	Sorry about that. I changed it to "containing" instead of "with".

	Darn - forgot Jordan. Great quiz idea!

	Great quiz! I kept thinking of countries with a "g" pronounced like a "j" (Nigeria, Algeria...), getting momentarily excited, and then deflated. :)

	You know you are on Sporcle too much when the only ones you miss are Japan and Jamaica

	I think I was focusing too much on countries where a J is not the first letter...I missed Jordan and Jamaica. :X

	Great quiz, though can't believe I missed Jordan. Also, how about adding Libyan Arab Jamahiriya as a bonus?

	Great quiz, could have used an extra 30 seconds, but still fun.

	Hahaha, I forgot Japan. It seems like for these quizzes I always overlook the most commonly known ones...

	cwmacdon:	Oct 2nd, 2009 at 05:26 GMT		6 points
	Sadly you can only do 1 minute intervals, and 3 minutes seemed like it was too much

	Azerbaijan and Tajikistan are more well known than Fiji? Only on sporcle!

	I find it interesting how geographically varied that list is. The only region not really represented is Europe.

	I tend to over think on stuff like this and miss obvious stuff...like Japan.

	Brooklyn_Girl:	Oct 2nd, 2009 at 06:16 GMT		5 points
	I remembered Azerbaijan but forgot Japan.

	micah:	Oct 2nd, 2009 at 06:36 GMT		21 points
	I kept thinking of places that aren't entire countries with Js in them: Jakarta, Java, Fallujah...

	Ecto2:	Oct 2nd, 2009 at 06:47 GMT		2 points
	wow i cant believe i know this much about the j countries

	Oru:	Oct 2nd, 2009 at 07:08 GMT		2 points
	been a while since i got 100% on a quiz

	GeordieGordie:	Oct 2nd, 2009 at 07:55 GMT		-1 points
	Great quiz- quite hard,challenging time, I got 5/7.Well done

	Guinevere:	Oct 2nd, 2009 at 08:18 GMT		2 points
	@micah - I was doing the same thing - thinking of cities and them going "d'oh!" Jerusalem, Jakarta - yeah, those don't really help. I got 5/7, managed to miss Japan (duh) and Fiji. I will confess I sat there and thought about it for a minute or two before starting the quiz, which I guess is technically cheating. Fun quiz, though - I'd love to see these for any uncommon letter (is there a z one already? I can't remember....)

	Thanks to Sporcle I can now run through the countries north west to south east in just over 2 minutes, so I just got Japan, but missed Fiji

	I took the wife to the Caribbean last year. Jamaica? No she wanted to go!

	LIke it!! Can't believe I missed the two in Central Asia - kind of mentally scanned passed the whole area and became fixated on Africa for some reason! Should get 100% next time tho ;o)

	iurewhiuerw:	Oct 2nd, 2009 at 10:37 GMT		5 points
	oh dear. how could I miss Japan!?!?!? great quiz tho!

	Rzeziol:	Oct 2nd, 2009 at 11:03 GMT		4 points
	Missed Jordan, Azerbaijan and Fiji. It was quite hard because in Polish we pronounce "j" as "y".

	Catherine_F:	Oct 2nd, 2009 at 11:22 GMT		4 points
	The countries I got came up in alphabetical order, so I was trying to guess things in between Japan and Jordan, when there are none. I should really stop relying on the alphabetical thing!

	I missed Tajikistan... but I'm wondering why more people got that than Fiji...? And always always always when in doubt-go with Djibouti! =]

	Tapestry:	Oct 2nd, 2009 at 12:08 GMT		2 points
	so I could only think of one and it wasn't Japan...ack!!

	hvdm: Tajikistan is actually very nice. I went there as a teenager and the friendliest people i've ever met were Tajik's.
