	With the new format style (where you can't skip) for the quizzes, I think this is a perfect combo with a pic.

	The second Angola had me stumped for a long time... until I just tried random countries that might have extra 'bits'. A pure fluke, had no idea Angola was split up, and also am not sure if I like this (I didn't get far enough, but e.g. would senegal be on both sides of gambia too? slightly different situation). I think you should say 'countries MAY appear twice' in your heading

	My spanish teacher at school mentioned ceuta and melilla so many times that I couldn't help but avoid that pitfall :) Western sahara as a bonus?

	suca:	Mar 10th, 2010 at 10:51 GMT		19 points
	please, accept cote divoire

	Teary_Ennui:	Mar 10th, 2010 at 11:41 GMT		11 points
	Brilliant - can you add it to the Eurasia quiz to form a monster quiz? (just need to accept Cote Divoire and/or Cote d'Ivoire as alt spellings). Not sure about the Spanish enclaves but I sussed it for myself so presumably others will too

	CHART7166:	Mar 10th, 2010 at 18:50 GMT		5 points
	add Cote d'ivoire, it's the official sporcle answer, and stumped me for a solid minute until i tried the english translation.

	psubball1:	Mar 10th, 2010 at 20:32 GMT		4 points
	@LastDamnation: Western Sahara is listed as a bonus as well as a couple others.

	kennechiwa87, technically Africa is not part of Europe in any regard, Spain is part of Europe and Africa.

	Hmm.. maybe you should have the option to skip an answer and go to the next. That way if you get stuck towards the beginning but know most of the rest, you don't have to just quit.

	There are 3 Spanish exclaves on the Moroccan coast; Ceuta, Melilla and Peñón de Vélez de la Gomera. You forgot the 3rd one.

	psubball1:	Jun 20th, 2010 at 23:12 GMT		2 points
	@Jam1: Peñón de Vélez de la Gomera has always been listed as a bonus on this quiz. I left it out because I believe its political status is not the same as Ceuta and Melila (which are autonomous cities). I feel that Peñón de Vélez de la Gomera is really only a territory and not a part of the sovereign state of Spain. Though my interpretation could be wrong.

	EXCELLENT QUIZ, BUT WHY ARE THE INSTRUCTIONS YELLING AT ME?

	skittles:	Sep 13th, 2010 at 09:19 GMT		9 points
	@Hazl - Because it's so very important that you follow them!

	WeaselKing1000:	Sep 13th, 2010 at 15:11 GMT		1 point
	Please accept 'Côte d'Ivoire' with an accent. It's the correct way of spelling it. I'm saying this to all quizzes which don't accept correctly accented answers as valid. Other than that, a very interesting quiz with a few suitably thought-provoking stumbling-blocks. Happy to nominate it!

	teh_DR:	Sep 13th, 2010 at 15:54 GMT		-2 points
	Yeah, awesome quiz... but i have not clue on the geographic situation of countries in Africa so... yeah, didn't do too good. >_>

	@MikeN: Which country is omitted? It's not stupid you rename countries. The directions clearly indicate that you are to travel along the coast. If a country appears twice on said route, it must be repeated.

	Sure it is. It's in Africa. Just like France is a European, South American, and African country. And Russia is both European and Asian. And the U.S. is in North America and Oceania.

	Lovely quiz, great for expanding the knowledge, thanks! perfect time also, finished it with 9 seconds on the clock :)

	Qeu:	Jan 24th, 2013 at 16:11 GMT		2 points
	@Jam1, @psubball1 The Peñón de Vélez de la Gomera is an integral part of Spain. There are no parts of Spain which are overseas territories or somehow have a different status within the state. Surely, Peñón and other places (the so called Plazas Menores de Soberanía: Islas Chafarinas, Islas Alhucemas and the Peñón de Vélez de la Gomera) have a different internal status. The same way Ceuta and Melilla aren't part of any Comunidad Autónoma (Autonomous Region) and they are Ciudades Autónomas (Autonomous Cities). But they are an integral part of Spain. These three Plazas Menores de Soberanía aren't part of any region and it's the government duty to administer and provide for them.

	Enjoyed that. Is it worth noting in the instructions that the quiz goes clockwise? I guess it only takes a couple of guesses to work it out.

	hubbim:	Jan 24th, 2013 at 18:26 GMT		2 points
	Good quiz....I originally thought it's silly to name Senegal twice since it's not technically split up, but if I were kayaking the coast of Africa, I would travel past Senegal (and Angola) twice, so I see your point. One question - why does your highlighted route stop at Cote D'Ivoire/Ghana (big triangle)?

	MovieGuru:	Jan 24th, 2013 at 21:12 GMT		3 points
	I think this would be more fun if there was a "Pass" option where you got the answer wrong, but you could go on

	Re my earlier comment: d'oh just seen the picture. Blocked where I looked before...

	What is the arrow for?

	timjim:	Jan 25th, 2013 at 20:54 GMT		10 points
	Maybe we should have "Around the coast Australia."

	Delicious.

	Uhhh...think you forgot one. Where is East Timor?!? Other than that good quiz man. Good quiz.

	I found the arrow somewhat confusing (at first I just saw a blue dot and orange triangle, and didn't realize it was an arrow). For a similar eurasia/africa combo quiz I made a couple of years ago, see http://www.sporcle.com/games/toucan/eurasiafrica_coastline_countries (hmm, now that I look at that quiz again, looks like it needs updating...) Also, http://www.sporcle.com/games/toucan/americas_coastline

	I got to South Africa and thought "Great I've done the whole East side, now just the West" and the looked to see I was only a quarter of the way through. I enjoyed the bit with Spain and Morocco it was like a typed game of trans-continental ping-pong.
