	Well after 6 months of sporcle, I've finally learned to spell "Kyrgyzstan" on the first try.

	boy did that alphabetical countries one pay off

	You might want to consider having a duel answer for "I" with Ivory Coast, or a bonus answer at least.

	Thanks to games like these, I'll never get dementia...another great quiz from sporcle!

	Terrific game! At first I thought I'd never get more than a few with only 6 minutes but it was just enough time to be challenging.

	Wow. Great Quiz, but, get ready to vote me down- needs more time.

	Bleh I only got 11. For taking so many of these geography quizzes, I can never seem to remember how to spell Kyrgyzstan or Luxembourg. And Tuvalu just stumped me.

	Fantastic quiz and a great idea. Well done! Not trying to be a jerk, just wondering: In terms of Myanmar vs. Burma, how does that work out? I can't ever remember which is the official name for it.

	I'm pretty ashamed of myself. It took me until 0:04 left to get Kyrgyzstan... my favorite Sporcle country!

	Sweet Quiz. Cant Believe Theres no countries for w + x!

	@FliryVorru: The country made an official declaration in 1989 that its English translation was to be "Myanmar", but not all countries have recognized that declaration, and some still officially refer to it as Burma.

	why is it that the Dominican Republic is the least guessed when there are only like three countries that start with D to guess?

	@Quinntertainer: ??? The country in question actually goes by Myanma but allows the final R for its Latin alphabet transliteration.

	Factoid #1: In terms of geography, there are several pairs of neighboring countries among the answers. The B and R countries are neighbors; the J and S countries are neighbors; and the K and U countries are neighbors. Additionally, the F, I and L countries form a chain. Factoid #2: The O, Q and Y countries are also the first countries alphabetically.

	Wow, so many times I thought for sure I had the alphabetically last country, only to be surprised when it didn't work. Cuba? No… Oh! Cyprus! NO?! Guatemala isn't right? Kuwait doesn't work either? Sweden? No, of course not, it's Switzerland. What?!

	cottb128:	Oct 20th, 2009 at 06:48 GMT	21 points
	Alright Kyrgyzstan, that's the final straw. I have had ENOUGH of you.

	@FliryVoru: Within Burma/Myanmar, the name `Burma' is used in informal contexts and `Myanmar' in formal contexts. The military government changed the official name of the country from Burma to Myanmar but many countries continue to use the old name because they believe that the illegitimate government has no right to change the name of the country.

	@BamaRainbow: The final R isn't just `allowed' — it's the standard Romanization. The UN lets its member countries (apart from Macedonia) call themselves whatever they want and that country chose `Myanmar', with the R. http://www.un.org/en/members/index.shtml

	When doing the alphabetical countries quiz I find it easier to start at the end and work backwards, so this one was quite straightforward in my odd mind. Good quiz :)

	AdmiralMaxtreme:	Oct 20th, 2009 at 12:09 GMT	8 points
	Now that this quiz is published, can you change the "countrys" to "countries" please?

	Charles:	Oct 20th, 2009 at 12:17 GMT	2 points
	Great quiz! I agree with Frogodo that Ivory Coast should at least be a bonus answer.

	LavaGirl:	Oct 20th, 2009 at 13:08 GMT	15 points
	The official name for Ivory Coast is Cote d'Ivoire. On the otherhand forgot about Italy face palm

	@KallieGrace: There are actually 4 countries starting with D, 5 if you count The DRC. :)
