	You should allow Republic of France.

	Did you ask psubball1 if you could take their idea and use it for your own quizzes? Clever color scheme, though.

	Jam1:	Mar 12th, 2010 at 19:53 GMT	1 point
	Please accept tricolour/tricolor for tricolore. And also Brazil and Suriname for bordering countries, as they border French Guiana (and Cayenne is probably the southernmost city.)

	I was about to say it, but I was polishing it. I didn't ask for the permission to psubball1. I acknowledge this quiz is inspired on his. I thought it was brilliant. If he doesn't allow me to use his idea I will delete it. jmarshallg: fixed. Jam1: fixed for the first thing. In the terms I said it was about the main country and Corsica, so Guiana isn't taken into acount. Can you give me more feedbacks about the time and the hardness?

	JeroAdmi:	Mar 12th, 2010 at 20:53 GMT	2 points
	I don't think that you have to change it into what Jam1 said, because then it's less fun. I hope that psubball1 'forgives' you, because how more countries there are done by this format, how better it is for the players. I don't think that that guy was going to do each country in the world. Great quiz, perfect balance between easy questions and hard ones. Time's good as well.

	Time seems pretty relaxed to me - I got stuck from limits of my knowledge with several mins to spare - but I think that suits this style of quiz well. Difficulty: generally great! though the nuclear reactors question - getting the _exact_ number - seems a much more esoteric bit of knowledge than the rest, and I think most people will get that by just guessing (as I did). Maybe "primary source of electricity" or something would make it more of a knowledge-type question? though still a somewhat guessable one, I suppose.

	Lake Geneva must be twice the size of Lake Bourget, you also need to accept Dunkirk and when I was typing in Andorra the 14th July was entered in the national day for some reason.

	Really enjoyed that, merci!

	ZeZapatiste:	Mar 13th, 2010 at 00:54 GMT	1 point
	bigturnip : Lake Geneva is easily ten times larger than Lake Bourget, but as it is not only in France I didn't take it in account. I will include it because it is more guessable than Lake Bourget. But in this way the longest river has to be the Rhine, since it is 300 km longer than Loire, even if it borders France only on 188 km, so this is not really accurate

	ZeZapatiste:	Mar 13th, 2010 at 01:04 GMT	1 point
	Also Dunkirk was a typo, all my apologies. I changed the number of nuclear reactors to accept answers with +/-10%. Triffid : Thank you. As it is my first proposal, everything is not really perfect !
