	This is my first try creating a game. I hope you like it. What do you think of the color scheme? Is 5 minutes about right?

	Good quiz. 5 minutes is maybe a bit too long. 3 minutes would be better in my opinion, for it would allow time for educated guesses, but not for too many random efforts.

	I agree with breizard. The problem with many of these geography quizzes is that people just type in the name of as many countries as possible. 3 or 4 minutes would help prevent that and would be a better test.

	Then shalt thou count to three, no more, no less. Three shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out.

	If Egypt doesn't produce very much gold, where the hell did they get all of it for those tombs?

	@Gansterls: I read in The Economist that the mines that generated all that Egyptian gold were basically tapped out in ancient times but that with new technology people are starting to look at them again. The mines are in the hills/mountains between the Nile and the Red Sea. With enough investment, Egypt could become a significant gold producer again, but it wasn't in the 2008 survey used here.

	If Mali is a leading gold producer, why are all those people living there so dang poor?
