My strategy: go down the list, and look for the ones that are not obvious, and write them down. When you write them, note which country pops up and don't write that one when you come to it. Then do one round, this time getting all those obvious ones. Still, was left with two or three at the end that got me thrice, until the fourth time was the charm. Absolutely FANTASTIC quiz, really made me think and strategize! (as you can see!) 5 globes for sure.

Write them down!? Outrageous talk! You might as well get a screen dump and copy/compare.

When I first red the description, I thought pfff! But it works brilliantly, excellent idea and well executed. Great quiz.

Everyone, sorry for the misunderstanding! When I said write them down, I meant type them in! I often say 'write' to mean 'type' (digital age, lol!) I just read it how you guys must have read it and it makes me sound like a douchebag, not to mention an idiot for still not getting them! My bad! I should read comments a second time in the future!
