	Great quiz! After running the continents quizzes a few times this becomes easier.

	Very nice. I like that this quiz takes the "guess as many countries as I can" element away.

	We should have a bordering US states one.

	Great quiz! But too much time to do it in. Been practicing the continent ones for ages now and finally managed the 'countries of the world' so that kinda made it easier. Why the on Earth are geography quizzes so damn fun?

	Booger:	Mar 19th, 2009 at 23:14 GMT	33 points
	It's often hard to gauge time limits, but it seems like 6 minutes might be a better time limit? If you agree, please vote this up.

	BigThing:	Mar 19th, 2009 at 23:16 GMT	1 point
	Yeah too much time, you can easily guess all the countries in direct vicinity, I'd scrape off at least 2 mins. Would also help along the intended trickiness where different continents are represented. But damn fun! Indeed the geography quizzes are madly addicting. I have sporcle to thank for reviving my long lost sense of world topography!

	Morocco also borders Western Sahara which they claim but has been in some sort of administrative limbo for about 30 years. I remember it appearing on the TV news in the UK when I was young but it's hardly ever mentioned these days. I don't claim to be an expert but I think Wikipedia covers it quite well.

	Love the geography quizzes.

	GoonerLover66:	Mar 20th, 2009 at 00:04 GMT	2 points
	Great idea for a quiz, I'm surprised that I knew the geography of all the places. Took a lot of time to ransack my brain for the answers though....

	Booger:	Mar 20th, 2009 at 00:04 GMT	10 points
	@Statto: The quiz specifies that only sovereign countries are included in the lists of bordering countries, hence, no Western Sahara.

	marpocky:	Mar 20th, 2009 at 00:07 GMT	7 points
	Technically, the Netherlands could be an answer to Belgium/France/Germany, if St. Maarten/Martin counts.

	Tough, tough quiz. It certainly made me think. I am going to have to learn where all the countries in the world are to conquer Sporcle :)

	Through some miracle I got 22/30.

	Brilliant quiz - but I ran out of time!

	nice quiz, i only missed three cuz of limited time

	jism:	Mar 20th, 2009 at 00:29 GMT	-4 points
	Ok. Maybe I missed something in the description that clarifies this. But Spain having a border with Algeria? There is a stretch of water between them, the Strait of Gibraltar.

	Nicktroptopolis:	Mar 20th, 2009 at 00:38 GMT	14 points
	I think spain has two autonomous cities, Ceuta and Mellila, that are actually part of continental africa but are still part of the country.

	Booger:	Mar 20th, 2009 at 00:45 GMT	13 points
	@ Nicktroptopolis: 1,000 bonus points for you! There are Spanish cities on the African continent (which border the country requested, not Algeria).

	Booger:	Mar 20th, 2009 at 01:05 GMT	11 points
	@Rom: Yes, but Zimbabwe also borders other countries, none of which are listed.
