	It's amazing how people (like me) end up getting the small countries and missing bigger ones. Seeing R____A makes everyone think "RWANDA" and completely forget Russia (as I did). Similarly, I got Sudan, but missed both Sweden and Spain! Doh!

	Really good game, I felt much better when I saw the stats and realised how many other people had also forgotten Spain!

	Freaking Côte d'Ivoire! This isn't the first time my English only mindset has made me miss that answer.

	Rwanda, the #1 answer. Sporcleitis at its finest.

	Too early for South Sudan? It appears that trio is broken by a new member. And was I the only one that started seeing faces from the repeated appearance of two letters separated by a long underscore P_____P

	Why is the sample image Nirvana?

	I like the island trio. On the other hand, S______N keeps making me think "stan"...grr.

	@All I made two other versions of this. One for the ones that make pairs that match: http://www.sporcle.com/games/sproutcm/USA_Uganda_Not And one for the less interesting ones that have sets of 4 or more, but most of them end in A so it isn't as much fun. http://www.sporcle.com/games/sproutcm/you_like_to_end_in_a_ok_i_get_it

	Fun quiz. Devilishly tricky. Could probably stand to have another minute added.

	I got Tajikistan, Bahrain, Cote d'Ivoire, and Mauritius, only to miss Spain.Humbled again.

	Berubium:	Apr 8th, 2011 at 17:47 GMT		1 point
	Great quiz. Very impressive that Rwanda is the most guessed answer at this point. Makes me just that much more embarrased that I forgot it... :S

	Once again my awful spelling hurt me.

	Thank you for the illusion that all that time on the "alphabetical countries" quiz was indeed worthwhile.

	ChileNoseJam:	Apr 8th, 2011 at 22:06 GMT		-2 points
	I think the order should be randomised - alphabetical is too much of a clue.

	mccabebabe:	Apr 8th, 2011 at 23:53 GMT		3 points
	oh for heaven's sakes.... I get Rwanda and Romania and missed Russia. Aargh

	pakersuga:	Apr 9th, 2011 at 04:06 GMT		1 point
	Definitely thought through the Pacific island nations and bypassed Marshall Islands because I'm so used to typing Republic of the Marshall Islands to make sure I get it.

	HectorVortac:	Apr 9th, 2011 at 05:16 GMT		1 point
	Sporcleitis. I'm with mccabe and scaramuccia; got Tajikistan and Maldives but missed Russia.

	I thought this Quiz was going to be about country music based on the picture. Ya, I think I'll use that as my excuse for why I got Owned.

	Guess which one I missed on R______A

	msk105:	Apr 10th, 2011 at 14:54 GMT		4 points
	Nice quiz! I seem to really have been on a roll when I've done this before, as it says my best score is 23/21! Don't know what happened there, but I'll take it!

	I thought I was doing pretty well, only to discover I missed Spain and Sweden.
