	This must be the toughest quiz I've ever made. Hard to intuit this one. Unless you know the sheep-farming countries, you pretty much have to take a stab at agricultural countries with small populations.

	I like Sheeps vs Peeps :)

	Fun quiz! Knew New Zealand and Australia would top this quiz. Also knew sheep are very popular in the Balkans and Muslim countries (North Africa, Middle East, and Central Asia), but there were some surprises on the list. I think it may have been better to show the number of sheep per capita. By that standard, the "sheepiest" countries are: New Zealand (9.2 sheep per person), Australia (4.6), Mongolia (3.8), and Uruguay (3). Liked the bonus answer. Also, http://faostat.fao.org/site/573/DesktopDefault.aspx?PageID=573#ancor would have been a better link to your source data, I think.

	@tahitiwahini: "Helpful suggestions," indeed! Thank you! I debated at length (with myself?) about how to present the numbers, but chose difference rather than ratio. I think you make a great point. Should I decide to take a break from study long enough, I'll have to insert ratios. For now, I'm going to swap your link to the source material. Thanks again! ("Sheepiest," brilliant!) @Skold: I was pretty proud of myself for coming up with that most brilliant rhyme.

	Baaaa! Baa. Baa. Baaaaa.(Translation: Great quiz. Thank you.)

	Yay! NZ on top of a quiz! So what was the bonus answer? I tried the Vatican in case that was one but no, although my guess is zero sheep there.

	So hard to get these countries but once they appear it makes so much sense. Extreme climates that are not conducive to human population density but are great for the sheep.

	LinuxLinus:	May 23rd, 2012 at 15:48 GMT		1 point
	I don't know that you'd call New Zealand an extreme climate at all.

	indianwolf1992:	May 23rd, 2012 at 15:56 GMT		1 point
	@LinuxLinus: true, but New Zealand and Australia were the obvious ones that came to me, most of the others are relatively harsh climates.

	wasteoflawtime:	May 25th, 2012 at 00:34 GMT		1 point
	@indianwolf1992: I don't think I would hate living in Ireland, and I find New Zealand and Australia conducive to the point that I'd consider eating only lamb sandwiches if it meant I'd clear out enough space in one of those places! (otherwise I agree with your attempt at finding a pattern)

	I love you so much for putting my home on this list, even though it's just a bonus. Most people don't include it in anything. I think I may know a little too much about sheep to have guessed all ten plus two bonuses without looking them up.

	The great/tough thing about this quiz is that NONE of the countries are bordering. Amazing that this can be true about any geography quiz that isn't specifically about small or island countries.
