Belgium's coastline is only 67 km. I think some of the numbers aren't correct at all.

Nice quiz. FYI I think Ecuador's coastline is a lot less than Peru's and a couple other numbers seem a little off, but other than that, very good idea, should be featured

Gambia? Does it not have only 80 kilometer long coastline?

And Bruneis coastline is only 161km... though this one can be argued.

There is no way on earth F. S. Micronesia has a smaller coastline than Tonga? Micronesia is around 600 islands. Several sources give coastline measurements of over 3,500 miles or 5,600 kilometers. Monaco’s coastline is 4.1 km or 2.55 miles. I think these measurements are off by a little?

I just realized this quiz is almost ten years old. They should update it because many of the numbers are off by a lot rather than a little. Don’t mean to be harsh. But the data should be correct!
