	accept Timor Leste since that's its proper name.

	I think this quiz would work better if you didn't have to answer each part individually. There's no real reason to make each one be answered at a time, and it would save the confusion of whether East Timor is before Indonesia or whether Timor-Leste is after.

	What about St. Martin (France/Netherlands), and the UK's Sovereign Base Areas on Cyprus?

	Thank you for the comments. Cantthinkofaname, I made the fix, I can't believe I screwed that up. Kangrui, let me think about that, and ask the opinion of a couple of friends, my thought would be that that would make it even easier. Magareto, my thought was that the quiz would be countries sharing an island, not islands shared by countries, if that makes sense. Again, let me ask a few friends.

	You could also include Ireland as the island is shared by Ireland and the UK.

	Thanks sconeyj...I am beginning to realize I put this quiz up too soon...my apologies to everyone...I mean sometimes there will be typos and maybe a problem or two...but I recognize that this one contains several basic problems that are a result of not having thought it through more.

	thanks again to everyone. I decided to add St Martin, but not the bases on Cyprus and Cuba, since they are leased. Hope this meets your approval.

	popestcyril - Guantanamo Bay is leased, but Akrotiri & Dhekelia are sovereign British land according to treaty, as such they are referred to as "Sovereign Base Areas"

	Usedom is shared between Germany and Poland, Isla Grande de Tierra del Fuego is shared between Argentina and Chile, Kataja and Market are shared by Finland and Sweden, Kioluoto is shared by Russia and Finland, Sebatik island is shared between Indonesia and Malaysia. These are the ones I can think of off the top of my head as missed. Maybe allow Saint Martin/Sint Maarten to be answers for Saint Martin (it looks obvious, but it should be a correct answer since Saint Martin isn't part of France proper). I think diving may be correct regarding Akrotiri and Dhekelia - they're not in the same situation as Guantanamo. I would rework the quiz - have the hints as a list of islands shared by a country e.g. "Timor, New Guinea, Sebatik and Borneo" would be the hint for Indonesia. This way there would be no repeated answers, and the quiz just looks a bit cleaner. To cover for Northern Cyprus you could star and footnote it as a disputed territory.

	Thanks to diving and A_is_for_Addict. And A, what a great idea. I think I'll take the game off line later tonight and rework it that way.

	Well, lets give it one more whirl. I am truly grateful to all who made suggestions and critiques. Hopefully they led to the creation of a better quiz. As always, I am open to hearing your opinions.

	Perhaps one day my country (Canada) & Denmark will be able to peaceably settle on Hans Island in the arctic & draw a boundary right down the middle of it as it should be. Then that could be added to the quiz...

	Well, you might consider following the example of Her Majesty's government dealing with the Falklands! I for one would support such an initiative. We children of the Crown, present and former, have to stick together. God Save the Queen!
