	Got all other than India, although Hong Kong isn't a country.

	javonzir:	Sep 7th, 2011 at 06:05 GMT		3 points
	I know Hong Kong is not a country - the linked website distinguished those Universities in Hong Kong from Mainland China. Which is why I included the comment "•Please note that one of the answers (Anyland*) is a Special Administrative Area of another country." above.

	If hong kong shows up for china and the categories are grouped this would be at least a 4* quiz. Otherwise just mediocre

	France:	Sep 7th, 2011 at 18:01 GMT		1 point
	If you're going to include hong kong, change the title of the quiz.

	Yeah, you rubberfaced mess.

	Pit_trout:	Sep 7th, 2011 at 18:16 GMT		2 points
	This has the makings of an excellent quiz, but a few small changes would greatly improve it: Group the categories! On the “Style” tab, under “Group answers with same hint”, select “5 columns” (or possibly 2, if 5 makes them too narrow). Improve the column widths. The University names need more width than the country names, being longer. Double-check university names! For instance, it should be ETH Zürich not EHT.

	Wow no Norway/Sweden/Finland?

	javonzir:	Sep 7th, 2011 at 22:18 GMT		2 points
	Pit - thanks for the feedback. I have amended ETH Zurich along with increasing the column width to 50% which seems to cope with most of the answers well. I haven't grouped the answers with the same hint as suggested and as I originally planned. This is due to when I tried it the additional information was visible without answering the question. So I felt it would be too easy to have displayed "# Monrovian National University (##)

	Gadgetron:	Sep 8th, 2011 at 23:51 GMT		1 point
	Although I see what you're doing, I still think you should just include Hong Kong as part of China, to avoid any confusion. Good quiz though.

	javonzir:	Sep 9th, 2011 at 06:18 GMT		2 points
	Thank you gadge - it is a shame that this site doesn't have a forum where questions like should Hong Kong be considered a seperate answer (one country/two systems - and distinguished from China in the source data) can be debated away from the quizzes along with providing information like acceptable answers when it has a different spelling (sulfur/sulphur), abbreviations (UAE, DRC) along with providing advice. Maybe it is something the site admin can consider for the next update.
