	It's not altogether clear from the source whether to include Cyprus and Uzbekistan as actual answers. I put 'em as bonuses in the meantime lest their flat out not being there should confuse somebody. Soz.

	So, how did you get from Egypt to Syria?

	The Mediterrean

	Zinger!

	But, honestly, borodino's right. If you look at the source, the next country after Egypt appears to be Syria (with the possible exceptions of Cyprus, hence the bonus, and Turkey, hence the "(approximate)" in my quiz description).

	Your source appears to be through air travel. Either make that specific or change the quiz to ground travel. I would suggest ground travel, because you could fly through any route. So if you go with ground travel, you best change the answers. This quiz was frustrating since I thought it was ground travel.

	You would have to go through China, since Mongolia doesn't actually border Kazakhstan.

	dmwolfe14: yeah, the path would have to be traveled by air. But as it says in the notes to the quiz, "Route is the shorter of the two possible paths along the great circle from Lagos to Ulan Bator." yellowcarpet: "Answers are arranged by (approximate) order in which one first encounters them in traveling the route." You're right that Mongolia doesn't border Kazakhstan. It goes Russia, Kazakhstan, Russia, Mongolia, hence the quiz ordering: Russia, Kazakhstan, Mongolia.
