Less people missed Djibouti than got Denmark. You don't often see that on Sporcle.

@Oxford Don - I'm not sure how you're playing these quizzes, but I'm pretty sure you're doing it incorrectly.

Could you guys please let me know of any issues with the quiz? I will do my best to fix the problems. The quiz rating has gone down a lot in the last few ratings, but no one is giving me advice.

I clicked on this quiz out of curiosity. After all, all country names are unique! Fun quiz though.

I've added St. Kitts and Nevis and St. Vincent and the Grenadines as bonuses in the "3rd Letter" column. They cannot be actual answers since they are abbreviations.

8 months and 2300+ plays later, I just realized I left off Oman in the Unique 2nd Letters category. I've added it. Surprised no one pointed that out, but I take all the blame!

Got them all first go, thanks in large part no doubt to having done a Sporcle approved quiz where unique last letters was one of the questions. For some reason Ukraine was the only one that caused me any problems.

Ummmm... going by that logic, If "St Kitts and Nevis" and "St Vincent" are bonuses, "UK" should also be. I mean, it is a commonly accepted abbreviation in Sporculture, just like those are...

To add to that... this quiz would still be challenging enough without the order-forcing. It's not like you can get away with naming random countries.

very hard unless you start guessing countries, which I did not. 9 is not bad.

Very interesting that one of the Oman answers has 97% guessed while the other has 12.7%.

One interesting thing this quiz made me notice... the only two countries with X happen to coincidentally have it in the same position, just barely missing their eligibility. Well... one got lucky and got in another way.

And... oh wow, looking at the above comments it seems I took this before it was published and didn't remember... I guess that can be considered Sporclitis B. And it would appear they listened to me, thanks! @AwesumJuan, that would explain what you noticed I guess!

Was complaining all the time during quiz, there's no country that ends in -q. Oh well, who'd have thought. :D This is actually one of the extremely few good alphabet quizzes that keep popping up in geography section (every third published is name countries with these or without these letters etc, kinda boring)

I realized this quiz is played mostly by people with Sporcilitis. How you ask? Because Tuvalu (a country that I'm guessing is not known by the average person in say the US) is guessed more than Pakistan, Denmark, and the Ukraine...sigh...

Why was St. Kitts and Nevis a bonus? It's always written with St. abbreviated so K is the third letter. Which actually means it's not unique since Pakistan's K is in the same position.
