Not at all. The population of Afghanistan has skyrocketed.

But Kinshasa is much, much larger than Kabul or Kandahar.

Quick Question: Wouldn't Central African Republic also work? I counted up the borders and got 6. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm RELATIVELY sure that beats DR Congo.

Same, wasted heaps of time on later questions thinking only of answers from African nations. Suggest re-order those first two questions wouldn't hurt to have them lower down the list.

I have been banging my head in frustration having thought the same thing. Just re-read the question and checked the comments, so glad there was someone else who did the same thing

Seems like no one else has had this issue so I think it's just a me problem, but for "Country with the most populous city starting with the letter K", I understood it in the way that the most populous city within the country had to start with a K, not that it could be any country with a more populous "K" city. Great quiz though, I love this series! :)

Oh, I did have the issue too. I found the clue confusing and tried Afghanistan (Kabul) and Malaysia (Kuala Lumpur).(I do realize that Kabul is much smaller than Kinshasa.) I was even wondering at some point if the clue counts the size of the countries which have a biggest city starting with K.

Shouldn't Malaysia be under the category of the most populous country starting with a K? Kuala Lumpur is the most populated city.
