	Once you get your head around this, this a good quiz. You need to be more specific in your instructions though, stating that a country only counts for it's most uncommon letter. Possibly rephrase: "For example, the most uncommon letter appearing in Ohio is H, so it would be one of the possibilities for H, but not O or I."

	@Skold Yeah, it is a bit tough to explain. I'll try to reword it a bit.

	Nice quiz. I would add 1 minute.

	I agree that it needs just a bit more time. Very good quiz idea.

	I must admit, I don't get this at all. Spain counts for P (1/5) but not for S (also 1/5)? Estonia is the only one that counts for S? (No Switzerland, Swaziland, Sweden, Liechtenstein...?) And Eritrea's most uncommon letter is R? Which there are two of (and only one I, T and A). Iran for R but not Iraq? I was repeatedly trying things like the above which didn't show up either at all or where I expected, so I definitely haven't understood how this works

	Hold on, I've got it now (coming back to it after a night's sleep). You're after the most uncommon letter BASED ON FREQUENCY IN NORMAL ENGLISH USAGE. I think you should say that or something like it in the instructions - I'd thought you were after the letter that appeared least frequently in the country's name (hence my ramblings above).

	I'd take out the UK "bonus" clue - it pops up when you're trying to type in Ukraine.
