	Enter the name of a country, and if it is relatively close to one of the answers, it will come up as Boiling, Hot, Warm, Cold, or Freezing to indicate how close it is to the answer country. This wasn't my original idea, but I thought I'd make another one of the same type. Let me know if there are any bugs, and if 4 minutes is enough/too much.

	Many countries don't work at all.

	erikjc:	Oct 8th, 2009 at 01:35 GMT		2 points
	Not all countries come up, only the ones within a certain range of the answer.

	It also says that no-one has got Finland or Angola despite me getting them!

	erikjc:	Oct 8th, 2009 at 02:05 GMT		-1 points
	Yes I noticed that, and I don't know why.

	iceman1731:	Oct 8th, 2009 at 02:52 GMT		4 points
	you need all the countries

	otis89:	Oct 8th, 2009 at 03:13 GMT		2 points
	Yeah. If you're going to do this type of quiz, you need to have all the countries in there.

	Escaho:	Oct 8th, 2009 at 05:08 GMT		5 points
	Just a thought. Do you have "Finland" and "Angola" underneath clues that are bonus answers (that have 'ee' in the extra column)? That would explain why no percentage is showing up. Or, do those two countries themselves have 'ee' in their Extra column? All answers with 'ee' in the extra column need to be below all the other answers.

	Finland was my first guess, how nice.

	erikjc:	Oct 8th, 2009 at 15:45 GMT		1 point
	Thanks Escaho, it's fixed now. Are you guys suggesting that I put all 200+ countries of the world in this quiz? You can't even put that many answers in a quiz, and that's not how the other "Hot/Cold" quizzes work.

	I dont know that you need to include EVERY country...but, for example, my very first guess that came up was Paraguay. I got the hint, tried Colombia, and nothing. Countries in the same general vicinty ought to all come up

	erikjc:	Oct 8th, 2009 at 21:04 GMT		-1 points
	Well if I'm not going to put in every country, then there has to be a limit. When a country doesn't come up, that is a hint that it is not close at all, beyond freezing. Colombia is not close to Uruguay (or Paraguay) so I did not include it.

	richsprad93:	Oct 8th, 2009 at 22:03 GMT		3 points
	You should include all the countries in that continent, and btw there are only 195 countries, not 200. and you can put that many, because there is a quiz called "Countries of the World." theres none in the oceanic, dont include them, but include all the south america countries for Uruguay.

	Got this in 1:37. I love these kinds of quizzes.

	rentageek_pe1:	Jan 1st, 2010 at 19:48 GMT		3 points
	Actually I think it's better with less countries. The others say 'warm' or 'hot' for countries that are nowhere near the answer.

	Oddish:	Mar 10th, 2010 at 23:06 GMT		3 points
	I liked this idea a lot, good idea. I also guessed Angola out of the blue!

	NYCub:	Mar 13th, 2010 at 03:21 GMT		2 points
	I don't understand why you're so against putting every country in. Other hot/cold quizzes do.

	JoeyBeauchamp:	Apr 9th, 2010 at 12:21 GMT		-1 points
	There are many better versions of this - you need all the countries

Comment below threshold: show it

	christortise:	Nov 2nd, 2010 at 11:55 GMT		-1 points
	Mate, I put in Mexico and it didn't show up Uruguay. This is shocking.

	Bowmana:	Dec 2nd, 2010 at 20:20 GMT		3 points
	My two cents: I agree that you need all of the countries. If you're so against that, though, then definitely at least countries on the same continent.

	I liked this quiz, it's a different style by not including all the countries, but it seems to work. However, if you like the style with all countries giving hot/cold clues you may like to try these: http://www.sporcle.com/games/tahitiwahini/asian_capitals_hot_or_cold http://www.sporcle.com/games/tahitiwahini/african_capital_hot_or_cold

	great quiz but i agree. put every country from the continent on it

	doggielover2579:	Mar 14th, 2011 at 00:24 GMT		0 points
	I got all of them. Thank you comments!
