No, no, they covered their bases. "Named for a color in the English language". Darn, we'll get them with something.

Seems incomplete without the names of the seas - better yet, make quiz takers fill in the names! Granted, it's not a big add, but it would add another fun challenge to the quiz.

Somalia borders the Gulf of Aden, south of the Red Sea. The Bab-el-Mandeb is the strait at the end of the Red Sea, and that's where Djibouti is.
