@WackyZacky, Russia should only be on here once so you should remove one of them. Also, you misspelled North America in the hint clue. Another thing to consider is reformatting this into 'group answers with same hint'. Then your continents can be the headings and it may look better.

@LTH, I have changed the spelling of America- good spot :) Russia is now only in Asia. I tested the 'group answers with same hint' thing but it ruins the whole format I was going for because then I can't have No' of Earthquakes header. Thanks for the comment and thanks for spotting the mistakes :)

The Macedonia earthquake happened when the country was Yugoslavia. You should at least accept that as an answer in addition to Macedonia. Otherwise, good. (Since I got all the rest, and had tried Yugoslavia....)

i think it would have been more interesting to order the countries based on highest to lowest number, but this works too

I'm surprised Greece is not included.
