Great quiz. Some of these 'mine' quizzes can be too difficult but this one I think was just pitched fine.

That being said some of your numbers are wrong. For example Afghanistan has 6 borders, not 7. Not sure if there are any other mistakes, you can check yourself.

Spain neither counts nor sets off a mine. By my count, including dependent territories, it borders France, Andorra, Portugal, UK, and Morocco, which is 5.

I hit a mine before I even finished typing in the country! Just because I typed "Czech", what makes you think I was going for Czech Republic?

WCR: call it an educated guess. You should be happy, it gave you more time to retry the quiz! :)

Great quiz darinh. It's much better than my version (without mines) which I thought was an original idea but was actually contributed a day afterwards. Apologies! Five globes.
