Anyone else willing to admit that they know many of the Albania questions due to Coach from Cheers. "Albania! Albania! You border on the Adriatic!"

Seems an odd decision to stop at 17 questions?

Of course, there's no real reason to go to 20 rather than 17 other than convention, just seems unusual

A not quiz-specific question / suggestion: is it possible to unify the personal best time indication which one sees before taking the quiz and the one shown after completing it?

The first one shows how much time the person needed and the latter shows remaining time.

For example, for the current quiz it says for me: "Your fastest time is 3:37" and "Your best time is 2:19 remaining". Since I didn't pay attention to the timer in the beginning, I don't know if my current time is better than the previous try or not. For me it's more confusing than helpful.

The hint of 30% nomadic stumped me, I thought of Mauritania, Nigeria, Somalia, etc, etc. Just couldn't get the correct answer

The Albania question kinda stumped me, at first I thought Tunisia, but it doesn't border the Adriatic. Then maybe Croatia, but it isn't really close the Italy's "heel", then Albania hit me

Nice quiz overall

Source for the 30% nomadic or semi-nomadic figure?

I'm guessing the figure is sourced from the 3rd paragraph of the introductory section of the country's Wikipedia article. However, that part of the article is not itself backed up by a footnote, so it's hard to say where it ultimately comes from.
