	^How to be most impractical getting from Lesotho to Botswana.

	I was doing great. Then I hit the Indian Ocean islands.

	Love the quiz, except for the minefield aspect. If you miss one (especially pretty far on) it's tedious to restart and click on the same countries again. Also makes the stats less interesting -- it's harder to see which countries are most likely to trip people up. Would you consider making it a non-minefield?

	mrsmith:	Nov 5th, 2012 at 06:41 GMT		5 points
	Happy to make it non-minefield if that's what people prefer. What do others think?

	legriff:	Nov 5th, 2012 at 10:47 GMT		2 points
	I like the minefield aspect - I found that after a couple of mistakes, I hardly needed the map because I was visualizing it. My one quibble would be that the arrow coming from the west points clearly to Senegal, when it's meant to go to the Gambia.

	Qwerty3000:	Nov 5th, 2012 at 12:46 GMT		3 points
	Because this is in the clickable format, a non-minefield would not work as well because if you missed one, you would just have to skip to the next one.

	mrsmith:	Nov 5th, 2012 at 15:47 GMT		4 points
	Good point about the Senegal arrow - I'll try and tweak it. Why does Gambia have to be so skinny!!! I like the minefield way of doing it, as it makes you keep repeating till you complete it, so better for memorisation. I couldn't do it perfectly the first 5 times I tried it myself, but have got all those West African countries in the right order in my head now.

	JayZed:	Nov 5th, 2012 at 21:18 GMT		14 points
	Nice. My only quibble would be that the map you've used shows Western Sahara separate from Morocco, which might trip some people up.

	Ubbiebubbie:	Nov 6th, 2012 at 00:11 GMT		4 points
	Even though I didn't do to well, I feel this was quite well constructed, will be well received and should get a Curator Pick.

	Stillwater100:	Nov 6th, 2012 at 05:30 GMT		7 points
	I like this quiz a lot, but I agree with JayZed on Western Sahara. I spent a bit of time double checking all the choices just to make sure it wasn't there. Maybe just include a note in the instructions saying that Western Sahara isn't an option & to skip over it when you come to it.

	namehere:	Nov 7th, 2012 at 06:15 GMT		2 points
	Don't know if this is at all possible, but it might be nice if the image and the choices were somehow in the same frame. Once you get to the second half of the quiz you've got the map in your head for the most part, but it's frustrating to have to keep checking and re-checking the route in the beginning. Just a thought. Otherwise, great quiz!!

	mrsmith:	Nov 7th, 2012 at 15:18 GMT		2 points
	Have tried to find a way of sorting it out without scrolling, but can't do it, sadly. Sure it will be possible eventually, but for the time being, I'm stumped!

	ankitj:	Jan 27th, 2013 at 15:26 GMT		1 point
	Fairly easy with the map, especially.

	paulimming:	Mar 1st, 2013 at 19:38 GMT		2 points
	How come it only takes "DRC" for Democratic Republic of the Congo?

	mrsmith:	Mar 1st, 2013 at 20:53 GMT		1 point
	Sorry - it was set to accept Democratic Republic of Congo but I'd missed out the 'the'. Have put that in as an option now so should work.

Comment below threshold: show it

	thanks for not making it a minefield!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

	Lovenkrands:	Mar 2nd, 2013 at 02:05 GMT		4 points
	Like it, glad it's not a minefield. Through sporcle I've learned all the countries, but I don't know where all of them are on a map. Good to learn that way, and now I want them for the other continents as well. Bring on Europe and Asia.

	ostemanden:	Mar 2nd, 2013 at 11:42 GMT		3 points
	Should accept, Sao tome & Principe !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! not only "and"

	shakescene:	Mar 3rd, 2013 at 04:35 GMT		2 points
	When you say "start at the arrow", perhaps you could specify that to "start at the large blue arrow". I started at the orange directional arrow by Cape Verde, then noticed there was another arrow off the mainland. Not everyone's screen is big enough to see the whole map at first resolution (eventually I shrank it enough).

	hubbim:	Mar 3rd, 2013 at 22:40 GMT		2 points
	thank you for making this possible for someone who cannot type and has to constantly re-adjust the screen to go from map to type-box to still complete it in first try!! good quiz.

	GreatScott:	Mar 4th, 2013 at 18:13 GMT		2 points
	Must've been fun trying to figure out that route! I could see it taking days.... yay, to looking at a map for days! : )

	Not even ibn battuta would bother to walk that far

	MickeyPearly:	Mar 15th, 2013 at 23:55 GMT		1 point
	Is there a way you can tweak it so it only goes through each country once yet it doesnt go through Western Sahara?

	BuonragazzoJr:	Mar 22nd, 2013 at 19:37 GMT		1 point
	I was feeling great after getting through the Indian Ocean islands and then directly afterwards I went to Cape Verde, but I couldn't figure out why it wasn't working...oh right, I skipped Sao Tome and Principe.
