	Thanks for playing my quiz! Please leave any comments or questions.

	Very good and well prepared e.g. not using the Z from Azerbaijan. One suggestion is to remove one of the Mozambique's

	@biggers: I would like to remove one of the Mozambiques, but I wanted this quiz to have twenty answers like the first one. The only other country that I could add would be Fiji, but I don't think "an F and a J" would stump anyone. Also, Mozambique is a bit of a joke to see if anyone got it the first time but not the second time (or vice versa).

	Best quiz I've played in ages. Really well done and much harder than I had imagined. I must have some form of dyslexia since I ran through countries in my head and went through Cape Verde, Burkina Faso & Tajikistan but somehow didn't see a correlation to any of the questions. D'oh!

	Shouldn't "United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland" count for F and K?

	@melissa: Sorry, I meant to specify in the instructions that I was only counting the common names. Almost every country has a longer official name (such as The Plurinational State of Bolivia or Great Socialist People's Libyan Arab Jamahiriya), but thankfully Sporcle only recognizes the short, more common names. I'll make the UK a bonus answer, since it's longer form is so well known.

	I liked the idea of having Mozambique in there twice. Once I got it the first time, I stopped looking for it again, so in my view it was a neat little trap.

	Great quiz! Somehow I find it far harder to do this than questions about initial letters.

	cuendillar:	Oct 15th, 2011 at 19:35 GMT	1 point
	Probably because here you have to look at the whole word, rather than just the first letter. I noticed the same thing when asked for "(cities that) ends with" in another quiz.

	Good quiz. I couldn't get beyond Quebec for the B and Q question, which wasted quite a bit of time.

	I kept looking for capitals too. It was frustrating. My mind kept going to Jerusalem for EJ, JS, JU. or Even Frankfort for FK. It's like a personal struggle just to think of countries with that going on.
