	Madagascar is another island M.

	Is this hard because we can't read the questions? Change the color PLEASE (not gonna take it until I can actually read it)

	savedtheday:	Oct 6th, 2011 at 16:25 GMT	7 points
	The color should be changed. Also - Micronesia, Madagascar, Marshall Islands... And finally, there is no reason to not reveal the answers at the end. People aren't going to be replaying a quiz like this.

	I tried 'Madagascar and Mauritius' and vice versa etc

	historybuff1861:	Oct 6th, 2011 at 16:34 GMT	-2 points
	sorry about the other islands I will fix that and the color the only way I could reveal the answer would be to make that answer also incorrect trust me I tried.

	historybuff1861:	Oct 6th, 2011 at 16:44 GMT	0 points
	Had to change the question because there wasn't enough room to answer sorry.

	When I put in Dead Sea, it comes up wrong. When I put in Ulan Bator, nothing happens. What gives?

	historybuff1861:	Oct 6th, 2011 at 17:11 GMT	-1 points
	To tell you the truth I thought the dead sea was connected to the medditeranean and the correct spelling is Ulaanbaatar that is why nothing happened. I well accept dead sea but not the answer I was looking for.

	amwoods13:	Oct 6th, 2011 at 17:49 GMT	4 points
	Ulan Bator is a commonly accepted spelling (you can find it in Wikipedia spelled that way). The usual Sporcle convention is to accept any of the several different spellings.

	I can't get "Name two island countries that start with Saint" to register an answer. Tried various combinations of St. Lucia, St. Vincent (with and without the Grenadines) and St. Kitts and Nevis, with "saint" abbreviated and spelled out.

	Great start on a good quiz. Aral sea is also a salt lake (at least as long as it is still in existence. You mispelled Pakistan and I think it really has a triple answer which you can't really fully explain in a Sporcle quiz, because there is the literal meaning of the word and the rationale behind its formation, that is, as an acronym for the peoples who live in the country. It is also more simply the name of the country bounded by Iran, Afghanistan, China, and India. The last definition is what people will understand, not 'Land of the Pure'. I couldn't see what you gave for the Iran answer, because the answer I typed in did not work, but I would posit, that a similar situation exists - that is the most common meaning for the word is the country itself. Syllable is mispelled as well and the punctuation could use some work.

	I don't think "Paksitan" means anything in Urdu.

	historybuff1861:	Oct 6th, 2011 at 20:13 GMT	0 points
	Ok I am going to change up those things commented on if anyone knows how to make the stats work that would be great because it is confusing me.

	koopa08:	Oct 6th, 2011 at 22:30 GMT	1 point
	I must have typed in Saint Lucia, Saint Kitts and Nevis, and Saint Vincent and the Grenadines as pairs ten different ways (including abbreviations), and they did not show up as correct answers.

	historybuff1861:	Oct 7th, 2011 at 00:58 GMT	1 point
	I'm sorry there are way to many answers for any of these stupid island questions I try to do so I am changing the question I am sorry for all the iritation I caused everyone.

	cantthinkofaname:	Oct 7th, 2011 at 05:59 GMT	1 point
	Why do we have to type "and" for the Hispaniola question?

	historybuff1861:	Oct 7th, 2011 at 11:02 GMT	0 points
	Oh to tell you the truth I didn't think you did let me go check on that...

	historybuff1861:	Oct 7th, 2011 at 11:08 GMT	-1 points
	you don't??? I just checked it in the answers and took the quiz myself and is not required I think you can have you answer with it but by no means do you need it maybe you accidently spelled it wrong the first time when i'm typing fast I go dominicna which always screws me up.

	Show the answers. Show the answers. Show the answers.

	Australia has states and territories, not provinces.

	I don't mind that you rate it low I just want to know why so if/when I make other quizzes I can improve please and thank you :). Kyrgyzstan.

	rje_dobbin:	Oct 11th, 2011 at 16:27 GMT	4 points
	Definitely show the answers

	Anne13:	Oct 12th, 2011 at 04:07 GMT	1 point
	This quiz has potential. Don't hide answers, and don't have us force answers in order. It is not necessary for this type of quiz. In the future, test your quiz carefully. You made need to test it several times before you release it.

	historybuff1861:	Oct 12th, 2011 at 21:35 GMT	0 points
	I really have no idea how to make some answers wrong and show the answers if there is a way to do that please tell me or tell me that there should not be answers that can be wrong. Please and thank you.

	historybuff1861:	Oct 12th, 2011 at 21:50 GMT	-1 points
	Okay when you answer a question wrong it will give you the right answer now but if you give up or cannot figure out the answer when time runs out it will not give you the answers. If you would rather there be no wrong answers but you can see the actual answers I will do that but the quiz will suffer a drastic time reduction. Up to you.
