	Nice quiz, sadly I was left with Turkey and Spain for 'Name a Scandinavian country'.

	Maybe do this in forced order to make it slightly more challenging?

	adhair:	Apr 5th, 2012 at 16:49 GMT		7 points
	Yes, it's definitely easier if you click "Prev" before every answer.

	estebanreyes:	Apr 5th, 2012 at 17:27 GMT		0 points
	Damn didnt think of it. And i cant edit now cause nu phone doesnt allow scrolling through nu list of games... It was obviously meant in forced order.

	estebanreyes:	Apr 6th, 2012 at 10:42 GMT		0 points
	As it seems, with the new Clickable quizzes you can't force order. You'll always be able to click previous or next. I'll send a feedback email to sporcle, maybe they'll change it, cause for this type of quiz it's actually needed.

	You should specify what sport you're talking about for European Championships

	I finally got all the way to "name a country with less than 2 million inhabitants". Italy, Germany, France. I gave up after that.

	indianwolf1992:	Apr 8th, 2012 at 07:01 GMT		5 points
	This quiz was AWESOME! I made it all the way through to the end, and then had only Germany left for the last one- country with 'E'! Talk about bad luck!

	indianwolf1992:	Apr 8th, 2012 at 07:03 GMT		1 point
	Oh, and 5 globes plus nomination. Are there any other quizzes of this sort? Cause I can imagine some being annoying, but this one was gold!

I hate these quizzes - you can get correct answers for most of the way through, then get stuck because although your answers were correct, they weren't the intended ones. It totally defeats the point of a quiz - you're not trying to get the answers correct, you're trying to read the quizmaster's mind.

	"countries with less than two million inhabitants?" Greece or Netherlands WTF

	hatshepsut:	Aug 20th, 2012 at 13:32 GMT		3 points
	Fun! Not knowing what all the questions would be (first time) and trying to anticipate which countries I should leave for later was an interesting exercise. 15 on my first try, and all on my second, of course. Made sure to leave Sweden untouched!

	gipnov23:	Aug 20th, 2012 at 15:58 GMT		1 point
	im so proud! i got to the last question! but latvia doesnt start with e :(

	Bladselleri:	Aug 21st, 2012 at 20:04 GMT		2 points
	Very hard and very interesting. Took me six tries to complete! A very small nitpick: 'answer' in the game note is misspelled

	California:	Aug 21st, 2012 at 21:07 GMT		5 points
	ChileNoseJam said it right. Any skill in this game is overshadowed by the need for luck, in the way of "saving" countries until the end. Its a gimmick, not a quiz.

	Golden:	Aug 21st, 2012 at 23:10 GMT		1 point
	@chilenose - I agree it isn't a quiz. It's more of a maze. It's not something you are intended or expected to do once and get it right. Rather, I wrote down my answers, and as I got late into the game and found I had to save some countries I'd already used, I tried again and saved those countries the next time. It's still a fun concept, for me. One of the best things about Sporcle is the miriad of imaginative ways its mechanics are used.

	Ulkomaalainen:	Aug 22nd, 2012 at 14:38 GMT		5 points
	Of course it is a lot of luck, but even on your first try you can get some strategies working. Look out for common traits within countries (ex USSR, island nations (not needed here but still), large and small countries in area and population and so on) and try to save your "jokers" with many of these properties as long as possible - but not too long since the last country needs to be unique. You still need the right questions to pop up of course, "purple in the flag" or similar is killing. So it is a fun game, but hardly a real knowledge quiz.

	Denmark is bigger than 400,000 sq.km. (if that was the question) when you include Greenland, as is usual.

	tstenz:	Aug 23rd, 2012 at 02:04 GMT		4 points
	Nice idea, but consistently failing a quiz without giving any incorrect answers or running out of time is not a quiz I enjoy.

	jmwhitestripes:	Aug 23rd, 2012 at 02:16 GMT		2 points
	It should be Eczech Republic. Damn that last question.

	ikspuls:	Aug 23rd, 2012 at 04:41 GMT		1 point
	I got a better score when I was clicking randomly.

	I got 15 the first time but now can't remember how I did it...that's life.

	Never mind, got all 17!

	Great quiz, took 7 plays but I got there in the end. Any sequels in the works?

	I normally hate clickable mines countries, but I really enjoyed this one. Very clever.

	i dont even know what the european championships are! ah well, i love this idea for a quiz

	abbjar1:	Feb 1st, 2013 at 02:27 GMT		1 point
	@jajaunit: the European Championships is a soccer competition where 24(as of 2016 France competition) european nations participate.

	What the hell is this? I just did two quizzes on area, and Denmark had a great area due to Greenland. Now I try it, and it blows up on me!

	Czech Republic and Luxembourg left for a Scandinavian country..... argh

	iceman1731:	Mar 18th, 2013 at 09:47 GMT		0 points
	Am I seriously the only person to notice that it says name two consonants in a row, despite the fact that there are no such countries on the list.(Greece has two vowels in a row)

	earlfug:	Mar 18th, 2013 at 14:34 GMT		2 points
	^ Doesn't say SAME consonants, just two consonants in a row..

	cjdwhitehead:	Mar 18th, 2013 at 21:54 GMT		1 point
	Great quiz, I got done on country over 400,000 sq km with Denmark, surely with Greenland...?

	robzalli:	Mar 20th, 2013 at 00:23 GMT		0 points
	I'm confused. I assumed Italy was the only country that didn't have two consonants in a row (because the y is definitely a vowel in this case), but I accidentally clicked it and it didn't blow up...
