	Hey betraisefold- This was fun! I figured out what was going on, but maybe a few more instructions might be helpful.

	There's an extra space at the end of the 6 letter European country. Also I could have used more time, but I was a bit distracted so see what others think.

	Could you have a larger font? Very hard to see.

	Very clever quiz format. And very clever (but accurate) wording on the President and city sharing the same name. Could have used more time and agree with the comments asking for a larger font. I was initially irritated with the midpoints but looking at the results I now understand why they were there.

	Good challenging quiz. But am I the only one that had problem with the description for Somalia being an island country?

	tahitiwahini:	May 3rd, 2011 at 15:37 GMT	3 points
	@B_Train: LOL, you've uncovered an amusing flaw. If you try Somalia for the answer to island country (and why would you do that anyway?) the answer is accepted (inadvertently) for the next question which asks for a country meeting the same pattern in Africa. And because you never answer the island country question you never get to see the African country question. Make sense now? I suspect it never occurred to betraisefold that someone would answer Somalia for the island question. It's a way of short-circuiting the 7-PLACES part of the quiz.

	I completed this quiz just by typing "x letter midpoint" and "x letter complete"

	Thanks for the feedback everyone. i have added another minute and increased the font size. @B_Train, tahitiwahini: I definitely didn't anticipate anyone guessing Somalia for the island country, I suppose I could have Jamaica lead to Jakarta but they share 4 letters which sort of ruins the consistency. I'll look for a better option. gg323: That doesn't sound like a very fun way to play.

	What is the answer to the last question on the 9-letter word?

	tahitiwahini:	May 4th, 2011 at 19:49 GMT	1 point
	@Rocketeer: the asterisk indicates it's a two-word answer. An additional hint is that the pattern "ari" is split between the two words. Here's the answer to your question: http://bit.ly/mScUb
