	Wow I find it very surprising to be told that Honduras and Belize are closer to Florida than is Haiti, even after looking at a couple of maps. It does look closer than I expected, but still, find it hard to accept.

	The point the quiz is using is Loggerhead Key, which is well to the west of Key West, making it slightly closer to Honduras and Belize than the tip of Haiti.
