	the 10th one is wrong "Thailand" ... not "Thialand" but I didn't let that stop me

	1447:	Nov 20th, 2009 at 14:42 GMT	5 points
	You've misspelled Thailand as Thialand. Bahrain is an island, and you haven't included any other islands, so I don't see why you'd include Bahrain either. It's also kinda unclear which country to start with. You say "start in the north and go clockwise", while mentioning the coastlines of Europe, Asia and Africa, in that order. The northernmost point of Europe is Cape Nordkinn in Norway, yet Russia is the first country. The sequence should have been Asia, Africa and Europe. Nitpicking, I know, but it's much more fun for us geography nerds when the quiz is flawless ;)

	Thanks for the feedback, first crack at making a quiz for me, so I can really use the input.

	I'd agree with 1447. I wasted vital seconds trying to work out where to start. Excellent quiz though.

	Great quiz! I'd love to see one for the Americas too.

	The southernmost point of Spain is Gibraltar, and that's British. So then it would be: France-Spain-UK-Spain-Portugal. And there are some Spanish enclaves in Morocco too, so that would become: Mauritania-Morocco-Spain-Morocco-Spain-Morocco-Algeria.

	@marpocky: it already exists, it's from the same user as this one.

	I wasn't quite sure how to deal with Gibraltar and the Spanish territories in Africa. Currently, the quiz allows "UK/United Kingdom/Gibraltar" as an alternative answer for Portugal, and "Spain" as an alternative answer for Algeria, but I'd be interested in feedback on how to handle those cases. (Possibly also relevant for Western Sahara and Gaza). Similarly, on the americas quiz, "France" will advance the game to Brazil. I've now fixed the title. I was thinking of Russia as the northernmost point on the European/Asian/African landmass, but I agree that Asia/Africa/Europe makes more sense.

	Good quiz! The Moroccan coastline is disrupted three times by Spain since Penon de Velez de la Gomera became a peninsula in the 30's. My OCD isn't fulfilled without this being taken into account, but I think you made a reasonable compromise. I would disagree with UK counting for Gibraltar. Gibraltar isn't an integral part of the UK - it's a territory. Again I'd like to see Gibraltar upgraded to a full answer but understand why you'd be reluctant to do so.

Comment below threshold: show it

	I was really confused by Russia showing up both at the beginning and end of the quiz--I wasted quite a bit of time on the last answer, trying to figure out which Scandinavian country I hadn't tried yet could possibly border Russia.

	Azrael:	Nov 20th, 2009 at 18:45 GMT	1 point
	We still have one quiz left: how about an Australian coastline quiz? Okay, maybe not that much fun. A Borneo coastline quiz would be better than that. Or even a Saint Martin quiz.

	Brad:	Nov 20th, 2009 at 19:02 GMT	1 point
	Great quiz! I'd consider adding Singapore...yes it's technically an island, but the Johore Strait is basically an intracoastal waterway. Singapore is considered part of the coast much like Miami Beach or Galveston, TX (both islands) are U.S. "coastal" cities.

	For the sake of Sporcle consistency, since I'm asking for countries, I won't include territories. Also, since Sporcle doesn't count Spain as a country in Africa, I'm skipping that, too. Any objections to the exclaves that make the list (Kaliningrad, Russia; Cabinda, Angola; and Musandam, Oman)? I think these are all integral parts of the respective countries, rather than just territories, but I'm open to correction/discussion.

	Possible bonus answers to consider: Hong Kong, Macau, Singapore, Bahrain, Western Sahara/SADR, Ceuta, Peñón de Vélez de la Gomera, Melilla, Palestine/Gaza, Abkhazia, Gibraltar. Any others?

	toucan:	Nov 20th, 2009 at 19:37 GMT	1 point
	Also, should I cut the time on this quiz?

	nyo:	Nov 20th, 2009 at 19:42 GMT	3 points
	Getting 102 out of 104 for not using palestine (might as well add abkhazia and western sahara)and bahrain is rather lame. Make them a bonus?

	toucan:	Nov 20th, 2009 at 19:45 GMT	1 point
	@micah: My idea was that you'd start at the northern tip of the landmass and trace a circuit back to your starting point, which is why I listed Russia at both the beginning and the end.

	toucan:	Nov 20th, 2009 at 19:48 GMT	1 point
	@nyo: you must have caught the quiz while I was adding bonus answers. Palestine and Bahrain are bonuses now. There should be 103 regular answers.

	It should go uae - oman - uae - oman - uae - oman. This link shows why: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Musandam_Governorate

	@joe545: Madha isn't coastal

	Man, 44% of the people taking this quiz so far have gotten them all?!? I missed only 5 and was feeling really, really proud of myself.

	yellowcarpet:	Dec 21st, 2009 at 16:14 GMT	0 points
	I think British and Spanish enclaves should be included. Western Sahara, etc, no.

	joebobs:	Jan 31st, 2010 at 01:04 GMT	2 points
	Brilliant! Really, really fun. Honestly one of my favourite quizzes I've ever played on sporcle. Very well done. On the above comments, I'd agree with A is for Addict - no to Gibraltar, it's not really part of the UK - yes to the Spanish cities in Morocco - however it would make it very difficult, I can see lots of people struggling on it. Maybe best to leave it as it is, for playability sake. Also, kudos for responding to the feedback so well, I wish more quiz makers did this!

	Love this quiz, but 15 minutes is waaayyy too much.

	cheesenewyorkbob:	Jul 28th, 2011 at 17:10 GMT	1 point

	Golbez:	Oct 28th, 2011 at 16:11 GMT	1 point
	Why is UAE-Oman-UAE-Oman included (which is valid), but not Morocco-Spain-Morocco-Spain-Morocco?
