	To the lady or gentleman who always gives me a '1' immediately upon release of a quiz: while I understand your desire to correct my feeble attempts, I would appreciate an accompanying comment to aid me in bettering my future efforts. Regards, bamachile.

	Don't make wrong answers end the quiz.

	bamachile:	Aug 24th, 2011 at 20:12 GMT		3 points
	@metagloria: thanks for the response. I'll watch the comments - if it looks like fellow Sporclers don't want that option, I'll remove it. Again, thank you for speaking up.

	Hejman:	Aug 24th, 2011 at 21:29 GMT		8 points
	I'd have to agree. I'm not sure why it would be necessary to set it that way. It would be a much more enjoyable experience to be able to continue to guess through the list even if I get one wrong.

	bamachile:	Aug 25th, 2011 at 12:26 GMT		5 points
	I bow to the wishes of the Sporcling masses. Please continue with the quiz, even if you get one wrong. Or two, even. :)

	Hejman:	Aug 25th, 2011 at 16:48 GMT		6 points
	I hope you won't mind one more suggestion, bamachile. Why not display the correct answer when the quiz taker gets one wrong? It'll still show up in red. So for a question whose answer was Sweden, your wrong answer (bonus/ee) line would say Sweden/Switzerland in the middle column. Switzerland would trigger the wrong answer, but Sweden would appear in red.

	I don't mind at all. As a man of limited mental resources, I need all the suggestions I can get. I'll work on the wrong answer display - I had honestly never thought of that approach.

	Given the title, I can’t help wondering: nothing for Swaziland? :-P Lovely quiz!

	nightfloat:	Aug 26th, 2011 at 10:27 GMT		3 points
	Fun!! :)

	NotYou:	Aug 26th, 2011 at 12:50 GMT		6 points
	I'm glad you changed it so that wrong answers don't end the quiz, it's much more fun this way, and I appreciate that the correct answer displays when we get one wrong. I always find it really confusing when the wrong answer I just typed is still displayed. Also, I love your "etc." for Pippi Longstocking!

	bamachile:	Aug 26th, 2011 at 13:00 GMT		6 points
	@NotYou: Thanks, always glad to oblige. I find it amazing that Pippi Longstocking is almost twice as popular as Ursula Andress. Oh well, who can account for taste, right? @Hejman: Thanks for the Pick!

	You're welcome, bamachile. It's always frustrating when someone makes a good quiz but then ignores the feedback. Where someone watches their feedback, responds quickly to it and uses it to improve their quiz, well that's deserving of an Editor's Pick!

	i liked it, it was surprisingly hard, especially in the 2nd columm

	1/10 still associate vikings with Switzerland..

	There is no Sweden without IKEA.

	Zapata:	Dec 14th, 2011 at 07:50 GMT		1 point
	There is a bug here. I get 19 out of 20 correct each time, even though I answer all correctly. One time Einstein is said to be Swedish (he's not), the next time Vikings are said to be Swiss (they're not).

	Lingonberry jam is even better with meatballs and potatoes with gravy. :)
