Where did you find this information? Google + Wikipedia both say that Seychelles southernmost point is over 1,300 km north of Madagascar while Comoros is around 300-400 km away

Okay, for some reason neither Google nor Wikipedia counted Farquhar Island. 258 km compared to 300 - 400 km then. Thanks.

Great quiz. Could you clarify a bit better in the description that the "nearest island country" is based on the sequential answers typed? I thought initially that it was always in reference to Iceland. (I couldn't see distances as was on mobile)

Great quiz. I would love to see it with the version that has a zoomed in cutout of the Caribbean, but this was still great.

That one dot in the Mediterranean (supposedly called "Cyprus") does not exist. It is a big hoax created by aliens

Great quiz, nominated! Curious to the logic, why is the next answer for Indonesia, PNG and not East Timor? They are equally far from Indonesia.

Got 100%! Was briefly tripped up by Bahrain and Singapore I will admit, as well as frustratedly staring at my phone for 2 minutes thinking Comoros was closer to Madagascar than Seychelles

Great idea for a quiz! Nominated ;)

I'd suggest to change quiz name to "Island Country Hopping", to avoid any confusion.
