I was mostly surprised, while putting it together, that Ghana didn't make the top 10 (it's #11). Ethiopia definitely surprised me too, though.

@Noname219 you're right. I also forgot Sudan. I corrected it. Thank you!

Great idea for a quiz. Time might be too long - I had time to guess most of the countries of Africa.

Although almost half of the quizzers have got all, I think the difficulty level was spot-on. I managed Angola with 19 secs left. Ethiopia might be poorer than, say, Tunisia, but it has one of the largest populations in Africa.

Maybe some GDP figures in a third column

I think South Africa, Morocco and especially Ethiopia deserve credit here for being the only countries on the list whose economies are not heavily propped up by oil production. Excellent quiz.

@BeatNavy that's a great idea -- I just added them! @banutzu I just lowered the time to 1 minute. I'm curious how others feel about this change - whether or not it's fair?

just kidding. It won't let me for some reason. It says in the editing menu that it's set to one yet it still says two on year? Maybe it just hasn't updated yet - not sure.

@yellowcarpet congrats! 1:00 is the minimum time I can set a game for, though I think it alleviates some of the problem @debbiedoesnothin alluded to when the time was longer -- hopefully with a minute you only have time to enter legitimate guesses, rather than naming the whole continent. Agree? Disagree? Should I add five more countries to make the minute time more reasonable or is it good as is?

In the 'Can you name...' question you have some overlap.
