	I thought I was all smart for knowing about Cape Reinga. Now I find out it's only second northernmost.

	I liked it except for the 'typical NZ stereotype'... I'm a Kiwi and didn't think of that.

	Lol yeah I think it's tough answering stereotype when you're a Kiwi. I tell you though i'm pissed i couldn't name the open-side flanker hahah

	Accept NZD or NZ$ for New Zealand Dollar.

	How come this quiz is such a mess compared to all your others? I dont get the reasoning behind the layout or being forced to answer in order and some of these questions no one should EVER know about. eg. NZs next top model. Ive met her. She went to my school ball last year. pretty arrogant, and this quiz just encourages it! haha. The colours also seem pretty irrelevant too

	New Zealand is also in the eastern hemisphere.

	It accepted "Maori" as the sterotype, changing it to "pretty cool". XD

	"94% of people in jail in New Zealand are.... " I thought the answer was guilty.

	Technically, AO means cloud, TEA means white and ROA means long, so AOTEAROA means "long, white cloud", not "The land of" the long white cloud. NZ isn't in a continent. Oceania is a region. Enjoyed the quiz though.

I love that as a country we have an affiliation to a cookbook... I think I got a copy of edmond's cookery book for my 11th birthday. Im also pleased to hear that we're "pretty cool"... I was expecting "sheep-shagger"
