	Great game. Having a flag counter on my last.fm page really helped with this.

	It's really just kind of another "Which countries have the biggest populations" quiz. But I like these types of quizzes, they're ones that I don't know how anyone could think of making up.

	4:00 is quite a bit of time, maybe 3:00? I had all but one, and took me about an extra minute to get Turkey and still with plenty of time.

	Idk, like most of the other product specific countries, there is a strong aspect outside of size, that being relative wealth. You see no African countries, and no Middle Eastern nations but for Iraq. But yeah, guessing all the big countries will get you there in 4 minutes/

	I was a bit surprised that Iran and Vietnam made the list but Philippines and Thailand didn't. Will be interesting to see what the rankings are in 5-10 years.

	Josh:	Jun 19th, 2009 at 08:49 GMT	64 points
	I think this should've been about most Internet users as a percentage of the population. The way it is now, it's not really interesting.

	I just missed Vietnam.

	I feel like John Kerry right now. Because I forgot Poland.

	Unbelievably high percentages on this one (when I finished, 47% got at least 18). Most likely too much time given. Could probably even be cut in half. Fun quiz though

	MissDemeter:	Jun 19th, 2009 at 09:14 GMT	5 points
	Turkey was a desperate attempt to get the last one. Luckily, I was right! Yay! Also, I was surprised that the Philippines was not on this list.

	Jaspers:	Jun 19th, 2009 at 09:35 GMT	120 points
	I'm surprised Nigeria didn't make the list, what with all the displaced royalty sending e-mails.

	zalagreensbury:	Jun 19th, 2009 at 09:41 GMT	4 points
	Did anyone else find it hilarious that Australia didn't make the list, considering the fact internet porn's illegal there. oh, what perverted times we live in...but then I'm tempted to ask the opposite when I saw Iran on the list.

	Leeny:	Jun 19th, 2009 at 09:46 GMT	-2 points
	@Jaspers - you get those too?!

	luulapants:	Jun 19th, 2009 at 09:55 GMT	-2 points
	Just missed Turkey. I was able to get the rest just guessing, though.

	DeeJay:	Jun 19th, 2009 at 10:02 GMT	-4 points
	19/20. Missed #15.

	mungar:	Jun 19th, 2009 at 10:04 GMT	11 points
	@zalagreensbury: Australia only has 21 million people, so even if every single citizen used the internet they would only barely make the list.

	RunnDMC:	Jun 19th, 2009 at 10:21 GMT	-1 points
	There was no way I was guessing Vietnam haha.

	"You can watch the Louvre on one channel or watch female mud-wrestling on another. You can do your shopping at home or play Mortal Kombat with a friend in Vietnam."(The Cable Guy). I cant believe I forgot Vietnam!

	iceman1731:	Jun 19th, 2009 at 10:40 GMT	-2 points
	Damn, I had them all except Poland

	mister_pianoman:	Jun 19th, 2009 at 10:58 GMT	-1 points
	Have to admit, I had 17 and 18 left and put those two in half jokingly.

	NaGfH:	Jun 19th, 2009 at 11:22 GMT	3 points
	the news recently about Iran got me that one, guessing all of Europe got me Poland, but Vietnam never crossed my mind. don't see why people had trouble with Turkey

	jholtemore:	Jun 19th, 2009 at 11:37 GMT	0 points
	I missed Poland and Indonesia. I feel kinda lame.

	Niques:	Jun 19th, 2009 at 12:08 GMT	3 points
	I always forget Vietnam. I agree with Josh - internet usage as a proportion of total population would be a bit more difficult.

	Hess:	Jun 19th, 2009 at 12:10 GMT	-1 points
	Wow that was easier than i expected 20/20 almost missed iran though

	deej:	Jun 19th, 2009 at 14:05 GMT	-1 points
	this is basically "name the 20 most populous countries that aren't in africa, or bangladesh"

	Agree with deej. But still a nice one.

	The internet in Iran is an interesting phenomenon right now actually. In the lead up to the election last week the leading opposition candidate had a strong internet campaign, while over the past couple of days sites like Twitter and Facebook have been the main way of keeping up to date with goings on; Twitter even rescheduled a period of maintenance downtime so people could keep using the service during the unrest.

	zalagreensbury:	Jun 19th, 2009 at 16:04 GMT	4 points
	lol, i'd be careful using a word like 'tweet' in iran-- something tells me a simple sentence like 'i was tweeting all day' can land someone in a torture prison there.yikes.

	subway24:	Jun 19th, 2009 at 16:09 GMT	-2 points
	I can't believe I got all of them on my first try! I usually do pretty badly on these types of quizzes. I got Iran because I know that it is one of the most populous countries. Anyway, this was a great quiz!

	@Mr. Negative: Look at the source. Of those 20 countries, South Korea is the highest as far as percentage of the population that uses the Net.

	When it comes to the internet the South Koreans are ahead of everyone. The SK government in the 90's took the decision that this communication would be vital and pretty much ripped up the entire country connecting the vast majority of the population with fibre optic cables. Not only do they have one of the highest percentage connected, there average connection speed is vastly superior as well! I suggest reading this article for more http://news.cnet.com/South-Korea-leads-the-way/2009-1034_3-5261393.html

	Only Japan ranks ahead of them in average internet speed btw!

	Uhlan:	Jun 19th, 2009 at 18:25 GMT	-1 points
	No wonder the Basiji are having such a hard time.
