Why isn't it giving us the correct answers when we hit the give up button?

I don't see why we have to guess them in order. Is it to get more plays?

@cocky Because I was hiding the next answer.
@Grawk I was just testing out a new format for a Geography quiz. After all, the UC section is for testing out new things. I can see that people have mixed feelings though, so I'm going to switch it back to the traditional format.

I tried typing in bosnia and herzegovina, and it didn't work until i removed the 'and' - that might be a typo on my part, but good quiz idea. Can't believe i missed the UK

Works nicely, perfect on time, and hits just the right middle ground for difficulty. Excellent work!

Just my opinion, but since the USA is officially called the United States of America...that should count. And if it f's your quiz up, you should change the quiz.

@rxdrewthejew On Sporcle, the "of America" is typically dropped, just as "Federated States of" is dropped from Micronesia, "People's Republic of" is dropped from China, etc. I'm being consistent with all the other geography quizzes on here.

I dunno man, I see what you're saying, but I think "America" is the operative part as opposed to "United States". But hey...it's your quiz :)

The reason it's dropped is because 'America' is insufficient as a stand alone answer and by the time you've typed in 'United States...' it will have been accepted.

Desperate for the "ING" answer, I couldn't get "Inglaterra" (Spanish for England) out of my head and almost tried it. So close to UK, yet so far!

I love that Narnia is a bonus answer. Picked Marshall Islands for MAR instead of Denmark...Sporclitis. And missed the last two. Not bad.
