	pleased to get Ecuador just as time was running out, after spending ages thinking who might have tiny island territories in the far south pacific...

	@dr_m - Er, the Galapagos Islands aren't in the far South Pacific.. They're located on and around the Equator.

	Aw, no Madagascar as a bonus?

	@ThurinEthir It didn't cross my mind, though it would be fun. I'll take it into consideration.

	Oddly bimodal.

	Antartica isn't a country

	Any quiz celebrating penguins automatically earns a 5/5.

	Having typed falkland islands, I really think I should have got the point

	I know the "continent" hint is on there, but I honestly didn't even notice that while taking the quiz. I had the wording "name the countries..." in my head from reading the quiz title, so I never bothered to try Antarctica. I agree that Antarctica should not be included with the given title.

	Yes. Just drop Antarctica. @bernerd. I think that was dr_m's point. After spending ages thinking about the south pacific, dr_m finally remembered that ecuador had penguins. It really is intuitively obvious that Ecuador is on the equator, no.

	Ecuador and Peru. I was guessing namibia, mozambique, and pacific island states. Got very desperate :/

	Don't drop Antarctica... it seems silly to not include the place most associated with penguins simply because it's not part of any country. I think the quiz is perfect as-is.

	So Alaska and Canada have no native penguins??

	Chipmunkdavis:	Apr 30th, 2010 at 12:15 GMT	4 points
	@midlifecrisis: No, penguins live in the south. The north has bears.
