	Some of these are tough, others really easy. I stupidly slipped up with Libya/Liberia having a feeling that what I was typing was going to be wrong. Quite a good quiz. On my second attempt I slipped up on Haiti/Dominican Republic.

	I don't think a wrong answer should end the quiz; I think you should set it up so you just get that one question wrong.

	Blowfish_Hootie:	Jun 27th, 2011 at 15:50 GMT		40 points
	Yeah, there's no reason for this to end when you miss a question.

	checkers:	Jun 27th, 2011 at 16:43 GMT		11 points
	Also, could you make it so that the right answer shows up in red?

	Fun. Got to Japan or SK, failed. HOW COULD I THINK THAT SK HAS MORE PEOPLE THAN JAPAN????

	yet another quiz where the format would be much better as just telling the user they got it wrong and letting them continue.

	nyo:	Jun 27th, 2011 at 19:54 GMT		8 points
	It´s a nice idea for a quiz but I really hate this format.

	Make the quiz go to the end so we can see how many we got wrong. It's annoying to keep playing to game to find it out.

	This quiz would be nice if a wrong answer didn't end the quiz

	You should make the last one Niger versus Nigeria.

	cbspence21:	Jun 28th, 2011 at 02:34 GMT		7 points
	Agree with everyone about a wrong answer shouldn't end the game especially since some wrong answers aren't wrong (at least according to Wikipedia), Dominican Republic has 57,000 more people than Haiti.

	@srobert: But Nigeria and Niger is extremely easy. 1/6 of everyone living on the African continent is in Nigeria. Niger doesn't come close to that.

	phibbyfan:	Jun 28th, 2011 at 06:50 GMT		6 points
	@Rhys: Anyone who plays continuously for the sole purpose of getting a 100% is lame anyway, and it's still possible to do that with this format. I don't need to get all of them right, but I'd like to do the whole quiz to test myself...

	austintyler225:	Jun 28th, 2011 at 06:54 GMT		5 points
	I agree, change it so that you just get that answer wrong, instead of ending the quiz and having to do it again to advance further

	hetisjeboy:	Jun 28th, 2011 at 09:14 GMT		16 points
	@phibbyfan: I think you don't understand the cynicism in @srobert's comment... You can't type Nigeria without typing Niger so nobody could get the last answer right

Mauritania is spelled incorrectly in the game, though shows up correctly when typed. Great concept though.

	@smike: Wikipedia lists Haiti's 2011 population estimate at 9,719,932 and Dominican Republic's 2009 population estimate at 10,090,000.

	It might be better to make a "mine/wrong answer ends it" quiz in such a way that you don't have to answer each question in order, instead you could come back to a tough one.

	steelnation86:	Jun 29th, 2011 at 03:49 GMT		3 points
	There is absolutely no reason to have a wrong answer end the quiz.

	@jackmerlin: No, you would still get it wrong. It would just allow you to move on to the next question.

	@mistakenblood If u look at the source which is wikipedia.... Haiti: 10,085,214 Dominican republic:9,378,818 Both 2010. Which country has more people?

	richie_geo:	Jul 1st, 2011 at 02:30 GMT		-1 points
	I have confused!! My hands sweaty! Good thing I end in PNG (Papua New Guinea), I accidentally answer NZ (New Zealand)! Many confusal quiz to me. I better do well next time!!

	pdu:	Jul 1st, 2011 at 08:36 GMT		8 points
	Shouldn't end the quiz on a wrong answer. Absolutely no fun, since you really can't know them all. Looks to me like you are hunting for Plays.

	Saints09:	Jul 1st, 2011 at 20:56 GMT		-1 points
	Similar to one of my games except sports

	How do you make the right answer pop up when you get a question wrong?

	Giantsgiants:	Jul 8th, 2011 at 07:51 GMT		2 points
	When I type St. Vincent for the St. Kitts, St. Lucia, St. Vincent question, the quiz ends even though it's correct. What are the questions after that one?

	Giantsgiants:	Jul 9th, 2011 at 10:19 GMT		1 point
	@inomu: Want a hint? The country's capital is Manama. And for the St Kitts question, I got it correct by typing the name of the country whose capital is Castries.

	The Haiti/DR thing seems tricky. Depending where you look on Wikipedia (at the list of countries by population, or at the pages for each country?) and in what language (I checked in English, French, and Spanish) you can get different population estimates. Some of these say Haiti has more people, some say the DR has more people. So @cbspence21, @Mistakenblood, and @smike are all correct: Wikipedia clearly states that the DR has more people than Haiti, and Wikipedia clearly states that Haiti has more people than the DR.

	Played 3 times. Got a little further each time, but that's it. I'm not going to play it 50 times just so I can see the last questions on the list.

	ok phibbyfan, so maybe I am lame. I played 35 times and finally got them all correct. But I do this not to stroke my ego, but because I come on sporcle to learn. Anyone who sees my stats will see that I play several (about half) the games I play more than once. But I do love this format. Having to go back and back helps me to remember. And I need help in the memory department, because I am an old man and memory is the third thing to go!!! Great quiz, but please do correct the spelling of mauritania. I used up three tries because stupid me didn't realize it was misspelled...I just thought it was a country I hadn't heard of.
