

	Tobsodan:	Oct 18th, 2011 at 11:36 GMT	5 points
	As the European territory consists of areas outside Europe, the timezones are quite diverse. The continent (+UK) has timezones UTC, UTC+1, and UTC+2. However, Reunion, the Azores, French Guyana and Guadeloupe and Martinique are also integral parts of the EU territory. Therefore, the timezones UTC+4, UTC-1, UTC-3 and UTC-4 (respectively) are also added, making a total of 7. The contiguous US has four timezones, to which the Alaskan and Hawaiian timezones are added, making a total of 6. As stated in the game note, I am not counting dependent territories outside the states for the US, and am not counting the OCT's for the EU. In this way I think they are comparable in the best possible way.

	Tobsodan:	Oct 18th, 2011 at 11:40 GMT	4 points
	By the way, the Dutch antilles are, just to make it a bit more complicated, not an integral part of the EU territory. They currently have a status as Overseas Countries or Territories (OCT's) which makes them affiliated to, but not part of the EU. This is made very remarkable by the fact that due to a recent change of status, three island of the Dutch Antilles (Bonaire, Saba and St. Eustatius) have become integral parts of the Netherlands, but will in any case not become part of EU territory before 2014.

	Thanks! I've been waiting for a quiz like this for quite a while! Feel free to make another one with more comparisons!

	Kangrui:	Oct 18th, 2011 at 23:27 GMT	1 point
	Could you change "net migration rate" to, perhaps, "net immigration rate"? I thought you meant which had more people leaving, so I answered EU.

	Tobsodan:	Oct 19th, 2011 at 09:15 GMT	2 points
	@ Kangrui: I'm afraid I cannot. The net migration rate is the number of people moving into a country minus the number of people moving out, usually divided per 1000 inhabitants. If you were to call it an immigration rate, that would suggest not subtracting the emigration rate (although perhaps you could say that 'net' would imply this, but once you're talking about both emigration and immigration , you should really just use migration). Also I think it would be weird to not use the most commonly used terminology, especially when this is also used in my source.

	gowhere:	Dec 16th, 2011 at 21:24 GMT	3 points
	You will want to include an 'as of' date for this quiz. Many of the responses are likely to change either due to shifts in economic conditions or changes to the size of the EU.

	Tobsodan:	Dec 17th, 2011 at 16:46 GMT	2 points
	@ gowhere: I think if I would add the years for every bit of data here it might become a bit of a mess. How about I just keep it up to date with the source, so as soon as things change on the source and I (or someone who does the quiz and wants to comment) notice this I change it? In that way I will try and keep the quiz up to date, even with changes in economic conditions and size of the EU (although the latter will - normally - not happen for another 1,5 years, so I think that will not be a that much of a problem for now).

	A lot of these answers are not static. Better update this consistently.
