One quick additional note: I accept The Gambia under G since that is what it is accepted as in the
Country per Letter
quiz (http://www.sporcle.com/games/Wizzle/countries_inaminute).

Great quiz. I somehow managed to blank on I until the very end, then felt pretty dumb. 5 globes

I was desperately searching my mind for a countries that began with r or i and ended with a. I pulled Rwanda out of a hat but was stuck on i. I was thinking "Iraq, Iran, Italy, Iceland...what the hell is it?!" When I saw the answer I literally did the palm-face thing everyone on Sporcle talks about. For that alone I give you a 5/5.

Great quiz! Only thing I would say is I could have used an extra minute, but maybe that's just me and my slow typing! =)

I apparently have Tom Hanks on my mind because the first answer I thought of for K was Krakozhia. It would be a funny bonus answer, but I bet no one else would think of it, or realize it's not a real country as they attempted to spell it!

@ajhoward What about them? North Korea is under 'N', and South Korea is under 'S'.

fun quiz, and just the right amount of time! I thought you missed "Dominica", but I was just spelling it wrong.

I got stuck on D for a while, and was hoping the "Democratic People's Republic of Korea" would bail me out :-). Finally figured it out.

Only missed three, and they were all ones where there was only one answer. Interesting.

@JonnyWalker To answer your question, no it wasn't really necessary. I put the third column of all 'A's in there mostly for aesthetic purposes. For those interested, here is the complete set of answers to the quiz:

Good quiz. B and T had me stumped for a few seconds, but evenutally got them all with about 30 seconds to spare. Thought I wouldnt do it that fast. You should accept Yugoslavia as a bonus (since it doesnt exist anymore)

The time for this definitely needs to be 1 minute. Also, I think it would look nicer if you showed more than one country for the letters that have more than one answer.

This is one quiz where knowing many of the countries in the African continent is really useful. One minute might be a bit tight; short times like that are usually for puzzles that are just about getting the information down rather than having to work them out. daanii, you've probably forgotten that Pretoria is a city, not a country.

I don't think the time needs to be shortened. One minute only gives you three seconds per letter, not a lot of time to think and then type a country.

Good quiz, perfect amount of time. Not too hard but definitely made me think. Denmarka? No. Pakistana? No.
