	you spelled AFRICA wrong, but otherwise great quiz

	miyomiyo1050:	Oct 5th, 2009 at 02:01 GMT		2 points
	Haha, I'm surprised I didn't notice that.

	JezuzFingerz:	Oct 5th, 2009 at 02:48 GMT		3 points
	Really good quiz. I really need to study up on my African geography. Got everything except for those.

	LinuxLinus:	Oct 5th, 2009 at 05:14 GMT		3 points
	Fun. Took me a minute to figure out what you wanted. Kinda embarassing that I knew Europe better than my home continent.

	swellwrench:	Oct 5th, 2009 at 08:01 GMT		10 points
	You might wanna specify that you're looking for the path that takes one through the fewest COUNTRIES, not the path that would actually be fastest.

	i was completely lost and frustrated at first because i didnt clue in to writing the starting country down first

	Ourboros313:	Oct 6th, 2009 at 06:07 GMT		2 points
	I think you should leave out the starting and ending countries. Like brianmcp, I was stuck cus I didn't know to start with them.

	MaiPenRai:	Oct 6th, 2009 at 07:25 GMT		2 points
	yeah i was also stuck because i didnt realize you had to enter the starting country

	cysion:	Oct 6th, 2009 at 08:05 GMT		16 points
	Technically there is a bridge from Denmark to Sweden, making it Germany-Denmark-Sweden in the end, but that of course is not a natural connection. So I'll just shut up and comment you for the great quiz idea ;P

	theurbanmapper:	Oct 6th, 2009 at 11:07 GMT		6 points
	A couple of things: first, technically Poland touches Russia. It isn't a straight shot because kaliningrad is an exclave. Africa is kind of arbitrary: you could go SA-Moz-Tan-Ken/Ug-Sudan or SA-Nabibia-Angola-DRC-Sudan. In Asia, you could also go Iran-Afghanistan-China-Myanmar or Laos-Thailand is as few steps as the above. I think this is a great quiz, and a really fun idea, but kinda hard to pull off.

	miyomiyo1050:	Oct 6th, 2009 at 11:24 GMT		6 points
	First, I was aware that Kaliningrad was a part of Russia, but as the concept of the game was to find the quickest path, I didn't think it was too much to assume to not allow "jumping" between discontinuous parts of the same country. Second, I've added in the alternate paths you suggested, and I've removed the starting and ending countries.

	SPU:	Oct 6th, 2009 at 12:30 GMT		9 points
	In that case, isn't the Asian one also somewhat tenuous, as different parts of Malaysia border Thailand and Indonesia? Great idea!

	Annie1:	Oct 6th, 2009 at 13:58 GMT		6 points
	Namibia is spelled incorrectly. Really interesting quiz.

	Hunter14180:	Oct 6th, 2009 at 14:26 GMT		1 point
	Cool idea for a quiz, would like to see some sequals :p

	canuckliz:	Oct 6th, 2009 at 14:31 GMT		10 points
	Interesting quiz, but the incorrect spelling of Namibia cost me the African connection.

	jhowes:	Oct 6th, 2009 at 15:57 GMT		2 points
	one of my fave quizzes! nice idea

	444444:	Oct 6th, 2009 at 16:31 GMT		6 points
	Love the concept, but I don't see how you can disallow the Poland-Russia-Finland connection for Europe while counting Thailand-Malaysia-Indonesia for Asia. Also, Iran-Afghanistan-China is just as valid as Iran-Pakistan-China.

	nice quiz... u got a typo on namibia though...

	miyomiyo1050:	Oct 6th, 2009 at 19:20 GMT		1 point
	Sorry, all, fixed the typo. I do realize that this quiz is a bit ambiguous, and I have an idea for a sequel-type thing that's less up to interpretation. I'll hopefully make it some time today.

	justagirl:	Oct 6th, 2009 at 19:23 GMT		2 points
	Ukraine should be accepted as an alternative to Belarus - both connect Poland to Russia

	Kaleb:	Oct 6th, 2009 at 19:54 GMT		1 point
	really cool game!

	Jman14:	Oct 6th, 2009 at 21:26 GMT		0 points
	Techincally, Denmark and Sweden are connected by the Oresund Bridge, so it should be Spain-France-Germany-Denmark

	DRB:	Oct 6th, 2009 at 21:31 GMT		1 point
	Really clever quiz, well done!

	adal:	Oct 6th, 2009 at 22:22 GMT		2 points
	I actually thought about doing this (believe me or not as you please), but you put it into practice, so you win. Good job!

	Grapefruit:	Oct 7th, 2009 at 00:07 GMT		1 point
	Love the quiz. :D

	Yemen to Indonesia, if you actually survive that trip you're lucky lol.

	segacs:	Oct 7th, 2009 at 22:11 GMT		0 points
	I don't see how a bridge between Denmark and Sweden doesn't count, but the Darien Gap (Colombia to Panama) counts.

	CRL1811:	Oct 8th, 2009 at 11:00 GMT		2 points

	poland actually borders russia directly, but that part of russia is not connected to the rest, so it depends on how you judge it, great quiz

	good hustle big man, more please, would make me very a happy boy

	cutlip:	Oct 16th, 2009 at 23:19 GMT		2 points
	Portugal to Sweden across Poland, Belarus, Russia and Finland.. that's some detour right there

Comment below threshold: show it

	ig1234:	Oct 25th, 2009 at 19:22 GMT		4 points
	I don't think the intention was to create a travel guide, I think it was to be the quickest land-border only route accross a continent, not between... weirdo.

	cuendillar:	Oct 26th, 2009 at 14:54 GMT		1 point
	Russia actually has a direct border to Poland from the Kaliningrad enclave. It's as much a part of Russia as Alaska is a part of the USA.

	gaijin32989:	Dec 14th, 2009 at 05:18 GMT		1 point
	I got confused on Europe because Denmark and Sweden are connected by bridge. Much faster than going through the Balkan region! lol

	*Baltic. I fail...

	A_is_for_Addict:	Dec 29th, 2009 at 17:47 GMT		2 points
	Cuendillar, that's true but if one were to go through the Kaliningrad Oblast it would go Poland-Russia-Lithuania-Belarus/Latvia-Russia-Finland/Norway, which would be more countries than Poland-Belarus-Russia-Finland/Norway.
