Fun twist on the "country names that contain..." category! I think Rihanna's home country belongs on here, though... even so, kudos to you for all the work that went into putting this together (by which I mean that this does not seem easily done with a spreadsheet)!

Oh boy, thank you for pointing that out. In fixing that I actually stumbled across a few others that also needed to be added to the list (yikes!). Thank you for the kind words, also.

My mind while taking this quiz: OK, so think of long names... OK, Liechtenstein is long... no double "EN", and no double "IE" either, do so that's not an answer. Antigua and Barbuda... names don't have similar endings... so that's not an answer either. Of course, this resulted in a few facepalms at the end of the quiz.

Great job. Personally I'd like to see the letter combos given ahead of time (and then reduced time), but it's good the way it is as well.

I'm not proud of this, but at the last moment I may or may not have resorted to "Bangladesh...stan".
