Thanks for the comments everyone, this is my first quiz, I originally had it set for 3 minutes, but trying this out on myself ended up in panic, frantic typing, and spilled coffee resulting in a second degree burn on my leg. Exaggeration yes, but I think the pace is now good at 4. That said, I'm open to more suggestions.

Little mistake: first, you say the Czech Republic shares a 815km border with Germany. Then you say Austria has the largest border with Germany with 784km. How is the Austrian border the longest when the Czech border is longer?

I think 4 minutes is good - I was left with only 3 to go, but had made too many random guesses with Baltic and Balkanic countries. Those who know their geography better should have no problems completing it.

@ Rigga: good catch. I checked the source... which says the border is 815 km on the Czech page and 646 km on the Germany page. Someone should inform the CIA! Nevertheless, I changed it to 646 km; it does look slightly shorter than the Austrian-German border but it remains (albeit with a narrower margin) the Czech Republic's longest border.

Attempting this in order in 4 minutes seems silly. Obviously since it would be pointless to quiz this out of order, I agree that some more time (perhaps just 2 more minutes) should be added for the majority of us who are not so familiar with European geography. Then, at least, we could try some educated guesses while still having to skip a number of countries. (This could be a fun quiz for a lot of people, rather than a few.)

Well, did it with 3 seconds left on the clock. And I pretty much know Europe's map by heart :D (although not the measurements, so I made quite some mistakes in central Europe). I think the time is good, maybe 1 minute extra would be good for most people, but I like it this way nevertheless :)

I know we Americans are the only stubborn country not to adhere to the metric system, but providing miles would also help

I think the time is ok, missed Serbia but I'm much stronger with Asia and Africa than Europe.

The fact that Vatican City is in the bottom 50% and that 93.2% got the UK as Ireland's longest border, but only 60.7% got Ireland as the UK's longest border is proof that this quiz needs more time.

I still had 4 to go, but I really don't think it needs any more time - well, maybe a minute. Good quiz!

Can you slightly restate the quiz? Because by what you wrote, shouldn't Russia be Kazakhstan? And Turkey be Syria?

Was squeezed for time as well, even 1 minute extra would be great. Having to type in (correctly) Bosnia and Herzegovina did not help (especially since I tend to spell the second part with a c instead of a z....).

I enjoyed it - I think the time is perfect. At first I thought this quiz might be lame because of the fact that some countries the border will be the same on (so, I decided to look for doubled distances and do those first) but actually the instances of this were not too many and so the quiz was just the right level of challenging. Well done.

Rom, to me the title implies that the given country is the one in the question, and the answer needs to be a country specifically in Europe.

I understood it as Europe, but it would be clearer if you said, "longest European border." I think it still needs more time.

Did quiz twice. Once without concentrating and too complacent and so ran out of time 75% the way through. Second time finished with 35 seconds to spare. On balance the time seems about right, but it needs to be treated with (more) respect. Africa would be a real challenge.

Great challenge. I agree with others that it needs a little more time. But I still give it 5/5.

I think people forget that 100% is supposed to be a challenge. If you need more time, keep taking it until you're familiar enough with the material to do it faster.

I think the time is fine, but I'd suggest hiding the lengths until the end - if two countries' longest borders are the same lengths, it's a pretty big clue that each one of them is going to be the answer for the other!

I was typing my last answer when time expired. I misunderstood the quiz and thought that a non-European country could be an answer for Russia. You know what they say, always read directions carefully.
