Have Asia and Europe accidentally been combined or is it just my phone? Needs more time anyway.

Happened on mine too and South America didn’t even show. Maybe a phone thing 🤷‍♀️

I have tried to fix it. Hope it's ok now. And added one minute more.

Could you also accept Sokotra or Soqotra?

Level 70

Dec 14, 2022

Soqotra is accepted at default.

I like the quiz even though I missed a lot of them (even Newfoundland! Duh!) I'm not totally sure whether Jetpunk will officially accept the fourth-biggest European island being that far east of Cyprus, Armenia etc., although I don't suppose you need to worry about that until the eventual featuring eh.

Super quiz; learned a lot from it.

Good quiz overall. You should accept Svalbard as a version of Spitsbergen.

Level 70

Dec 14, 2022

I am not sure. Spitsbergen is an island, but Svalbard is the whole archipelago.

Excellent quiz. Nominated. And you are absolutely correct not to accept Svalbard.

Thanks!

Yep, I tried Svalbard, but I would be super annoyed if Japan was accepted for Honshu. Although Falkland might be acceptable.

Can you add the unit of area?

It's of course km2

in Oceania, everything is an island, so Australia and New Zealand should count. Also, Greenland belongs to Denmark, so it is European, not North American.

Mainland Australia is a continental landmass, as well as the mainlands of Afro-Eurasia, Americas and Antarctica. New Zealand is not a single island; the two biggest are listed.

Greenland is still located in North-America, even if it politically belongs to Denmark.
