	Nice quiz, but I'd get rid of Greenland as an answer. It's an island, so it doesn't really qualify as mainland.

	Right about Greenland, it is the largest island, but I guess it is an island nonetheless, however.. I excluded Key West, a man-made bridge doesn't qualify Key West as part of the mainland.

	Easy

	Like the idea. Please accept USA as well as US - I must have typed it too quickly (well, there is a first time for everything!) and it wouldn't accept USA.

	If somewhere was part of the mainland then I would suggest you wouldn't need a bridge to get there.

	194 kilometers Cuba to Mexico mainland. ~210 kilometers to Florida mainland. I put it in there as a last but difficult question.

	I think there's too much time, I'd hack off about a minute or so...

	Accept USA. Also inaccuracies here exist.

	Kiribati--Ireland isn't on the mainland.

	I count mainland as somewhere with more than one country, though can see that many people don't

	That makes no sense... the island of Timor is mainland? St. Thomas? You can't make up your own definitions for words.

	I like this quiz, but I would definitely cut down the time. I would also strongly suggest rephrasing the title/instructions (for example, 'the closest mainland country' rather than 'country of the closest mainland') so that it's clear what you're looking for and sounds like standard English.
