	It should be "Toronto is located in which Canadian province". Ontario is a province, not a territory.

	^^ Same with Tasmania.

	When you refer to the "largest" or "smallest" country, it would be helpful to specify whether you're referring to populaton or geographic area.

	Cool quiz, but, to be precise, Iceland is not a part of Scandinavia. Geographically, Denmark isn´t a part of it either, though there seems to be some cultural consensus to include it.

	zmoney:	Nov 5th, 2009 at 05:22 GMT	30 points
	questions like "10th smallest" and "11th largest" are annoying. quiz would be better without them

	Biohazard:	Nov 5th, 2009 at 05:34 GMT	20 points
	I think questions as vague as "What small, European country has a population of roughly 1.8 million?" are not good questions.

	Laura :	Nov 5th, 2009 at 05:52 GMT	5 points
	You should accept just Gibraltar for Strait of Gibraltar. Cool quiz, but kristen58 was right, that wasn't enough time.

	Starstruck:	Nov 5th, 2009 at 06:17 GMT	8 points
	Nice quiz, but please try to get the "Scandinavia" thing sorted out - it consists of Sweden, Norway and Denmark. Not Finland and DEFINITELY not Iceland. These five together are called "Nordic Countries", which should be accepted.

	maniacalclown:	Nov 5th, 2009 at 06:40 GMT	4 points
	Strictly speaking, that's true about Scandinavia, but Finland and Iceland are commonly included in the English usage. You'll see it that way in a lot of English references. However, if you were to ask someone who actually lives there, they'd tell you that it's only Denmark, Norway, and Sweden.

	ghosty:	Nov 5th, 2009 at 06:46 GMT	17 points
	Actually Tasmania is state, not a province or territory. Please accept, "USA canada" and other variations for the border question. And, to be finicky, Solomon Islands should be capitalised :p

	Niques:	Nov 5th, 2009 at 07:11 GMT	12 points
	USA doesn't work for the "US Canada" question. And as has been said, Iceland is not part of Scandinavia and Tassie's a state, not a province.

	Niques:	Nov 5th, 2009 at 07:13 GMT	18 points
	Oh, and Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania were part of the USSR/Soviet Union. Not Russia.

	BluntDiplomat:	Nov 5th, 2009 at 08:11 GMT	15 points
	Yeah. Please don't confuse the USSR for Russia, as Russia was but a constituent republic of the USSR.

	Shotgunnova:	Nov 5th, 2009 at 09:20 GMT	-2 points
	Good quiz.

	dtro:	Nov 5th, 2009 at 12:15 GMT	17 points
	I found it a bit insulting to the intelligence of sporclers to refer to this as extremely difficult.

	Brobert2:	Nov 5th, 2009 at 12:21 GMT	12 points
	Quiz should be renamed "the mostly easy Geography Quiz to anyone with a diploma, plus a few actually hard questions and some questions that are factually wrong or inaccurate." Iceland is Scandinavia now? (You could add Finland and call them the Nordic Countries instead). And saying the "largest city in the world" is difficult because city populations vary from one source to another because each organization has a different definition of city (Some include only that city's legal definition of its borders, some include the greater metropolitan areas and so on).

	bigal4:	Nov 5th, 2009 at 13:09 GMT	9 points
	i really think 'Iberia' should count for 'Iberian'

	pottedstu:	Nov 5th, 2009 at 13:12 GMT	10 points
	"The Canary Islands are claimed by what country?" is misleading. They are part of Spain; Spain doesn't claim them.

	confused:	Nov 5th, 2009 at 13:17 GMT	6 points
	Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania were all part of the Russian Empire, won their independence (around the end of WWI, I think), and were later sucked into the USSR. So the question may be incomplete, but not incorrect. Also, it's amazing to me that more people were able to come up with the 4th largest this and the 17th smallest that, than could name the capital of the Solomon Islands. Time to retake that capitals quiz, sporclers!

	NCBerge:	Nov 5th, 2009 at 13:38 GMT	14 points
	Mali without question borders both Senegal and Guinea.

