Interesting quiz... except Hong Kong is not a country. It never has been.

If you want to keep Hong Kong you should change the heading to countries/territories instead of just countries. Very few people are going to guess something that's not even a country. If you want to be consistent with sporcle you should probably accept UK for United Kingdom as well. Apart from that I think it's a really good quiz.

@ xDragon: Great quiz. When Hong Kong appears in a list that I'm using, I often make China an alternative answer for Hong Kong. In the alternative, I don't see why you couldn't drop it. After all, it is not a country.

Dropping it is dumb because the HDI includes it, it would be inaccurate otherwise. Also I'm glad to see Barbados so high. Go them.

Since Sporcle, does not like Wikipedia as a source. http://hdr.undp.org/en/statistics/ Link is to the United Nations Human Development page. If you click on the country name, it will show you the ranking.

Using expected years of schooling makes no sense. Instead of just measuring amount of education, they lower a country's score some more because they don't expect their kids to go to school that long?
