	I hope you all enjoy the quiz. Any feedback is of course, as always, welcomed - especially with regard to the time and the difficulty (are there too many answers?). It is also difficult to squeeze detailed instructions into 200 characters so please let me know if anything is not clear.

	Interesting, but too hard for me :-( With about half or 2/3 as many sets of answers, it might be more manageable? Really nice concept, though!

	I like it a lot but it was too hard for me! I will need to practice then...

	Good idea, but it's too hard as it is. Especially when the variations in size are so close (e.g Slovakia is around 12% smaller than Croatia, but 19% larger than Switzerland, but you've put it in the Switzerland line.) Perhaps cut down the number of rows, hence highlighting the variation between country sizes.

	I have now changed the quiz to try to make it easier. It is not supposed to be easy, but it should be reasonably doabale. Results and comments showed that it wasn't. I have taken out 4 sets, and also changed some countries to reduce the spread within the sets. This has also reduced the "overlap" mentioned by hellofromUK. There are still some countries that overlap, i.e. they are less than 25% different than a country in another set. I don't think this is a problem though. It is not possible to form any other complete sets that meets the criteria.
