	Great idea for a quiz, fairly hard to visualise but who likes easy quizzes?

	tjconn728:	Mar 22nd, 2010 at 14:52 GMT	3 points
	Cool idea, and although I never say this, it could probably use another minute or two.

	AlexRandom:	Mar 22nd, 2010 at 19:15 GMT	0 points
	Very cool idea. I was susrpised that the SW line didn't touch South America.

	Onno:	Mar 22nd, 2010 at 20:58 GMT	1 point
	Nice idea. I tried Niger, and it turns out that it is awfully close to 13.65 N, 13.65 E - but it nearly misses.

	Pit_trout:	Mar 23rd, 2010 at 02:56 GMT	1 point
	@jnhickson: eh... I like easy quizzes occasionally, and certainly needed them when I was a less experienced/addicted Sporcle newcomer! But it's great to have hard quizzes like this one as well :-)

	photogirl:	Mar 23rd, 2010 at 05:41 GMT	5 points
	This is a great quiz, but I definitely needed more time (uh-oh! automatic comment downgrade!). I could get the African clusters, but time ran out before I could even touch on the other countries.

	Sneuticles:	Mar 23rd, 2010 at 06:15 GMT	7 points
	I agree, maybe 4-5 minutes total would be nice. That being said, this is one of the all-time great quizzes in terms of a single, very simple conceit that is somehow very mentally stimulating and challenging.

	micah:	Mar 23rd, 2010 at 06:29 GMT	3 points
	Excellent. My one suggestion is that, if you can manage it, you should give the full range of possible coordinates for each country, instead of just one that happens to work.

	Apollo846:	Mar 23rd, 2010 at 07:17 GMT	1 point
	I agree with the others - a few more minutes would be nice

	thedpr:	Mar 23rd, 2010 at 11:09 GMT	2 points
	OK, I've bumped it up to 4 minutes. Thanks for all the comments!

	bogger:	Mar 23rd, 2010 at 21:10 GMT	2 points
	4 minutes was ideal, great quiz!

	Unidentifiedkiwi:	Mar 24th, 2010 at 05:48 GMT	1 point
	I would look into micah's suggestion, but otherwise this quiz was excellent- requires a lot of strategy. Editor's Pick'd!

	thedpr:	Mar 24th, 2010 at 11:34 GMT	1 point
	I'll see what I can do with that when I get some time. Trouble is that, for some countries, the line enters and leaves the country multiple times.

	Lighthouse:	Mar 24th, 2010 at 22:53 GMT	1 point
	I started off thinking it was impossible to do in 4 minutes and had i think russia and canada with 2 minutes left but then it suddenly clicked that you would draw a cross on the earth from 0,0 and it alll made sense, still didnt get them all though :( nominated

	gnatural:	Mar 26th, 2010 at 15:21 GMT	1 point
	Love this quiz. Current time is great. Once you get a toehold somewhere, it's very possible to work your way diagonally into other countries.

	ostroffj:	Mar 27th, 2010 at 07:13 GMT	1 point
	Thought this would be too hard, but the answers build nicely on each other. I blame nonconcavity for my missing Kazakhstan.

	thedpr:	Mar 27th, 2010 at 13:23 GMT	4 points
	Lat/Long ranges are in.

	Squiffy:	Mar 28th, 2010 at 16:43 GMT	1 point
	Awesomely hard - thought I would be scoring 0 until I hit one at random and then elongated the axes. Missed the three least guessed though. You need a lot of lateral thinking!

	Fidelio:	Mar 29th, 2010 at 00:46 GMT	1 point
	Great quiz; nominated. It's rare you find a geography quiz that's completely different from any other one you've taken.

	HER:	Apr 6th, 2010 at 13:55 GMT	1 point
	Ugh, it's frustrating when I get all the small ones that are least guessed (Lesotho, Cote d'Ivoire) and miss the large, very obvious ones like Chad and Niger. I kept going over Africa in my head blatantly skipping over the middle region of northern Africa. D'oh!

	MorningBell411:	Apr 8th, 2010 at 23:44 GMT	1 point
	I like the way it makes you think of countries that are central, but not too central (longitude-wise)...

	randomhandle:	May 9th, 2010 at 18:32 GMT	1 point
	It's Cote d'Ivoire, not Cote D'Ivoire. But great quiz - I couldn't visualize the line. :P

	segacs:	Jun 23rd, 2010 at 03:52 GMT	1 point
	Awesome quiz! But needs another couple of minutes.

	mein_caps:	Feb 25th, 2011 at 16:18 GMT	1 point
	Damn it, they are in order!!! I wish I'd figured that out with more than 10 seconds left on the clock.
