	With the whole Minefield craze going around, and anything with the word "Mine" in the title getting 1,000+ plays, I decided what the heck, I'm going to make my own. I hope this is a little more inventive than the average minefield quizzes, which are mostly remakes of popular normal quizzes (No offense, I do commend everyone who has made one for helping to bring this new quiz type to Sporcle). Be sure to comment if there are any mistakes, hope you enjoyed it!

	nicaragua is missing.

	kellkris:	Jun 28th, 2011 at 21:09 GMT	3 points
	Yes , Nicaragua unless it is misspelled in the puzzle is missing. How could I forget that China borders Afghanistan???????

	thedpr:	Jun 28th, 2011 at 21:37 GMT	2 points
	Nigeria is also missing. (I realize Niger is an incorrect answer, but don't make it a mine.)

	dedalusrex:	Jun 28th, 2011 at 23:44 GMT	1 point
	I typed "Australia" and nothing happened. Shouldn't that have ended it?

	Ashgabat:	Jun 29th, 2011 at 00:08 GMT	5 points
	@Dedalusrex: Australia doesn't border a country starting with 'A', although it begins with 'A' itself. The Republic of Congo is on here, and it borders the Angolan province/exclave of Cabinda.

	Thanks for the help everybody. Nicaragua was misspelled, Nigeria was missing, and I wasnt accepting just the country name without the skull and crossbones for the countries beginning with A. Should be good now.

	To me this would have been better without any islands, just felt like a waste of time and not really a 'thinking' part of the quiz entering them all.

	jmatt22397:	Jul 9th, 2011 at 19:13 GMT	1 point
	@tbh444: Yeah, you're probably right, obviously they don't border any countries starting with A. I'll change it, thanks!

	Sweet quiz, going to spend quite some time on it I guess. Oh, Latvia is in it twice. Not a major deal as it's just a free answer, but redundant still.

	Mcourtney:	Jul 19th, 2011 at 18:43 GMT	1 point
	Yes, remove one of the Latvias. Otherwise, well done.

	jmatt22397:	Jul 20th, 2011 at 02:42 GMT	2 points
	Thanks for the Latvia comment. I probably looked over the list two dozen times but I could NOT figure out why there was an extra row.

	too many countries border Austria!

	jacana:	Oct 24th, 2011 at 21:46 GMT	1 point

	Bladselleri:	Oct 29th, 2011 at 14:46 GMT	1 point
