	Does this quiz take itself into account?

	Rdub19:	Nov 22nd, 2009 at 04:17 GMT		79 points
	I would have been perfect, but I forgot most of the countries I missed.

	Leeny:	Nov 22nd, 2009 at 04:21 GMT		5 points
	take that, france!

	indyjeff:	Nov 22nd, 2009 at 04:22 GMT		6 points
	Serbia and Croatia I could understand, but I wonder why Kosovo and Montenegro would appear on more quizzes than the third answer on the list. Also interesting that the islands of North/Central America and the islands of Oceania each had just a single answer on this quiz.

	Jaspers:	Nov 22nd, 2009 at 04:23 GMT		3 points
	@indyjeff: Smallest countries, island countries, least populous countries, etc.

	i'm kind of surprised with #1

	Detektor:	Nov 22nd, 2009 at 04:28 GMT		1 point
	You know what would also be a really interesting quiz? Countries that appear most/least frequently as BONUS answers.

	The_Goat:	Nov 22nd, 2009 at 04:30 GMT		33 points
	Then why does it feel to me like #1 is on every quiz?

	Scout_Number_4:	Nov 22nd, 2009 at 04:34 GMT		8 points
	This quiz is crazy difficult. Love the geography quizzes, but did very poorly on this one.

	So are the least guessed answers on this quiz countries people never think of or countries they think they often think of? Or do we think we should think of them and therefore not think of them? I've either had too much to drink or not enough, I can't tell.

	Leeny:	Nov 22nd, 2009 at 04:46 GMT		15 points
	@Detektor: Timor-Leste and Cote d'Ivoire would have to be the top answers - they always seem to be bonus answers instead of real ones because we can never agree on what to call them!

	It is a travesty that Djibouti is on here

	jawa88:	Nov 22nd, 2009 at 05:37 GMT		2 points
	Maybe that's why #1 is where it is, it's never actually on the quiz, it's always a bonus. I thought I saw that waaay more often than, say, senegal.

	I thought about guessing a lot of these, but didn't guess them because I thought of them.

	JayHankEdLyon:	Nov 22nd, 2009 at 06:12 GMT		15 points
	I've typed "cote divoire" and felt proud of myself for knowing its real name enough times that this quiz is questionable to me. If it wasn't Sporcle itself that made it I would call foul, but as it is I'm just wondering how many country quizzes I've actually taken in the grand scheme of things. Way to make me feel existential, guys.

	sactoshc:	Nov 22nd, 2009 at 06:13 GMT		-2 points
	Holy Moly! What happened to me? I completely fell apart on this one.

	giga:	Nov 22nd, 2009 at 06:16 GMT		16 points
	I guess Lesotho right away because I type it in every geography quiz with the hope it might come up...more way more often it doesn't. Glad it worked this time

	This is getting cliched, but here goes...Equatorial Guinea strikes again.

	Weird to see Niger on this list, because you normally have to write N-i-g-e-r for Nigeria. (The same thing applies to Dominica for Dominican Republic) Interesting quiz.

	How many quizzes are there where the answers are Country names?? I guess these are ones that fall into the purely geographical quizzes but not into the ones like 'greatest number of chickens/pigs' 'highest/lowest population' 'biggest/smallest' etc etc etc. I like it, really makes you think.

	Steesh:	Nov 22nd, 2009 at 09:19 GMT		5 points
	@Noname - It's the amount of times they are guessed. It's how often they are answers to a quiz meaning that Niger goes into Nigeria is irrelevent quite frankly.

	mellifluous:	Nov 22nd, 2009 at 09:41 GMT		11 points
	surprisingly hard. only figured out with a minute to go that it was essentially a tour through western africa.

	I'm wrecking my brain for quizzes in which Swaziland is an answer but Lesotho isn't...

	I feel so lucky. I get to be the one to say it. Ok Joe get your composure. Ahem. What about Kyrgyzstan?

	Other quizzes accept FYROM for Macedonia. It would be cool if this one did, too. It was accepted into the UN as 'the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia', and most of Europe calls it by that name due to a dispute with Greece.
