Nice quiz! Come July 9, 2011, there's going to be a big change in Africa lineup as Sudan loses 619,745 km2 to Southern Sudan and drops down to 3rd place after Algeria and DRC.

Turkey should probably be starred also

@adeutsch107: Yes, you're right if the asterisk means that the country lies in more than one continent. No, if it just means that the country is used again in the quiz, since only Russia is used twice. Turkey is used only once.

The part of Turkey in Europe is actually tiny; most of it is in Asia. I would remove it from the Europe list. The thing about Russia is that the part in Europe is larger than any other country in Europe, and the part in Asia is larger than any other country in Asia. So it makes sense to include Russia on the Europe and Asia lists.

@TimeAndTide: that's a good argument. Helps to explain why Kazakhstan should not be included in Europe too.

Good quiz! I'd reduce the time though, 2 to 3 minutes I'd say.

Sudan should be in third for Africa now, shouldn't it? Good quiz though, the time really caught me out.
