If Gibraltar is counted the UK should not be considered an island country, so Ireland and Cyprus would be the answers by bordering UK whose territory is on a continent.

Ireland and Cyprus are also island countries, so that do not qualify.

Yes, they are island countries bordering UK, that not should be considered island country in that case.

I've never seen Cyprus treated as bordering UK on this website, but if it was the case, shouldn't we consider USA as bordering Cuba because of Guantanamo Bay?

Actually, military bases would gave the USA common borders with probably a dozen European and Asian countries...

There is a land border on Passport Island between Bahrain and Saudi Arabia. For Singapore the border would be up in the air on a bridge. Check out the caveats.

I fully agree with your use of Gibraltar, Passport Island, and Adam’s Bridge; without it the quiz would be dull!

Just curious, how does Sri Lanka border India?

The maritime border between India and Sri Lanka passes in the middle of a tiny shoal in the strait between them, so they nominally have a land border. Jetpunk and most other sources don't normaly consider it a land border though.
