Well... the path to success is a one-way trip through Central America.

It works on number of borders away from France. I got all 11 levels without naming any Central American countries. I named mostly African countries... The one surety is you have to guess Lesotho! ;)

You don't have to name any in Central America. But those countries only have one other possible border, making them optimal for a quick time, or just completing the quiz.

I wonder which two countries would be the furthest away from each other in this way? I'm thinking Lesotho and Canada but not sure if you get between those through a country other than France

It's not. Canada borders Denmark on Hans Island. Of course,it depends on what oversees territories you may or may not be including.

And the funny thing is France and Canada are only like 2 miles apart if going from the closest spot in Newfoundland (Green Island) to St Pierre and Miquelon (Grand Colombier)

I liked this quiz, but it was quite easy. An idea for a variation of this would be that you have to name all countries that borders, before you can move on to the next ring and so on.

I answered southafrica but it didn't marked Lesotho and I missed that only..why?
+3
Level 70
Nov 11, 2025
Because it doesn't border the previous rings of countries that South Africa borders. If you watch the map, it's clear that answering South Africa won't give you Lesotho as one borders Namibia/Botswana/Zambia etc. and one doesn't. Lesotho was my last answer.

The most efficient path (with the fewest letters), as far as I can tell:

Spain/Italy, Guyana, DRPK, ROK, CAR, KSA, UAE, USA, Canada, Lesotho

not a real border? It clearly exists. There is a border between Canada and Greenland. Just because its not between two sovereign states doesn't mean its a "fake" border. Would you say the border between England and Wales isn't a "real" border?

Canada borders the Danish Realm, of the Kingdom of Denmark, which of course includes the Faroe Islands and Greenland. There are plenty of comments restating the same, "Hans Island" stuff. Unfortunately for everyone, overseas territories aren't a standard for JetPunk. And no, French Guiana and Ceuta/Melilla aren't territories.
