	Nifty how you can sort of follow a path from the wrong answers to the right ones. "Angola doesn't work? Must be something smaller nearby. How about Namibia? Nope, gotta be something smaller bordering that too. Botswana? A-ha!"

	Excellent quiz. I totally agree with kcostell on this one.

	Awesome quiz. Just a quibble, the proper name is The Gambia. I know it's weird, but...

	One slight flaw is how it pretty much gifts you Mauritania when you put Morocco. Other than that, a fun but challenging quiz.

	Sjoerd:	Aug 18th, 2010 at 09:14 GMT	9 points
	Yeah, nice. Continent and population makes it doable.

	AriesLA:	Aug 18th, 2010 at 09:19 GMT	3 points
	I think it needs more time.

	finesse:	Aug 18th, 2010 at 09:55 GMT	7 points
	curse you, Kyrgyzstan...! Fancy not even trying it; and yet - i was not alone!

	RJMurphy:	Aug 18th, 2010 at 10:20 GMT	2 points
	Morocco hint is handy for one answer. I got the two least guessed, which is quite nice to know. Shame less than 39% got kyrgyzstan :(

	please can you add about 1 minute? thanks.

	I always thought I was a master of Kyrgyzstan, but damn it, I've probably misspelled it three times in this quiz :D Nice game ;)

	Not a huge fan of Geography quizzes lately. Not because the quizzes are bad, but because I rarely score in the high percentile. Seems like everyone on this site is a Geography master.

	Big props to tjconn728 for putting this quiz together. It's my guess that it would be difficult to find a programmatic way of finding these countries, so I imagine you did it by hand. That probably took a bit of time!

	tdb:	Aug 18th, 2010 at 13:12 GMT	-3 points
	could of used a couple more minutes

	Great quiz!

	@Matthewconte: US is not on the list because it is larger than Canada. Mexico is not on the list than Guatemala and Belize. I think the question should be phrased "Can you name the countries of the world that have a lesser population than ALL THE COUNTRIES they share a land border with?"

	I feel really stupid because of the surprise I felt when I realised, upon completion of the quiz, that you weren't asking for area. That would explain why it seemed Togo was larger than Mongolia.
