Source: Wikipedia
Name the 10 most populous countries on each continent/Oceania WITHOUT setting off the MINE by naming #11-20. No leniency on this one, decided to make it a little more of a challenge.
NOTES - Only the regular 196 Sporcle sovereign states used. Russia and Turkey were split based on approximate populations on each continent. I chose Wikipedia as the page there consolidates the most current estimates from various sources very well. Populations include integral parts of each sovereign state. Any instances where typing in a MINE country which is required to type to fill in an answer is forgiven.

	You left out Turkey!!

	darinh:	Jun 14th, 2011 at 16:43 GMT	3 points
	Turkey was split by population on each continent and came in #11 in Asia and #18 in Europe - was written in description.

	drat, forgot to read in note and lost on turkey

	@freaky: Wiki simply consolidates some very solid sources in this case, such as current UN estimates and newest census estimates, so I used it for this quiz.

	rudyfernandez5:	Jun 15th, 2011 at 22:56 GMT	7 points
	Is there any way to see the ones we missed, because that's the one thing I don't like about the mine quizzes, since part of the fun is seeing what you left out.

	darinh:	Jun 16th, 2011 at 02:18 GMT	2 points
	@rudy: unforunately not - when you choose the option to have wrong answers end a quiz that automatically makes the unguessed ones show up as "???" - maybe Sporcle will add an option to change that sometime.

	AngrySi:	Jun 16th, 2011 at 14:58 GMT	4 points
	Ignore the grumbles, darinh - top notch quiz, well done.

	redsxfenway:	Jun 16th, 2011 at 15:43 GMT	1 point
	Out on number 11, Greece; pretty painful.

	conradmcmasters:	Jun 18th, 2011 at 16:26 GMT	11 points
	How come the parts of France that aren't in Europe counted in French population, but the countries like Turkey and Russia split up between continents?

	Terrorists think BOOM! about all these countries.

	SeaShellHat:	Jun 21st, 2011 at 14:40 GMT	3 points
	Great quiz! It would be awesome to have a version where a wrong guess would only blow you up for that continent, and you could keep guessing on the others.

	Stewart:	Jun 24th, 2011 at 23:19 GMT	2 points
	Dang, blown up by Turkey...teach me not to read the notes.

	cuendillar:	Jun 27th, 2011 at 15:03 GMT	7 points
	Thought Australia, accidentally typed Austria. facepalm

	johnlk:	Jul 3rd, 2011 at 02:58 GMT	15 points
	I love how any quiz that uses wikipedia as a source will automatically attract somebody to attack it as not accurate enough, but nobody ever complains about far more dubious internet sites that are just as problematic but don't cite any sources at all (World-Gazetteer.com, I'm looking in your direction). Wikipedia is perfectly fine - it's usually right, and more likely to be right than a whole lot of internet sources nobody ever complains about.

	benperkins5:	Jul 4th, 2011 at 18:25 GMT	2 points
	great quiz, lost of #11 Marshall Islands

	domotime2:	Jul 9th, 2011 at 23:05 GMT	3 points
	what's the source on the split of turkey? why not just designate turkey for a continent?

	HiddenPalace:	Jul 19th, 2011 at 20:11 GMT	3 points
	I think the idea of splitting populations in such a way is a bad idea.

	TheRabidRabbit:	Jul 31st, 2011 at 16:31 GMT	2 points
	USA - Mexico - Canada - Cuba - Jamaica - BOOM!

	When I type "Sudan," the "Safe..." appears, but nothing else does. I believe it should be #10 for Africa, am I correct? I have tried every single African country (it took about 10 minutes of my time) and nothing seems to fill #10 for Africa. Furthermore, in the stats, only 0.3% of people have guessed that box correctly, indicating that you may have spelled the answer wrong, meaning that very few people get it. Please double check the answer for #10 on Africa. Thank you very much! Otherwise, very fun quiz!

	XYlophonetreeZ:	Dec 18th, 2011 at 07:35 GMT	1 point
	Adding to AAJP's comment above, typing "Uganda" ends the quiz and it tells you that it's #11, but it shows up in the answer slot for #10 nonetheless.

	nsxdarin:	Dec 18th, 2011 at 10:58 GMT	1 point
	fixed the Uganda/Sudan issue...thx.

	debbiedoesnothin:	Dec 18th, 2011 at 22:44 GMT	4 points
	Darn it - I couldn't remember island nations count as Asia and which are Oceania.

	marpocky:	Dec 19th, 2011 at 00:20 GMT	0 points
	If you're splitting Russia/Turkey, why not count Hawaii for Oceania?

	batmann:	Dec 19th, 2011 at 00:36 GMT	8 points
	Sudan...ffffffffffffffuuuuu

	chriskotx:	Dec 19th, 2011 at 07:42 GMT	1 point
	Oh foo on the Turkey thing.

	Ulkomaalainen:	Dec 21st, 2011 at 12:31 GMT	1 point
	@jackmerlin: any specifics where the populations are "way out"? Especially in cases which matter?

	dipayanban:	Dec 24th, 2011 at 02:13 GMT	2 points
	Now I hate Sudan.

	nsxdarin:	Jan 4th, 2012 at 18:51 GMT	3 points
	updated 1/4/12 with newer population totals...top ten's did not change for any continent however.

	Hako:	Jan 25th, 2012 at 21:30 GMT	0 points
	But the European population of Russia surely isn't 142 Million. It must be around 100-105 Million, so it still would be on the same place.

	nsxdarin:	Jan 26th, 2012 at 03:00 GMT	1 point
	@Hako - oops put the total for Europe, changed it.

	Fusty:	Feb 8th, 2012 at 20:06 GMT	1 point

	Somalia does not give a hit nor does it trigger a bomb... please fix

	darinh:	Mar 5th, 2012 at 02:38 GMT	1 point
	@themightyone: it's cause Somalia is lower than #20 - please read the rules.

	Evil44:	Mar 5th, 2012 at 19:39 GMT	2 points
	Loved the quiz! Oceania #8 needs a comma instead of a period (makes it consistent with the others).

	TCAT513:	Mar 5th, 2012 at 20:38 GMT	0 points
	If there are six continents and ten countries per countinent, how many does that make? Did he do this on purpose or am I missing something?

	Cheeselord:	Mar 7th, 2012 at 19:59 GMT	2 points
	I If possible, i would prefer it if it said the number of the country you got wrong at the top of that continent's list. I thought '

	awesomesauce314:	Mar 7th, 2012 at 23:15 GMT	2 points
	@gummi: The biggest city in Turkey is in Europe and Yekaterinburg is in Asia, the countries are very split.
