| @Hazl: since it's not my quiz I can't change anything about it ;-) That said it seems to me there are two different but reasonable ways to approach this quiz: 1) Ask: "Can you name the countries of Europe, or any country that borders them?" which would allow you to enter non-European countries if they happened to border a European country. In which case, I think Suriname, Brazil, Morocco and all the countries that border Russia and Turkey should be included as regular answers. or 2) Ask "Can you name the countries of Europe, or any *European* country that borders them?" and in the game instruction say "Enter a *European* country, it and all bordering *European* countries will be revealed, which would NOT allow you to enter a non-European country. Furthermore, Suriname, Brazil, Morocco, and the non-European countries bordering Russia would not need to be regular answers (because they are not European countries). Nor would any of these non-European countries need to be bonus answers because it's clear from the game instructions that only European countries and European countries that border them are of interest in this quiz. I think the first one is more interesting, but there's nothing incorrect about either approach. In my opinion this quiz is neither fish nor fowl, it doesn't implement either approach, but rather a curious hybrid of both. It leaves the proponents of the first approach complaining that Suriname and Brazil don't appear when they enter Brazil, and proponents of the second approach wondering why they need to enter non-European countries in order to get a perfect score. |