	Lyn_Marie:	Nov 5th, 2009 at 14:06 GMT	3 points
	I don't know about all the above mentioned errors, but once they're fixed, I think this is a really good mix of geographic trivia.

	atuggs:	Nov 5th, 2009 at 14:23 GMT	7 points
	Technically Mt. Kilimanjaro is in both Tanzania and Kenya.

	weizenugb:	Nov 5th, 2009 at 15:51 GMT	6 points
	This is a great quiz, though not "extremely difficult" as the title claims. Also, you should avoid questions that ask things like "what is the 10th smallest..." or "what is the 11th largest..." Nobody memorizes lists that far down, so you aren't recalling geographic trivia that you've learned, it only amounts to a guessing game. A good trivia question should never require amount to a guessing game.

	I wonder how many of these we all would have gotten before we started constantly playing sporcle

	JayHankEdLyon:	Nov 5th, 2009 at 16:16 GMT	1 point
	You really should clarify its difficulty as something for new folks (or take out the qualifier altogether) because I'm not especially good at geography by any means but have been imbued with enough Sporcle that this quiz was, for the most part, a cakewalk.

	sevorak:	Nov 5th, 2009 at 17:00 GMT	3 points
	Tokyo is not the largest city in the world. It is the largest metropolitan area, but Mumbai is the largest city proper. You need to clarify the question.

	eurythmech:	Nov 5th, 2009 at 18:13 GMT	-1 points
	I have no idea how this quiz is labelled anything but easy to medium. Half of these you'd have to be half retarded to not get. Including the United Kingdom one, which only 1/3 of contestants got.

	simpleerrors:	Nov 5th, 2009 at 18:49 GMT	-1 points
	Too much europe/north america. almost no south american/african/pacific references. whats USSE? Fix all the problems, and clean up some errors Nice idea, a quiz like this is hard to make And Eury, I'm surprised you didnt score more than 4 digits on the pi quiz. You seem to expect more than 1 in 3 sporcle users to know where Wales is, yet you dont even know the first couple digits of pi. This quiz could be hard for those who dont know geography, and that question seemed to be one of the more successful questions. I'd be congratulating the game maker and not insulting the players if I were you.

	bball37:	Nov 5th, 2009 at 18:58 GMT	2 points
	And... What is the "USSE????"

	aruss:	Nov 5th, 2009 at 19:24 GMT	2 points
	montana is definitely not a city

	Kryptos18:	Nov 5th, 2009 at 19:38 GMT	2 points
	I can't believe I couldn't spell Rio de Janeiro right... FAIL. On the other hand, I did know that Lake Baikal was the deepest lake in the world. Huzzah .05%ers!

	CSniker:	Nov 5th, 2009 at 20:56 GMT	3 points
	Capitalize "Solomon Islands", accept "Baikal" for Lake Baikal. Timing is fine. And for the love of Jeebus, change the name. This is by no means "Extremely Difficult"... and not because of lots of Sporcle experience. These are just easy questions except for the annoying questions about arbitrary listings of countries (10th biggest, etc.).

	skudrafan1:	Nov 5th, 2009 at 23:25 GMT	4 points
	I think "Horn" should be acceptable for "Horn of Africa".

	bsd987:	Nov 6th, 2009 at 01:43 GMT	-2 points
	Rio Bravo should be accepted for Rio Grande.

	ffi:	Nov 6th, 2009 at 01:49 GMT	2 points
	It's misleading to say that the US and Canada have the longest unguarded border in the world. First off, it is not patrolled by military, but law enforcement is most certainly present - it only has low numbers of guards when compared to the US-Mexico border. Also, it gets a major boost from the Alaska-Canada border, so it's really two separate borders, not one. When subtracting the 2475 km of Alaska border, the main US-Canada border falls below the one between Russia and Kazakhstan, which is most certainly less patrolled.

	The Vistula is really the least known?

	gracie:	Nov 6th, 2009 at 03:12 GMT	1 point
	i think you should have to guess the answers in order. there are a lot of answers that are countries/bodies of water, and you could accidentally type in one for one question that's the answer to another question.

	Berethorn:	Nov 6th, 2009 at 05:04 GMT	3 points
	Impressive quiz! I'm not sure why so few people are getting the largest lake question right though?
