	For those who think Hong Kong should be acceptable for Victoria, it is now officially referred to as "Central"! Thanks for playing!

	See what Sporcle has done to me? I see Victoria and immediately think Seychelles when Victoria, Canada is just 60 miles away from me. Never occurred to me to try Vancouver Island. Awesome quiz, yippeeyappee!

	yippeeyappee - thanks for the explanation. I almost had a breakdown wondering why HK wasn't accepted. In the grand scheme of things however I think I should probably be more worried that 21% of players don't know where London is!

	The Sporcle difference: Nailing St. Vincent and Zealand but failing to get Puerto Rico.

	Well i knew Maroni was in Comoros, but i was never going to guess Ngazidja. i still don't know how to spell it and it's right in front of me.

	Wow. I really need to do some island hopping or I'm going to have to turn in my sporcle-card. Missed far too many for being around this site this long.

	That was tough having to name the island! I could name the country very easily, but island name is hard! Neat idea, enjoyed the challenge.

	@wanderbygrace and @singin185: I made a quiz going the other way which I found useful practice before I did this one: http://www.sporcle.com/games/TheArbiter/countriesofislands.Great quiz yippeeyappee!! 5 orbs!

	ups my bad - largest city!! Im going to sleep...

	@Saddlebags12: the name in Spanish is la Española, precisely "the Spanish (island)". If the Spanish spelling is to be accepted without tilde, it would be Espanola. As far as I know, Hispanola and Hispanyola don't exist in any language (even in Catalan, that normally uses "ny" where Castilian Spanish has "ñ", the name of the island is Hispaniola).

	Pretty disappointed Svalbard wasn't included as at least a bonus answer to make fun of people who try it.

	Gieron:	Jan 4th, 2011 at 00:06 GMT		6 points
	@FriedChckn: Svalbard isn't an island, it's an archipelago. Spitsbergen is the largest island with the largest city Longyearbyen. But I'm not going to sit here and seem all knowing. I just learned that there is an island called Hawaii that isn't what I thought it was.

	Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk for the win!

	As for Copenhagen, it should be Zeeland only as the correct answer as Amager is an island on its own and only covers a very small part of Copenhagen

	@Turbochrissie: But even so, Copenhagen is still the biggest city on Amager, so it is a correct answer, if not the obvious one. And it's Zealand, Zeeland is a Dutch province.
