	Excellent quiz - possibly a better explanation for those who don't know what an antipodal point is (I only learnt it a few days ago!) but makes you think and those pacific islands in particular are really awkward! Great idea, 5 orbs :)

	Nice quiz! Maybe you can extend it a bit... Now we see a lot of Asian and South American countries, or is that because the antipodal points of other countries lie in an ocean?

	@hetisjeboy: Only about 20% of the world's land would have an antipode that is also on land, the rest corresponds to ocean. The author could possibly have included more African countries and Pacific islands that connect to one another, and perhaps Bermuda which comes extremely close - but not quite - to Perth, Australia. Easter Island's antipode is in northeastern India not too far from the Pakistan border.

	Other interesting antipodes - The Cocos (Keeling) Islands, an Australian territory in the Indian Ocean, matches up with Corn Island off the coast of Nicaragua. Nearby Christmas Island connects somewhere around Barranquilla in Colombia. Singapore lines up with the eastern, Amazonian border of Ecuador, Taiwan in Paraguay, Jeju Island of South Korea with the Uruguay/Argentina border, Jindo Island of South Korea with Cape Polonio in Uruguay, the Falkland Islands in Northern China, South Georgia and the Sandwich Islands with the northern tip of Sakhalin, New Caledonia with Western Sahara, Tahiti in Sudan, Tematangi Atoll in French Polynesia with Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, Tubuai in French Polynesia with the Toshka Lakes of Egypt.

	...Chatham Island (NZ) with southern France.
