	I guessed Baffin Gulf and Baffin Sea, but not Baffin Bay. Doh!

	"Baffin" should probably be accepted on its own. great quiz though

	I believe that Barbados is the easternmost island of the west indies. Otherwise great quiz.

	Well done! Now that I can spell Kyrgyzstan I need to learn its capital city.

	Barbados is easternmost. Also, there's not really a reason to make us guess in order. Good quiz, good selection of data.

	I think there is a few too many US related questions, besides that it is quite good. I would suggest also making the answers go in order as there is no real reason not to and also to conform to the "A A" geography quiz.

	Awesome game — really nice range of difficulties in the qestions. Perhaps give "Basque country" as the displayed answer, rather than "region"? I think that's the more standard term for the area — gets more than ten times as many google hits, is the title of the Wikipedia article, etc.

	Badlands and Bering Strait are good ones to add

	Thanks for the feedback, everyone. The Barbados hint was a typo, but it has been corrected. I've excepted "Baffin" as an answer as well. I'm keeping it so that questions must be answered in order because otherwise people can just sit and through out "B" places. And Basque has been changed to "country".

	Baffin wasn't working as of this post, FYI.

	Well, serves me right for getting 'Bavaria' instead of 'Black Forest'. Decent quiz.

	tazzadar:	Feb 18th, 2010 at 19:47 GMT	0 points
	I would have guessed Basque country if you mentioned France as well. And Black Forest if I hadn't memorized it as Schwartzwald, not that I am German, though. And lastly but not least - add more countries. I would appreciate seeing Bulgaria, Brazil, Belgium etc.. just try to add more obscure hints for them.

	Bloomin brill, bro.

	ehrlich:	Jul 8th, 2010 at 20:47 GMT	1 point
	And you can accept Schwarzwald for Black forest. That is english transcription, you can accept original german name.

	joebobs:	Sep 19th, 2010 at 00:19 GMT	1 point
	Great quiz! There's also the Brokeoff Mountains Wilderness Study Area in West Texas, fairly near the Mexican border, so may be worth accepting that as an alternative answer.
