	I'd love to know what countries 13% of quiz-takers thought bordered Grenada...

	Looking at the results, seems it's time for folks to bone up on their Central American geography a smidge.

	@ukblue72, I think it might be your math that's off? If 33% got 100% correct, than one can allow for up to 77% of people getting any one question incorrectly.

	great quiz, really like this format and hope to see the same thing done for Asia soon (a bit more challenging, I think). @Jeffhabfan: 67% seems more like the right percentage, or do you like to get a 110% out of everyone just like coaches.

	This quiz would have been a lot easier around 1820. Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua and Costa Rica were only provinces of a country named precisely "United Provinces of Central America". Therefore, Mexico bordered the UPCA and the UPCA bordered Greater Colombia (of which Panama was also a province). If anybody wondered why Nicaragua, etc., are tiny countries compared with other former Spanish colonies like Mexico or Peru, that's why. If the 14 historical provinces of Argentina had decided to split from each other, there would be also a lot of tiny countries in southern South America.

	Wouldn't Cuba border on the US (and vice versa), because of Guantanamo Bay?

	So why does it give me a wrong answer on "No Borders" when I hit islands? Then the next time it says "No Borders" I put the same island in and it works. Strange.

	it's really easy once you save all of the island countries for last

	This must be one of few quizzes that the small Caribbean islands have a higher percentage than Mexico.

	rockgolf: by the Cuban-American treaty of 1903, as modified by the treaty of 1934, the US has a long-term lease on Guantanamo Bay, rather than outright ownership of the land. Cuba retains ultimate sovereignty.

	@Lizn90 The quiz lists off ALL countries that border the country you are supposed to choose. Since Mexico borders more than just the USA, Canada is the correct answer if the only country mentioned is the US.

	@DrQuatsch, haha, I'd like to claim I made that math error as ironic humour, but in truth, my math was just ironically terrible.

	With some knowledge of which ones the islands are, a lot of the rest can be worked out like a logic puzzle. Great work.
