	why not just make it the top five? the rest are just stabs in the dark.

	You should also accept the English name for #7.

	I made the list as long as it is because it is short, only 11 places but also because it lists EVERY producer, no other nations produce any! Finally, if I went with top 5 only you would have a simple list of little interest, THIS one uses countries you would not normally think of. This list will make you actually learn something and use your brain instead of an easy wham baam thank you maam easy list.

	#7 is Timor-Leste I don't know what you mean by it's English name, this is what we see all the time on Sporcle. But also accepted (all along) is simply "Timor" I can't get any more simple than that, I wonder what you would have me accept besides this?

	East Timor? I don't use that because that is not it's name, kind of like accepting Czechoslovakia for the Czech Republic. I did have it dumbed down to Timor and consider that more than fair.

	I must question your bonus for the United States. It is not quite so incredulous as you would have it, since Dominica and Grenada are both producers. Have you forgotten that Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands are both in the same region?

	as is Guam, But according to the source the US produces nothing (or at least nothing to speak of) My guess (and it's my GUESS only) is it would be too expensive to produce and harvest for the US, looking at those nations that do produce and you have some poor nations with low labor rates. Remember cinnamon is a bark and I assume ripping it off a tree is pretty labor intensive??? ...Checking wiki right now, yes quite labor intensive! and surprising they list areas such as India, Tanzania and Egypt as being commercial growers yet the UN source shows them all at zero.

	East Timor is its name in the same way that Ivory Coast is the name of Cote d'Ivoire (and Timor is not a country, it is an island that East Timor shares with Indonesia).

	I like the quiz. I was just starting to go through the African islands. I never remember Comoros. As far as names go, the general rule with Sporkle quizzes is to accept East Timor, Timor will do no one any good.

	I like the quiz as well. I wasn't suggesting that the US was a correct answer - rather that it wasn't as farfetched an answer as your comment on the bonus would indicate. Puerto Rico doesn't have anywhere near the labor costs of the mainland us and the US produces coffee (in small quantities), an equally surprising crop.

	I don't doubt small quantities are grown, that isn't acknowledged. But an aside, I wonder if they might gow small qtys in Hawaii as well? Oh, and east Timor, it's on there guys if anyone tried it they would have found it worked as well.
