	Although some other countries (like Kuwait and Iraq) could be added to this list by some guidelines, the quiz includes those on the BBC's "Middle East protests: Country by country" page at the source link above

	As I was doing the first 2 columns, I was thinking, "Yes! This'll be easy!" Then, as I progressed through the rest (skipping a ton along the way), I thought, "Wow. I just got owned."

	I like this quiz, but I find that accepting short forms is much more of a hindrance than an aid. I by habit type out the entire country name, and deleting several letters every time I got an answer got to be a real nuisance.

	KDawgNow:	Feb 18th, 2011 at 21:33 GMT		2 points
	Nice quiz, although typing the abbreviations took some getting used to. But typing the full names every time doesn't seem like a good way to go either.

	diving:	Feb 18th, 2011 at 21:55 GMT		1 point
	trythemain & KDawgNow - I was trying trying to stick to a pre-established set of abbreviations (ISO-codes), but that & every set I found led to the problem you described, so I made up my own & changed the ones that cause trouble

	That's Tahrir Square, not Tahir square. Good quiz!

	ligluryjr - typo fixed, thanks

	It wouldn't take Saudi Arabia for me for the flag of Saudi Arabia.

	I went to high school in Jordan with Zaid Rifai, Samir Rifai's son. He always walked around campus like he owned the place and like he was better than everyone, probably because he thought he was going to be prime minister one day, just like his dad, grandfather, and great grandfather. I wonder what he's thinking now... and boy would I like to see him now that his corrupt family has been knocked down a few pegs.

	Great quiz! Flag E should be of Tunisia instead of Tunis, I believe.

	diving:	Feb 25th, 2011 at 18:59 GMT		3 points
	'Green Square' and 'Mercenaries from Chad & Niger' were added to the quiz today (after 546 plays) due to their prominence in recent events, statistics on the results page will reflect this

	emma2323:	Mar 1st, 2011 at 18:49 GMT		3 points
	Really cool quiz, but I ran out of time.

	yousefhanna:	Mar 4th, 2011 at 02:28 GMT		1 point
	I think Kuwait, Iraq and Oman should be added to the list because of the recent events there. Good quiz nonetheless :)

	diving:	Mar 4th, 2011 at 04:46 GMT		3 points
	yousefhanna - thanks for the comment (and reminder to update), I'm trying to stick to the BBC's list in order to avoid arguments over what countries should or shouldn't be added so I added Oman, but I'll be watching to see if Kuwait & Iraq are added in coming days

	diving:	Mar 4th, 2011 at 04:49 GMT		3 points
	NOTE: Oman was added after 603 plays because it was recently added to the source's (BBC's Middle East protests: Country by country page) list of protesting countries, more countries will be added to the quiz if they are added to the BBC's list. Because of the additional answers the time is increased to 7 minutes as well.

	Brilliant quiz! Hope it gets published.

	Nice quiz! I know nothing about flags, though.

	I got all the countries, all the capitals, all the leaders, and many of the miscellaneous information. I stunk at the flags. Oh, and I didn't guess either.

	kruger97:	Mar 17th, 2013 at 12:34 GMT		1 point
	Not sure why Iran is listed, as it didn't have any "Arab spring" protests in 2011.
