	This is a great game, and definitely harder than either the population or area only minefields. I got 65 countries before I guessed Sri Lanka.

	Wow who knew Botswana had so few people Great game by the way.

	I liked it. It's definitely one of the better Mines quizzes on this site.

	Great quiz! Argh, Republic of Congo...

	ARGH, I THOUGHT KYRGYZSTAN WOULD COME THROUGH IN THE CLUTCH!

	Botswana got me >:( Overall amazing quiz!!!!

	Jeep1964:	Aug 14th, 2011 at 23:11 GMT		1 point
	Ive tried it several times. Countries that have gotten me include: Sri Lanka Norway Ireland Papua New Guinea Libya Question: Why is New Zealand neither accepted nor a mine? I dont know if it would fit, but it should either fit or be a mine. Some are very close. Or fits one, but not the other. The African countries are what you have to be careful of, several large countries, but small populations, Libya for example. My best so far is 58.

	I tested Vatican City and it came back 196/196 for both area and population, so it can't be that the obvious countries werent included as mines, so it means New Zealand has to be added.

	Jeep1964:	Aug 14th, 2011 at 23:23 GMT		0 points
	New Zealand needs to be added as a mine. #73 in area, but over 100 in population. Its population per Wikipedia is approx. 4.4 million, less than Bulgaria's (#100) 7.1 million.

	People who do country mine quizzes have to be careful about accepting abbreviations. It doesn't apply here, but you could run into problems accepting: UK: When Ukraine fits, but not United Kingdom Dominica: Dominican Republic fits, but not Dominica Niger: Nigeria fits, but not Niger.

	Jeep1964:	Aug 15th, 2011 at 02:41 GMT		0 points
	All right, I give up. After hitting and getting or hitting and missing all evening, I've gotten them all, but two: #44 Population/#58 area (Between Australia and Cameroon) #79 Population/#78 area between UK and Uganda. I've tried every country I can think of and gotten mines. I've left out most of the island nations as too small and/or too sparsely populated. No Central American countries fit, though some are close. Anybody get these two? View Stats doesn't even give them. I have "given up" and left the "show me missed answers box checked, but all I get is ??? as the answers.

	Jeep1964:	Aug 15th, 2011 at 02:50 GMT		0 points
	I got them. I thought I had gotten a mine on Uzbekistan and I didn't think Guinea was that big. Whenever I was considering the west coast of Africa, I skipped it.

	jackmerlin:	Aug 15th, 2011 at 11:06 GMT		0 points
	@Jeep1964 There is no problem on this case as Niger and Nigeria both don't fit, UK and Ukraine both fit and Dominica and Dominican Republic both don't fit.
