	Enjoy the quiz :) Please note that some of these are slightly "trick questions". Also, some answers may be wrong (although probably not.) Answers to the quiz may change as geography changes around the world. If you have any suggestions, please comment below. Thanks!

	Bhutan/Bangladesh do not border, and Spain/Morocco do.

	dipitashick:	Nov 26th, 2011 at 16:47 GMT	1 point
	Fixed; thanks.

	For some reason it appears to be the case that no one gets credit for "Morocco and Spain" and "Bhutan and Bangladesh" in the "show results" section following the fix. Does anyone know why that is? (I played it after the fix and got those two right but currently it's at 0%.)

	They do. There are two Spanish towns/cities (Ceuta and Melilla) that are situated on the Moroccan north coast.

	According to Wikipedia, Ceuta, Melilla, and Peñón de Vélez de la Gomera are all Spanish. What's the name of the Turkish/Cypriot territory to which you are referring? I'll look it up and judge accordingly.

	Great quiz. You might want to steer away from the Spain/Morocco and Turkey/Cyprus ones...I've come across sources that consider Northern Cyprus to be part of Turkey, and not part of Turkey. Tossing in the Morocco situation (Ceuta and Melilla) throws a wrench in the mix.

	thedpr:	Nov 27th, 2011 at 05:12 GMT	11 points
	Ceuta and Melilla are recognized as Spanish territory, even by Morocco (they call for Spain to cede them, but that implies that they recognize that they're currently Spanish). Turkey and Cyprus do not border under anyone's interpretation; Turkey is the only country to recognize the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus but it's an independent country according to them, not part of Turkey. There's really no ambiguity with either of these.

	naali:	Nov 27th, 2011 at 10:16 GMT	2 points
	I've been to both Ceuta and Melilla and crossed their land borders with Morocco and believe me, those two cities are Spanish territory and an integral part of the EU. Whether that's politically/morally/diplomatically right is a different question though.

	Tobsodan:	Nov 27th, 2011 at 12:15 GMT	2 points
	Nice quiz, and you did well to avoid the issues that would be up for discussion (Netherlands-France, UK-Cyprus/Spain, Morocco-Mauritania, Zambia-Botswana). Perhaps including the France-Brazil/Suriname thing would have been nice, but I'm not complaining.

	Rhys:	Nov 28th, 2011 at 07:24 GMT	4 points
	Nice quiz, could you accept just "y" for yes and "n" for no.

	dipitashick:	Nov 28th, 2011 at 20:26 GMT	4 points
	Thanks for the advice. Now you can answer with "y" and "n".

	bumfish:	Nov 29th, 2011 at 18:17 GMT	1 point
	I couldn't get Mongolia/Kazakhstan to work with a lower-case n; I had to use capitals for it to work.

	Excellent pairs of countries!!!

	Sudan is mean . . .

	milc:	Feb 12th, 2012 at 04:49 GMT	1 point
	I knew that Spain-Morocco border, and then just assumed the same deal occurred with Cyprus-Turkey and Denmark-Sweden. Also, you should change the Sudan one as it is no longer is correct
