	Nice quiz, but technically we get three clues for each question. Also, it's the Nile that flows into the sea. Niles was a character on Frasier. Given that we get 3 hints, you should decrease the time to 4 minutes tops.

	Why's it called the "Most Frustrating Geography Quiz Ever"? Especially with the letter clues, it was pretty easy. Maybe you mean frustrating for anyone who was expecting a hard quiz?!

	dm21uk:	Mar 6th, 2010 at 20:37 GMT		4 points
	Thanks - corrected the typo. I wasn't really sure on the timing as although most of the clues are easy you can spend a bit of the time trying to get the spelling right. I will decrease a little bit as there seems to be a couple of people agree with you.

	Thanks purely to Sporcle, I can now spell "Liechtenstein" and "Kyrgyzstan" in my sleep... :) Anyway, this was a fun quiz!

	conradmcmasters:	Mar 7th, 2010 at 00:07 GMT		10 points
	This is hardly that difficult, not sure what you were going for, but decent quiz despite it's billing. No need for the letter clues, though I can't say I used them.

	Houston? really?

	ablackperson:	Mar 7th, 2010 at 02:44 GMT		1 point
	Too easy. Take away 2 out of 3 clues, cut down the time.

	bsd987:	Mar 7th, 2010 at 02:51 GMT		5 points
	Exactly what about this is frustrating?

	TheBigE1980:	Mar 7th, 2010 at 03:29 GMT		7 points
	No...the most frustrating geography quiz ever is that one where you have to name all of the countries alphabetically.

	Hooby:	Mar 7th, 2010 at 04:55 GMT		4 points
	take out houston, put in ulaanbaatar

	kristen58:	Mar 7th, 2010 at 05:51 GMT		1 point
	Pretty easy...is it supposed to be frustrating because they're harder words to spell? that's true, i didn't really have a problem, though. i had to try a few different spellings for reykjavik before getting it right, but the others were no problem.

	cuendillar:	Mar 7th, 2010 at 12:56 GMT		2 points
	Why Johannesburg, that's not hard at all to spell? If you want a South African city, take instead Bloemfontein (judicial capital) or Ekurhuleni (East Rand). Another African one that can be hard is Mbuji-Mayi, DRC. You also really need to put in some Chinese cities like Shijiazhuang or Zhengzhou.

	so, why is this the most frustrating quiz ever? completed it in 2:30.

	Andiyan:	Mar 7th, 2010 at 19:01 GMT		1 point
	Waaaaaaaaaaaaay too easy.

	koopa08:	Mar 7th, 2010 at 20:29 GMT		1 point
	I didn't even know there were hints until I was down to 3 or 4....I knew them all, but wow, Saskatchewan & Rio gave me hell. Arrgh! Got all 20 though. Nice job!

	VanessaE:	Mar 7th, 2010 at 21:11 GMT		4 points
	Great quiz - quite easy, but that would be because I have wasted many, many hours of my life playing sporcle georgraphy games. Good one :)

	kennechiwa87:	Mar 7th, 2010 at 21:29 GMT		3 points
	I might be biased since I'm from Houston, but do other people really have trouble spelling Houston?

	homoerectus69:	Mar 8th, 2010 at 02:45 GMT		-1 points
	why is this frustrating? every one of these was easy, especially with the hints

	Masternachos:	Mar 8th, 2010 at 03:51 GMT		5 points
	Most frustrating geography quiz ever? A quiz with 'Kyrgyzstan' spelled incorrectly.

	gartland:	Mar 8th, 2010 at 05:17 GMT		1 point
	not frustrating at all

	Williams27:	Mar 8th, 2010 at 14:38 GMT		5 points
	Did you guys not see the title? It's actually the most frustrating "georgraphy" quiz ever. Since I have no idea what georgraphy is (the study of Georges?), that could well be true. As a geography quiz, though, it's very easy and has far too much time. Back to the drawing board.

	RS89:	Mar 8th, 2010 at 19:00 GMT		0 points
	Not even close to being the most frustrating geography quiz ever. Have you actually taken any of the other geography quizzes on Sporcle?

	Rooster:	Mar 8th, 2010 at 19:58 GMT		0 points
	Someone open a window? That was a breeze!!!!!11

	Satchsurfer:	Mar 8th, 2010 at 20:25 GMT		3 points
	Wouldve got full marks if i could spell Saskachewan

	ChileNoseJam:	Mar 9th, 2010 at 13:29 GMT		0 points
	What's frustrating about it? It would be fairly straightforward with one clue per question, with three it's ridiculously easy.

	MisterF:	Mar 9th, 2010 at 16:45 GMT		2 points
	Kennechiwa: The creator of this quiz also couldn't spell "geography" correctly in the title, so don't worry.

	llewelynofwales:	Mar 9th, 2010 at 23:20 GMT		3 points
	I agree with all who stated that this is not frustrating at all for someone who has run the Sporcle Geography gamut. A nice warm up exercise though

	zifyoip:	Oct 7th, 2010 at 14:14 GMT		1 point
	Buenos Aires is the capital of Argentina, not the captial.

	hlweissman:	Nov 24th, 2010 at 20:43 GMT		1 point
	You definitely don't need the last hint.

	Got them all but the longest river in Asia.
