Great quiz! I do like this idea: nominated :)

Maybe activate yellow box? And maybe max 3 or 4 pictures per row?

EVERY country at night would be an awesome challenge!

Satellite photos at night are a great way to teach human geography; population patterns -- lights along a river or railroads, or HDI -- the photo of the Koreas.

Incredible on some of these countries how concentrated the population is in just a few cities. Amazing photos, enjoyable quiz, thank you.
