	New Caledonia isn't a country, but other than that it's fine

	When you say "your safe with $1000" or anything like that, it should be "you're."

	Can you put a question mark after the questions?

	there are a lot of dumb questions that have nothing to do with geography. there's a difference between knowing a lot about the world and memorizing the almanac, and the latter is required for this quiz

	Asking if Zambia is the last country alphabetically seems a bit silly when you've listed Zimbabwe as an option a few questions before.

	The question about how fast the world spins needs a reference point. If you are on the poles it is very low, but at the equator it is about 1670 km/hr, so both of those answers are possible.

	$5000 and $10,000 questions are much harder than the next four that come after them, or so I think.

	i didn't really know any of the population questions but i just guessed the middle number and it was right every time

	Does anyone else think that we may have a little bit too much time for this quiz??

	Damn, I only got $1000. I really suck at these :P

	Having both the "households" and "population" questions for the UK is a little dull. (Also, having the correct answer be the middle one of each is very predictable.) Also, as others have noted, the "how fast does the world spin" question needs a reference point (presumably the equator is where your numbers are based on, but you need to spell it out.) And it's just a dumb way of asking "What is the circumference of the earth", anyway.

	really, the number of households in brittain? why are there population questions on here? and the worlds aproximate population in 6.7 billion. this quiz not so great.

	Capital city, not Capitol, which you used for the $150,000 question

	Asking the population of GB with choices (55/60/65 million) so close together is way too specific. If the choices were something like 105 million, 60 million, 25 million, and 5 million, then the question would actually test useful knowledge.

	[sarcasm] Yeah coz if you take a quiz like this, you instantly look for the cheat so it doesn't test you at all [/sarcasm] But I think its good to have a quiz which isn't so biased towards Americans for once.

	TimeAndTide:	Nov 4th, 2009 at 00:49 GMT	18 points
	As a proud American, born and bred, I heartily agree with Spectre. As much as I love my country, I'm kind of tired of all the quizzes that slice and dice U.S. state facts. It's nice to see other countries' geography in the limelight too. That said, Brits have their fair share in the Literature section, where practically every quiz seems to be on some facet of Harry Potter. (And yes I'm a Harry Potter fan, but geez!) Btw, I agree with bdm's comment on the need for a reference point in the rotational speed of the Earth. However I don't agree with comments that seem to imply that population questions are inappropriate for a geography quiz. Geography is about more than names of countries and cities.

	i wish it was more excited when you win at the end. i thought i had lost, and then i realized 4 rows down it said "you win $1,000,000" i just saw the "game ended" at the top and thought i had lost.

	the 1,000,000;250,000 and 5,000 dollar questions don't have much to do with geography

	maroolat:	Dec 19th, 2009 at 22:02 GMT	-3 points
	the british questions are not geography, they are demography. also, not everyone taking this quiz is british.

	joebobs:	Jan 14th, 2010 at 22:51 GMT	5 points
	1) on the households in the uk question, you say 'Britain'. do you mean the UK or Great Britain? 2) The speed at which the world spins depends how close to the equator you are.

	France:	Apr 20th, 2010 at 08:32 GMT	11 points
	The questions are too specific. 65 million or 60 million? How the hell are we supposed to know?
