	You should use the Sporcle standard Timor-Leste and accept East Timor as an alternate. Otherwise, interesting quiz!

	I'll add it yeah! Totally forgot about that, cheers! :-)

	I have to think what double land locked means.

	oracleofireland:	Jul 21st, 2011 at 17:00 GMT		1 point
	"Doubly-Landlocked" is actually an official geographical term and means that from the said country, you have to cross at least two borders to reach a coastline. There are only two such countries in the world and so they asked above in the quiz. :-)

	@Davidos; done! thanks :-)

	I like the concept and the quiz, but I think you could do better than the 6 countries between 8 and 9 million people. It just seems a little too unfair. The other eight categories test if you know something; that tests how good you are at guessing countries that are around a certain population. It's just a little too arbitrary. Otherwise, I really like this.

	oracleofireland:	Jul 21st, 2011 at 19:54 GMT		1 point
	Yeah - I was 50/50 as to whether I should include it! :P Thanks for the comment though, next time I don't think I'll pick an arbitrary category :-)

	The Caspian Sea is longer than Tanganyika.

	oracleofireland:	Jul 21st, 2011 at 21:36 GMT		1 point
	The Caspian Sea is the largest lake but Tanganyika is definitely the longest freshwater lake according to my sources.

	^^ just to source: http://www.zambiatourism.com/travel/places/tanganyi.htm

	The plates category is more geology than geography. Not sure if that matters, but it seems like it doesn't quite fit.

	oracleofireland:	Jul 22nd, 2011 at 08:54 GMT		2 points
	It is more geology, but the plates are a significant part of so-called 'Physical Geography', the population and people part being referred to as 'Human Geography'. It's a broad spectrum subject. :-)

	^^ also here's a definitive explanation; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geography#Branches

	BoomRShine:	Jul 22nd, 2011 at 15:11 GMT		1 point
	I agree with koopa08, the Caspian Sea is longer than Tanganyika.

	oracleofireland:	Jul 22nd, 2011 at 15:51 GMT		2 points
	Half the sources say Caspian and half say Tanganyika. Thus, I'll accept Caspian as an answer. I wish the internet had a definitive answer :-). Thanks BoomrShine for the comment.

	BoomRShine:	Jul 22nd, 2011 at 16:45 GMT		3 points
	The issue probably comes down to "what is a lake"? Some sources consider the Caspian Sea a lake, others a sea, and others even a small ocean.

	oracleofireland:	Jul 22nd, 2011 at 17:04 GMT		2 points
	True - it's a bit ambiguous due to those definitions. For sake of simplicity, I'll keep Caspian Sea instead of Tanganyika. :-)
