	The pictures should really show up bigger by the answer box because these thumbnails are kind of hard to make out a lot of the time.

	Grrrr I kept typing Italy forgetting it should be Vatican City.

	Good quiz. I kept on typing the city rather than the country.

	Finland could be almost any State Capitol building in the U.S.

	Just realised I ate lunch on the steps of 47 and embarassingly did not get it! :-S

	From the thumbnail - maybe. But there is a difference in architecture when you see them for real. Also there's the statue of Alexander, and the whole Senaatintori view is iconic for Helsinki. A little bit like the CN tower could be any communications tower, as they do look somewhat similar, but are not really the same.

	Pictures are way too small to be able to guess with most of them.

	@Chrisg92: There's more to China than just the great wall, you know. This factory is actually one gate to a factory area called "Forbidden City".

	I kept looking at one picture thinking "but there's nothing there? Why would I be able to identify a vacant mountain wall?" Then I saw the answer was Afghanistan and pretty much had to fight to keep from crying.

	My strategy on these quizzes: Go through and answer the ones I know. Then go back through the ones I skipped and try "Kyrgyzstan" for each of them.

	With regards to the comments about there being nothing there for Afghanistan, that's a product of the thumbnail size image. There actually appears to be a large statue in the niche, with an arm visible. That does mean that the picture has to be pre 2001 though, as if that is the Bhudda of Bamiyan, then it was dynamited by the Taliban in 2001.

	I didn't know North Korea possessed a building like that. You learn something new everyday.

	Maybe "the Netherlands" should be accepted for Netherlands. I thought that was the actual name, is it not?

	I knew Belgium's from the Amazing Race, anyone else?

	Had to fight to not type in city names when I knew them, and for the PetroNas Towers, I couldn't for the life of me recall what country Kuala Lumpur was in. Face palm.... Great quiz, tho I wish there was a way to enlarge the pictures.

	@Rickin: It's not sporcle convention, sorry. @Speedy: It's called Ryugyong Hotel, and the idea behind it is the most hilarious of any landmark.

	RickinHK: United States of America is not the same thing as America, therefore should and will not be accepted. If that was allowed, it should also be the answer to Canada, Mexico, Peru, Brazil et cetera.

	Interesting idea, but the pictures are a little small. Is there a way to make them bigger?
