	KSA? WTF. Hands up everyone who tried Kyrgyzstan first.

	CHI you deceptive son of a gun

	RSA would have been a good one to include since it looks like it could be Russia but is really Republic of South Africa (thank you, Oscar Pistorius).

	charolastra:	Aug 6th, 2012 at 18:23 GMT		28 points
	Some IOC country codes are based on countries' French names. Hence MAR=Maroc=Morocco, SUI=Suisse=Switzerland, ROU=Roumanie=Romania, etc.

	@dlauthor: Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. I missed it too, but kicked myself when I saw the answer.

	@dlauthor KSA = Kingdom of Saudi Arabia

	Note to self: Denver and Omaha are not countries...

	Enjoyed the quiz. Aus (Australia) and Aut (Austria) would be other good ones. BIH, IBV, CGO, CRC and COK would significantly increase the degree of difficulty. Hey, somebody make a quiz on Olympic teams that aren't on the countries of the world quiz.

	And what's written on the tops of the Brazilian team's uniforms? BRA!

	Can't believe it was KSA of all of them I didn't get. I was watching them participating and made a mental note of the code.

	marpocky:	Aug 6th, 2012 at 20:17 GMT		3 points
	24 countries? Does anyone have a link to a quiz with all of them?

	Pedroia15:	Aug 6th, 2012 at 21:12 GMT		5 points
	PRK also would have been a good one to add, for People's Republic of Korea (North Korea).

	This is a pretty great quiz. But it would be absolutely epic if it was every country and you had to do it in order.

	I'm not sure why, but I tried Kansas for KSA.

	@marpocky: there is a contributed game (clickable) with the codes for all the countries; you can look for it in the User Created page, under Sports. (Comments to advertise other games are usually voted down. I suppose this won't be the case, because it isn't self-advertising; the game was created by other user).

	OK. I got inspired to try creating a quiz. I have no ability in that past the most basic of basic. http://www.sporcle.com/games/Lovenkrands/olympic-non-countries

	eloriel:	Aug 7th, 2012 at 07:54 GMT		-2 points
	@Pedroia15: Technically North Korea is Democratic People's Republic of Korea (ironic, I know), even though the code is PRK. In previous years I believe their code has been DPRK. South Korea, on the other hand, is Republic of Korea (ROK).

	nthe:	Aug 7th, 2012 at 14:13 GMT		5 points
	@eloriel: South Korea's code is KOR.

	Not gonna lie... I tried Kyrgyzstan for KSA.

	featherfish81:	Aug 8th, 2012 at 05:10 GMT		4 points
	"MAR...hmm (sounding it out)...mar...occo??? No, dummy, that's MOR, not MAR." Never come up with anything. Answer comes up. "Oh."

	I tried to put Espana for Spain, but it wouldn't let me! :(

	NCA => north carolina? nope. MAR => Mauritius? no. Mauritania? no. BLR => Bulgaria? no. God I sucked!

	shakescene:	Aug 11th, 2012 at 03:25 GMT		1 point
	To Lovenkrands (about eight posts up at 02:27 Aug 7): I'm pretty sure I've seen (and taken) a quiz on Olympic participants that aren't sovereign nations by Sporcle's definition in Countries of the World (including, for example, Kosovo, North Cyprus and South Sudan but not Hong Kong, Abkhazia or Western Sahara).

	Deus:	Aug 14th, 2012 at 22:03 GMT		1 point
	Damn, missed out on MAR. NCA almost threw me as well and INA might have if i hadn't been there and seen some of the athletes.

	lexmith:	Aug 15th, 2012 at 21:09 GMT		1 point
	watching the Games, the code IRI had me baffled for a long time. It stands for Islamic Republic of Iran it turns out.

	GAH! MAR = morocco? no A! Curse YOU Morocco for keeping me from a perfect score!

	Jeep1964:	Aug 17th, 2012 at 13:54 GMT		1 point
	I got KSA because I remembered seeing it last week. Missed Chile and Moroccco. I agree RSA would be better for the "R". As they once said on Jeopardy. If they had a category "Begins with RWA", what else could it be?
