	very interesting quiz. suprised to see south americans get around that much

	Why wouldn't South Americans travel?

	I was surprised not to see Poland on here. Cool quiz!

	@Tomhaha: You may be suspicious of the source, but the top 20 are pretty much the same as the countries on the US Census site (http://www.census.gov/compendia/statab/2011/tables/11s1270.xls) with the exception of a ridiculously low figure for Canada (43,000 visitors) on the Census site. I have to assume they only counted Canadians who needed a visa.

	No Russia ? o_O

	Lack of Russia surprised me. Following the transitive property, at least some Russians are capable of seeing Sarah Palin's house from their homeland so it seems like a pretty simple visit.

	@giveupyet, @Xala83 : That might be because the majority of these countries are on the VWP (Visa Waiver Program) - i.e don't need a visa (except for MX, CHI, BR, IND, ARG, COL and VEN - and some of these countries may be explained by their proximity). Whereas Poland and Russia do need visas to enter US soil. Nontheless, PL is a part of the ''road map'' countries. Bottom line - I did find this kinda logical :D PS : GREAT Quizz ;)

	@tomahaha - You might want to to add a more reliable source for your link above to make the information more credible. I would look into the source that rockgolf provided.

	I did clearly point out this was not the best source and to change it using a new source (one that has a VERY noticeable error [Canada]) seems like reinventing the wheel to me, the stats on the quiz would be thrown out of whack as well. Especially when it was pointed out the differences were already so slight. I say one should just enjoy it as is and accept the poor source knowing this is what it is and nothing more.

	The title/question is a bit misleading! You say what nationalities, then you dont actually accept the nationalities, but the countries they come from. I agree with zwalsh54 that you should really just accept Britsh, French, Canadian etc!

	tomahaha:	Jan 17th, 2011 at 12:55 GMT		2 points
	I will alter it to read better, to accept "French" allows too many possibilities, the nation limits that, but true, the wording should therefore change! ...Good catch

	Time seems about a minute too long, with half the players getting at least 90% and the least-guessed answer over 50%

	Rossipotamus:	Jan 17th, 2011 at 21:23 GMT		5 points
	are there even 17,000,000 people in Canada?

	purplebackpack89:	Jan 17th, 2011 at 21:39 GMT		1 point
	probably a lot of Canadians make multiple trips annually...i.e. Windsor-Detroit. Surprised I didn't see any Central America or Caribbean countries in the top 20

	tomahaha:	Jan 18th, 2011 at 02:11 GMT		2 points
	I happen to live near Canada (an hour away) and every weekend I see dozens and dozens of Ontario plates in the Mall parking lots, Buffalo sees a whole lot more than we do. Add them up for simple shopping sprees and you have an awful lot of Canadians (not that you guys are a "awful lot" mind you!)

	GeoFan1:	Jan 19th, 2011 at 16:48 GMT		1 point
	Rossipotamus, there are 34,326,000 people living in Canada. But, that is irrelevant. This quiz is looking at number of arrivals, so individuals can be counted more than once.

	@JohnJF: Not to be excessively nitpicky or anything, but that would be the commutative property. :-)
